In a move that’s stirring up conversation, U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest proposal could change how migrant workers send money home 💸. The plan, part of a budget bill under discussion in Congress, aims to tax funds transferred from the U.S. to support families overseas.
This measure is seen as part of a broader crackdown on migrants in the U.S. and could have far-reaching implications. For many young people in South and Southeast Asia, remittances are a lifeline—just like in many communities where earning and sending money back home plays a crucial role in everyday life.
Reports by CGTN Correspondent Alasdair Baverstock from rural Mexico highlight how the proposed tax might reshape financial support systems for migrant families. While details are still unfolding, the policy is sparking heated debates on fairness and economic impact in an increasingly globalized world.
Stay tuned for more updates as discussions in Congress progress and voices across the globe chime in on this developing story 🌏.
