Expecting
Mexico or the countries of Central America to come to our aid to the flow of
illegals stem
Is
the height of delusion to expect help when people are fleeing from poverty,
murder, rape and mayhem
Add
to that the fact that when illegals the border manage to cross and into the
interior disappear
If
they dodge the law and get a job soon at the Western Union branch they will
appear
To
remit a portion of their earnings to family left behind
With
11 million illegals each sending a few dollars the total runs in the billions
combined
Mexico
receives more money from remittances that it does from oil or tourists to the
once Amigo Land
With
fears that Trump will ban or tax the practice the amounts are soaring out of
hand
Remittances
are a drag on our economy and should be taxed and ten to fifteen percent
Cover
the border security and Wall construction costs we have spents
Better
to tax for if remittances were to cease those countries would be up a creek
without an oar
No
wonder our requests for assistance on
immigration they chose to ignore
Money
flowing out of the country represents goods and services not bought
Jobs
lost harder to realize the economic growth we have sought
Until
we start fining and putting business owners who hire illegals in jail
The
magnet of jobs drawing illegals here will prevail
We
need to expand guest worker permits so certain work like agriculture gets done
But
only if e-verify is in place and harsh penalties likewise if the permit has
expired but owner that fact shuns
The
permits should be for females and males without children in tow
Or
the fiscal strain on our public services and schools will exponentially grow
As
a carrot to the Central American countries foreign aid should be linked to
assistance in stemming the flow
Money
that we could use in reducing the national debt we owe
