MEXICO'S LOOTING OF AMERICA - Wall fund: Aid to Mexico, dollars immigrants send home

Wall fund: Aid to Mexico, dollars immigrants send home: Eager to help President Trump complete the 1,954-mile wall on the southern border, lawmakers are considering a financing plan that would tax the money that immigrants send home to Mexico and tap State Department foreign aid to the country. House and Senate Republicans told Secrets that raiding those two caches of money would offset costs to taxpayers, a key demand of fiscal conservatives, and live up to Trump's promise to make Mexico pay for the wall. In focus, according to the lawmakers, is the $23 billion that Mexicans who are legally and illegally in the United States send home every year and the $209 million the government gives Mexico in aid, including money for police, military, food and even Peace Corps programs. Everything from a 10 percent tax on those cash payments to a one-year grab of it has been proposed. A tax on [cash] transmittals could pay that thing off in a reasonable period of time. I would imagine that foreign aid could supplement that payoff, said Rep. Andy Biggs, a newly elected House member who has been on the immigration front lines for years in Arizona. Walls do work. You pay for the wall with
transmittal payments, he said.

Wall fund: Aid to Mexico, dollars immigrants send home

Eager to help President Trump complete the 1,954-mile wall on the southern border, lawmakers are considering a financing plan that would tax the money that immigrants send home to Mexico and tap State Department foreign aid to the country.
House and Senate Republicans told Secrets that raiding those two caches of money would offset costs to taxpayers, a key demand of fiscal conservatives, and live up to Trump's promise to make Mexico pay for the wall.
In focus, according to the lawmakers, is the $23 billion that Mexicans who are legally and illegally in the United States send home every year and the $209 million the government gives Mexico in aid, including money for police, military, food and even Peace Corps programs.
Everything from a 10 percent tax on those cash payments to a one-year grab of it has been proposed.
Foreign aid is also a ripe target, though Biggs said the focus would be on cash the Treasury sends to Mexico because it is easier to get than grants that filter through organizations such as the United Nations.
The State Department said Mexico receives $209 million a year in U.S. aid, or about 37 cents per Mexican.
Wisconsin Sen. Ron Johnson, chairman of the committee overseeing the wall, also is considering those targets to fund the wall.
Out of the mix for now is a tax on goods coming into the United States from Mexico. U.S. officials said that it would spark a trade war, which Mexican officials seem to want.
Biggs decried the "bellicosity" from top Mexican officials promising to retaliate if the U.S. raises the trade bar.
"Nobody is saying anything about trade. I think people want to keep trade. It's important to keep trade. All we're saying is, 'Quit promising people in the country illegally that they can vote, have full citizenship rights in America and Mexico.' Let's have normalized relations. But we can't have normalized relations because you don't recognize the sanctity of our borders like you recognize the sanctity of your own southern border," Biggs said.

EL TRUMPO SURRENDERS TO THE MEXICAN FASCIST PARTY of LA RAZA…. Obama’s amnesty handed to them on a silver platter.




 THE LA RAZA PLAN: California’s final surrender to fly the Mexican flag within 4 years.

"The American Southwest seems to be slowly returning to the jurisdiction of Mexico without firing a single shot."  -- - EXCELSIOR --- national newspaper of Mexico


They claim all of North America for Mexico!
Second, where is the governor of California calling on AMLO to stop it and go home?  More to the point, is California so far gone that no one objects to a foreigner criticizing a U.S. president on our soil?   

BILLIONAIRES FOR BORDERLESS AMERICA

….It’s all to keep wages DEPRESSED.
 “This nation no longer is a democratic republic...rather it has become a tool of the super-rich members of the above mentioned elite who preselect our presidents based on their cooperation and complicity with the elite’s ultimate goals. Obama has, in their opinion done superbly carrying out the plans well laid out for him by his backers.”        

“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration policy are affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for low-end work. Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers lose $190 billion annually (DATED FIGURES) in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding of the labor market at the low-wage end.”   --- Christian Science Monitor

REMITTANCES ….. are only part of Mexico’s looting… and billions for anchor  baby breeders, billions for heroin sales and then do the numbers!


Mexicans abroad sent home nearly $2.4 billion in transfers in November, 24.7 percent higher than a year earlier, marking their fastest pace of expansion since March 2006, according to Mexican central bank data on Monday…
