Here’s an idea!

 Al Ritter


It won’t be very popular with builders or landscape contractors but it would save the taxpayer billions of dollars maybe even trillions in deportation costs.

Passed into law under President Ronald Reagan the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 was signed and put into law.

Every President after sought to reinforce this Act with stricter wording. During Obama’s tenure the wording came down harder than ever. By Executive Actions, he increased I-9 audits, increased employer fines, and pushed for the E-Verification system which focused more on employer accountability.

While I-9 audits rose to a record high under Obama (8000) only minimal numbers of fines were assessed under Obama and even less every President since.

The question that begs an answer….”Why isn’t this law reintroduced and fines given?” The law is already there and the fines can be extensively high, so why not enforce them?

If the employers are fined for illegal hiring practices and illegals can no longer find work, they will self deport.

When will the 501C’s be Reigned in?

 Al Ritter


We have seen the massive violations of the NGO’s, classified as “Non-Governmental Organizations.”

All these so called NGO’s are under the umbrella of the IRS as non-profit organizations otherwise known as 501c’s.

If ANY of these so called non-profits are receiving governmental funding they should immediately lose their 501c status.

This should be a non-starter, especially those who receive 100% governmental funding through either shell companies or ANYthing tied to a political operation. It shouldn’t matter for which side of the isle they are representing.

Let’s just look at this for what it is, it’s called money laundering plain and simple.

The Government gives them money and the principles of that organization use it as administrative fees and the taxpayer suffers the consequences.

My question is….President Trump, when will you direct the IRS to not only investigate these 501c’s but actually revoke their statuses as non-profits? Let’s cut off the money supply!

Congress needs to change this immediately! If the IRS can approve them, then why can’t they revoke them easily, unless they refuse to file reports in 3 years?

If you want to see how difficult this process is just look here:

Remittances and what it means to the American Economy

Al Ritter


I’ve long been a proponent of taxing remittances. Foreign workers whether in the country legally or not have been depleting our resources for decades.

Most of these workers come from poor countries that offer little in the way of wages, so being an American worker even if paid sub-standard wages here, makes them more money than if they stayed in their home country.

Remittances are wages they earn here and then send back to family members in their home country. This is money that will NEVER return to the United States, never to be spent here to bolster OUR country’s economy.

In a recent article by left leaning Yahoo, they claim that the “Big Beautiful Bill” has already devastated third world countries by eliminating the fraudulently corrupt USAID, and taxing remittances will only make things worse.

I suppose it depends on whether you think our country should be propping up third world countries first, or we should be serving our citizens first. The answer to that was decided by 77 million Americans last November.

Just look at the remittances sent back to Mexico in 2021! $52 BILLION! That’s 4 years ago folks! What do you think that figure is now going back to Mexico?

IMO 3.5% is a joke of a tax on remittances, but it is a start

Why are we even having this discussion?

Al Ritter


It seems that Rep. Maxine Waters didn’t learn a thing from Rep, Lemonica Ivery’s arrest in Newark NJ for assaulting an ICE officer at an immigration center.

If anything it has emboldened the Democratic members of Congress to continually break the law. Waters claimed she was only doing her job as Congressional oversight. What they always fail to mention is a visit to an Immigration Detention Center has to be scheduled in advance and has to be applied for specific members and not just an out of control mob pounding at the gates.

It seems that Maxine tried barging her way into a Federal Building to check on the detention of another illegal alien in Los Angelos.

The left seems to want to frame this whole issue as..”Even if they are illegally and have committed no additional crimes they should be allowed to stay.” The situation goes much deeper than that, the basis of why they are here in the first place is based on felony of illegally entering our country.

The left also believes that these illegal aliens are somehow entitled to all of our (the actual citizens) rights under the law. They also believe that these illegals are entitled to monetary benefits that should only be rightfully given to its citizens.

This is a powder keg waiting to explode. The citizens who have paid their entire lives into the system are rightfully furious with the Democrats.

The Dems are claiming once again how it is a peaceful protest, but it’s funny how blurred the lines are between protest and riot in their eyes…….setting cars on fire is NOT protest!

They elected a man who promised to fix this broken system and restore America to Americans first, not some people who are falsely using the words “asylum seekers.”
