  • I have a better idea. Why don't we slap a 40% federal tax on Western Union transfer's south of the border. If they're going to come to this country and to be parasites they can at least pay something in taxes like the rest of us. Or how about using this money to fund or augment removing them from our country.

    One of these days we are going to ask ourselves why we are kowtowing to criminals. We could have the greatest minds and skilled professionals all over the world the best and brightest. Instead immigration quotas are being used by vermin the jump to the head of the line
