Red Card Guest Worker Pilot Program and New Nationwide Remittance Tax.
This Act establishes a 5-year pilot program for temporary foreign workers in the private sector, contingent on the completion of the southern border wall. It mandates that employers must first advertise jobs to US citizens and pay guest workers equally or better. A significant consequence for all citizens is the introduction of a 10% tax on all money transfers sent abroad (remittances).
Key points
A new 10% tax is imposed on all money transfers (remittances) sent out of the United States, regardless of the sender.
The guest worker program will only start after the physical construction of the southern border wall is completed.
Employers must advertise jobs to US citizens for 60 days before hiring a foreign worker through this program.
Foreign workers are subject to strict oversight and face immediate removal if unemployed for more than 30 days.
