How do you think the New US President will affect Retrogression?

Published

It is so hard to wait. I have been watching the news but I really don't get to hear what are their plans for nurse immigrants. As an observer I think Barrack Obama will win. I just hope that something really positive pops up as the new president assumes office. Please share your views on this matter. Thanks:D

Why would the president listen to an educated fool like Lou Dobbs? Lou Dobbs is no good. He does not support the president in no way or form. He always talk about minorities in a condescending manner and I hope and pray that he will be able to chose the color of his caregiver at all times because we always know where we are coming from but life has a way to clip our wings on the route to success. He has no mercy for the cane cutters much less the nurses. Lou Dobbs needs to be taught a lesson from God.

Amen! I was born here in the USA and it hurts me to see people using a paint brush to plaster all illegal immigrants here. Some of these people work verey hard. If Obama has no time for retrogression, he will provide a passage for some illegals to be permanent residents here. I hope and pray that something works out for them. There are many illegal immigrants who are nurses here too and the passage to permanent residency will help them.

I have to agree Kaplan on what you said. I know some people know it's harder for a nurse to work here under the table than it is for an unskilled worker to work under the table. But both are very possible. I don't have a problem with immigration because my family migrated to the US from Cuba, but I do believe that we can't let everyone in the door. There has to be limited immigration. Retrogression has slowed the process.

Hopefully this guy will be the new President in 4 more years and he will be trying to put America back together after Obama totally ruins America.

I'm not sure if you know, but when using wikipedia, you can actually go in there and change information. It's not a very reliable source, I myself just found this out recently. There's nothing left for Obama to ruin as Bush has ruined everything!

My issue with foreign nurses sending money home is several reasons, if I gift my American children $10,001 my kids have to pay taxes on my that I already paid taxes yet, foreign nurses send money home. Not only is this money not spent in the USA it is not taxed again. Every time I travel outside the USA I am asked if I have over $10,000 in cash, so I am assuming I would have to declare this if I left with this amount.

Slow down your roll G.

:D

If you transfer more than 10,000 outside the USA there is a fee for it.

If you carry more than 10,000 outside the USA there is a tarriff/tax/port fee/duty on it (terms vary from one country to another).

So basically your argument is baseless. Your gift to your children is taxed from the recipient side, the immigrant's gift home is taxed on the sender side when it is over the same amount.

Additionally, most immigrant workers are not sending that level of funds since they have to live in the USA too there are not massive stacks of money being hoarded as you imagine in the above scenario.

Immigrants spend a lot of money here and the mere presence of more people working generates more jobs for others.

Trickle up economy is the only way to build a strong foundation for the system in America because we've all seen that trickle down economy doesn't work.

Trickle up means that you expand and empower the working class (which healthcare workers such as nurses fit into) and it generates more jobs below for those unskilled laborers and then generates profits upward. The expanding economic structure generates a better lifestyle for everyone.

Besides, if a nurse earns her money, shouldn't he/she get to decide how it is spent? What is the difference between a nurse sending $1,000 home to help her family and you sending a $1,000 check to a humanitarian aid organization? Most of the money ends up outside the USA at the end of the day.

Unless, of course, you only donate to charities that help America and believe that the USA should be an isolated nation... but I strongly doubt that is your intent... I just want you to think about the full impact of what you are saying.

:bow: Wow! You said it, right on the Dot! Good Explanation! :yeah:

So, how do you find "Balut" and "Dinuguan"? :wink2:

No problem, thanks for the accolade. :nuke:

I ate balut a couple of times, I found it to be very tasty but a little... odd in texture. Unfortunately I later discovered that it is forbidden by my religion.

The same with dinuguan as I can eat neither blood nor pork.

My favorite casual foods to grab on the street are yema, polverone and crispy fried chicken skin!

I do like most pinoy food I've tried, though sinigang is too much sour for me and my family here has had to really adjust for my taste.

I really really love dalandan, I wish I could send bushels to my friends in the States.. like the best orange cousin ever!

I am confused how does the work, how does the IRS collect there fees overseas? I know there is a fee for wiring money but that goes to Western Union or whoever the broker is.

My gift to my children if I has $10,001 to give them is taxed when I get paid and taxed again when my child declares on their income. I guess I have to tell them to move out of the USA and I can wire them all the money I wish since there will be no way for the IRS to collect their money.

I just spoke to my son who worked for seven years at a grocery store, here in the USA kids have to work and go to school at the same time.And he graduated with honors. He said when someone had more than $10K they would split the payments up to the same sendered.

The transfer broker is responsible for reporting such transfers to the IRS, just as are branks, brokerages and other financial institutions.

Fees are collected by taxes paid on the money earned in the US when the person gets their paycheck. There are not additional fees on it, other than the fees to transfer it to the other country. There is not a special fee when money is taken out of the US either, just that is needs to be reported to the federal government and a special form obtained to carry it out of the US. But most are never going to be carrying that sum of money in cash.

Most of the time, the money is sent by Western Union or wire transfer and in much smaller amounts, usually in the neighborhood of $500 at a time, or even less.

Those that send money out of the country still get taxed on it when they get their paychecks, just as if it were being spent here.

Some countries have a tax agreement. I know when we looked at the US and money we could transfer large amounts and the banks had to notify IRS but we didn't have to pay tax on it as already paid in the UK

It isn't always the IRS that collects the fees directly, sometimes it is customs that collects the fees and sometimes it is foreign bodies which collect the fees.

I'm just saying that the net result is the same whether you are giving a gift of more than 10K that is taxed or someone sends more than 10K overseas, the net amount is still reduced by either US or foreign government agencies.
