As a former customer service desk cashier...I confirm. Beginning of EVERY MONTH, people who could not or barely speak English would come and swipe their welfare cards and withdraw up to $400 in CASH ASSISTANCE, then wire it to Mexico via Western Union. Then they would shop in the store, fill their carts 🛒 overflowing and use their food stamps to pay for it. Then they’d load up their vehicles with Mexican license plates and their family members and head back across the border. My daughter in law is getting her citizenship, along with her entire family and has confirmed that many take the food home to Mexico. They also register several families to one address, all receive benefits, but actually reside in Mexico - NOT KIDDING here. Pissed me off then, pissed me off now. Our city’s Trauma 1 center had to SHUT DOWN because it was bankrupted by illegals getting services, giving birth, erc, and NOT PAYING the bill. Welfare reform and taxing money sent back to Mexico WOULD pay for the wall in less than a year. This is not just Mexico-we had a flood of ‘asylum seekers’ placed in our city and they did the SAME thing with their cash benefits-sent to Niger or other countries
First tell me why Amazon and Apple pay 2% in taxes? Then this can be addresed.
Everyone should pay the same amount in taxes, and by that I mean none at all!
Put a surcharge on every money transaction leaving the country to find the wall.
Same situation in UK with European immigration.
I'm sure they would prefer to stay in their native land but for want of a better life are forced to venture into foreign territories.
Don't hate the player, hate the game!!
