Trump needs to pay for the wall with a tax on remittances

There is virtually no legal way to tax remittances

Conservatives for more taxes?

Trumpettes are NOT conservatives....

Got a link for that bullshit? Didn't think so....thanks for playing.

Bullshit. Call it a "fee" instead of a "tax"
The Remittance Fee in Oklahoma, Georgia, and in the U.S. Congress

Even Ann Coulter agrees that Trump needs to impose a tax on remittances, money sent out of the US, to pay for the wall. He doesn't even need congressional approval to do it.

Bad idea. It is exactly taxes like this, that end up being expanded to hit everyday Americans.

Next we'll be getting hit with a remittance tax, when we visit Canada on Vacation.

Just don't do that. The government makes more than enough money on taxes, to pay for the wall... the incompetent congress, just needs to do it.

Disagree that the government gets adequate funding to pay for the wall, the Budget Deficit is over $1T.
We need to pay for the wall and for all government spending, especially the wars in Syria and AFG, or the interest on the Debt will kill entitlements. This thread is only about funding the wall as Trump promised, not with US tax dollars, but with a fee on money transfers out of the US.

Wasn’t Mexico going to pay for the wall? Why are we raising taxes?

What part of "no US person" will pay the tax don't you get? Its a tax on foreigner cash being sent out of the US.

I don’t see where it says that in the article but whatever…it will take about 2.6 seconds for Western Union to simply charge 1% and completely short-circuit the Republican Tax hike.

The Remittance Fee in Oklahoma, Georgia, and in the U.S. Congress

What I have in mind is a 2 percent withholding fee on wire transfers out of the nation, i.e., on cash transfers that would include illegal aliens' remittances to their homelands, some drug trades, and some legitimate, non-corporate money transactions.

So any wire transfer is now being taxed at 2%?

Because you WON'T be able to only target illegal immigrants

And also, there is the fact that it doesn’t get us one penny from Mexico. So Mexico still isn’t paying for the wall. I’m somewhat surprised that the Trumpians have abandoned that lie

Michael Jackson earned over a billion dollars in his lifetime. Before he died, he was on the verge of bankruptcy.

The problem wasn't that he was not getting adequate funding. The problem was he was spending too much money on things he should not have been buying.

Our government collected $3.4 Trillion dollars in taxes. The GDP of the entire economy of Germany is only $3.6 Trillion dollars. There are only 3 nations on the face of this planet, that have a large national GDP, than how much our government collects in tax revenue.

There is no lack of funding. The problem is our government gives out 65% of the budget in entitlements.

Cut entitlements.... which account for 65% of the entire budget.... and you will have so much money left over.... you could build not only a wall around the entire country, but you could build walls between each state if you desired, and still have money left over to pay down the national debt.

So draining our tax base 50 billion (conservatively) dollars annually is more to your liking?

Maybe we could get Mexico to give us $50B? LOL

I was told Mexico is paying for the wall.
Now I’m told that we should raise taxes to pay for the wall.
This after we’ve shut down the government for not funding construction of the wall.
This after I was told that we could just use the military budget to build the wall.

Passing a budget does not raise taxes.

Taxes on foreign money that should be spent here in the US creating jobs and paying taxes, YES!!

Did THIS tax scheme come up when the "great negotiator" was finalizing NAFTA 2.0???

Never said it did shit brains. The title of the thread….suggests we should raise taxes to pay for a wall that Mexico was supposed to be building for us for free.

You can’t be this stupid in real life, can you?

Cruz Introduces the Immigration Slush Fund Elimination Act

Specifically the Immigration Slush Fund Elimination Act proposes the following:

● End DHS’s ability to fund lawlessness. The Obama Administration’s DHS, via U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), has admitted it uses so-called offsetting accounts (which function like agency checking accounts) to take the fees it charges legal immigrants and use them to fund amnesty and other activities that Congress has not authorized. In recent congressional testimony, USCIS Chief Financial Officer Joseph Moore confirmed that USCIS can access more than $1 billion in fee-based funding, and that it used those funds to pay for an unauthorized amnesty processing center in Arlington, Va. Eliminating the ability of USCIS to use the money it collects to support amnesty and other unauthorized activities is a first step toward reining in the executive branch’s lawless approach to immigration.

● Restore congressional authority over DHS and immigration issues. By eliminating the offsetting accounts under USCIS’s control, Congress would end USCIS’s ability to self-fund. This would reduce USCIS’s ability to ignore the people’s representatives and restore respect for the Constitution’s separation of powers and the legislative power of the purse.

● Eliminate DHS’s profit incentive, which distracts from the agency’s core national security mission. Right now, USCIS has an incentive to process as many immigration benefits as possible, without regard to consequences. While legal immigration should be celebrated and supported, the agency’s desire to collect more fee-based revenue – along with its unrestricted ability to keep and use those fees – arguably interferes with USCIS’s objective review of application processing. Removing the focus on fees and revenue will once again focus USCIS on its core responsibilities, including protecting our national security and preventing immigration benefit fraud.


Reverse the tables...........Use it against the Democrats......they used it for Amnesty for Dreamers and DACA...Use to build the wall.

Far more money there than tax remittance...............which wouldn't produce much money.........What Obama did generated money.

Not YOUR taxes dinglefuck. Unless you send your earnings out of country.
But since you're a democrat, I doubt you earn shit, except what you horde from taxpayers.

I'm actually curious how many of the never-Trumpers will stay that way during 2020, or if they will grudgingly support Trump over a dem. Trump is not perfect by a mile, but he is still way better than any democrat. He saved the USSC and the other Fed courts, and will hopefully get a few more new justices (RBG, Thomas, Breyer) before he's done. If the economy keeps humming along his chances in 2020 look better than they were in 2016, which is good.

If by real conservatives you mean globalists like Krystal, Romney, Flake and the like, good riddance. The never-Trumpers had better leave the party, they are done.

As usual they lie about taxation also.

What is a lie?

About how the repubs are into less taxation.

What part of no Americans would pay the tax don't you understand? It's money being sent back to their foreign countries, about $138b a year, so a 2% tax would get us about $2.7b a year, every year.

The money they earned should not be earned in the first place yet the lax laws on the subject allow them to operate in plain site and earn a living..I'd prefer they are not able to earn this money from rich people and corporations who break the law knowingly to hire these people...And yes Americans are still paying for a wall when US funds are sent to other nations via electronic remittances, whose money do you think created this money to be sent?

You say they should not be earning that money, yet, you are opposed to measures to keep them out, and the ones that are here you want amnesty for.

How do you propose they live?
