Is it time to tax money sent back to Mexico?

Mexico receives billions and billions each year from Mexican's sending money back to families in Mexico.

I say it's time to levy a tax on this money.

It could pay for the Wall.

All these new lies from Trump that the base is so desperately trying to make it sound like that was the plan all along. Go collect it then spend it

The money sent back to Mexico does nothing to boost the US economy.

After oil exports, money sent back to Mexico is their 2d largest National Income Producer.

This way, Mexico does not have invest in any industries. They simply send people to work here, and Mexico reaps the profit of American entrepaneaurship and development.

I think 30 cents on the dollar would be about right.

They should have been taxed from the start.
The sad part is a large group of them have no ss# and work for cash.
I'm guilty as hell using them for moving.

Interesting discussion. So if I want to send money to a friend in, say, Germany, that money should be taxed? Money that has already been taxed?
I have had the same thought. Build the wall. Stop them from coming here to send money to Mexico. It is putting the money back in our economy not Mexico. It is like Mexico paying for the wall.
When a person comes here and uses the economy of the US to make money, and then does not spend that money here, yes it hurts the US economy.

Seems they can't make up their mind on taxes either. One minute they cry about taxes being horrible, next minute they propose them to pay for a wall we do not need!

I agree tax that shit.
Well, if the American employers did the right thing and hired them legally, and many don't (employers are a large part of the problem as they look for cheap labor), these non-citizens will have already paid income taxes and social security taxes on their meager earnings.
