Republicans want to tax remittances sent by migrants, visa holders to their home countries
House Republicans want to tax remittances, which would cover over 40 million people in the U.S., including green card and visa holders who send money to families.www.nbcnews.com
Absolutely foolish policy. No two ways about it.
You see things like this and it really emphasizes the point some people are making about the US being an empire in decline.
This is just rent seeking behavior. It will not discourage illegal immigration. People that are immigrating here illegally aren’t doing it to send money home. They come here for a better life for themselves THEN send money

My Grandma still does, my mom stopped when she realised people were fleecing her. I only send money to my sister (4 and 9) on holidays.
I have a cousin who fleeced me about, I wanna come to Canada can you sponsor me. I didn't send any money but a letter saying I'm inviting him here. He ended up going to the England for vacation instead.
Watch my ass get arrest next time I touch the UK or JA

Trumph has been feeding raw meat to his supporters over this overall topic, and this is more of the same.
"Immigrants are taking American money, and sending it overseas".
The MAGA voters were never concerned about truth and facts, so they wont start now. They eat this shyt up.
I mean, we've seen how a vocal minority of allegedly Black members and mods buy into this silly shyt here. We can imagine how it resonates with angry whites in the real world.
Not only will it not discourage illegal immigration, it will not discourage people from sending remittances abroad. Just some Fox News headline shyt .
Sometimes but I usually don't send money but might send a crate with items (TV's, washing machines, childrens clothes, medicines) practical things. Money will usually be sent back for things like funerals, health problems etc.
I don't send this they talk about needing to build a house

mom has been doing this for 30+ years, her brother ended up marrying multiple wives and having one kid after another. He passed away and now those kids who have families of their own expect to be taking care of it too. Endless cycle. They never called to say thank you, just non stop phone calls at night when a payment is late.
