Damn with those restrictions the price of tomatoes and jalapenos might go up 2 cents per pound!
And think of tomatillos! Sheeesh!
I grow my own tomatoes, and jalapenos as well as plenty other vegetables. In fact, I had such a bumper crop, I gave away pounds and pounds, made spice powders and know where it all comes from. No E.coli here!
Being in California, I know we are overrun with illegals, and they send a ton of money to Mexico. With few exceptions, the Mexican men here have a family here, and another in Mexico. Some have been here for 20 years illegally, yet, they have managed to bypass the border. They work under the table, mostly in construction,painting, landscaping, restaurant......
They are here, no doubt.
Now, it would be a tremendous task to round them up and get them all out, as they are a burden on the economy....It is a fact they take more than they give. Don't let any liberal tell you they are net benefit.....They are not.
So, in order to get some funds to build the wall and reduce the costs of illegals and stop them from coming here in the first place.......It is quite simple.
Any wire transfers, Western Union, Moneygram, et.al., to Mexico has an automatic 25% surcharge.
Boom! There you have billions.
Simple. Now, I don't like to put the burden on private enterprise, but, it needs to be done in this regard.
E verify. Employers in all businesses must verify their employees. And, the employers must bear the responsibilty, so there must be consequences if they don't. There will always be a black market, but, you have to go to common sense.....Any job should go to an American first.
Social services......I know for a fact that illegals get social services. How do I know? My girlfriend works for Social Services...
I hear the first hand accounts of people coming in illegally that get support where Americans don't.
Cut this off, and they will stop coming because they won't get a living....That is why they come.....They get taken care of by you and me.
If these simple measures are put into place, it will take years to see a significant change, but it will change.
For the better.
No more sanctuary cities or states......That is just ridiculous!
Give it five years of this "Immigration Austerity" and we start to get the country back and clean house.
One thing is sure.....You let the rest of the world dictate our policies and nation, we are going to split apart.....And that won't be pretty.
Let's do the SMART thing, for a change.
