You do not get to allow millions to enter illegally, park them in states that are losing populations, just because Democrats don't want to lose house seats and they like their servant class

Plenty of ways to work in the USA legally. Not to mention legal migration.

Nope. Not having it. Illegals use welfare, healthcare, school resources and abuse all kinds of programs.

I have bank accounts in two other countries outside the US. Many foreign businesses have bank accounts here as well. Being an American, I guess I've never looked into domestic banking laws concerning immigrants holding bank accounts, but this appears to create more problems with legitimate account holders than it solves.

ETA: It also sorta flies in the face of the foreign investment visas that the administration is peddling. "Come do business in this country, just make sure you send the proceeds back to your own banks because you can't bank here!"

For the life of me I have no idea why we aren't taxing remittances at 36% yet.

That's a nice step but, go after wired funds back to 3rd world countries and watch self deportation rise like an atom bomb cloud!

Anti-immigrant hysteria is real. Do you think that all immigrants can be eliminated? Immigrants are an integral part of America, like it or not. It’s been considered to be an overwhelmingly positive aspect of our society. Until recently(2016).. .


You are something else.

Most people have never had any issues with LEGAL immigration.

Not sure why that pesky little aspect is so evidently difficult for Dems like yourself to grasp anymore.

Illegals are integral, being a massive drain on resources, along with creating all sorts of other problems. They are not a net positive.

Legal minds (not you SloMo), is this legal?


My 2 cents

Congress could pass a law allowing President to do this. Lets see what basis the Administration uses to crackdown?

And would/could the law/basis apply to state chartered banks in addition to federal banks.

Did you see the post about prop 187?

Citizens have been voting on policies regarding immigration for much longer than 2016!

California voted on prop 187 to deny public services to illegal immigrants back in 1994.

Trump is just the first president to listen to the citizens of this country.

Well, that's a fricking lie.

Obama is still the Deportation GOAT.

Immigration has been a contentious issue going back to Reagan's first term.

At least.

I’ve explained this to a few people in person. They are usually surprised. ANY illegal can go to the social security office with their passport or paperwork and apply for a tax ID #. They call it a TIN. They then can use this to receive 1099’s, pay taxes, open bank accounts, open LLC’s, get state business licenses. Just about anything. They do have a hard time getting drivers licenses. (at least here in Louisiana) If they want to buy a car they usually drive over to Texas and pay ridiculous interest rates for crap vehicles. Or they get their American boss to buy the vehicle and they pay the note.
I’ve seen a few with real drivers licenses. They usually say Arizona or California.
They also buy their work comp and General liability insurance from Texas while living in Louisiana because it’s much cheaper
Once last thing, since I’ve already rambled
You do not need to be licensed or insured to roof in the state of Texas. I mean no checks and balances. Louisiana requires workers comp, general liability and a state license and most cities require that you pull a permit to replace a roof or even build a fence.

Provide evidence that illegal immigration is an integral part of America? The system was doing just fine allowing up to a million legal immigrants a year and absorbed the illegals who snuck in but not the fricking 10-15 million in a four year coordinated effort ..

The cards that they are issued look just like social security cards except they are a red instead of the normal blue/green we receive

Not all.


Just the illegal ones.
