The cargo and commercial flights carried millions of U.S. greenbacks in suitcases, containers and money bags from Mexico to Texas, and then to Miami International Airport, on a routine schedule.
From there, authorities say, the money was laundered by two Mexican businessmen through a Miami-Dade check-cashing company that used the dollars to cash the payroll checks of undocumented workers at local supermarkets.
It was all part of a Mexican-Miami bulk-cash network that federal agents say may be funded by drug profits south of the U.S. border.
On Tuesday, Martin Diaz and Enrique Guerra, arrested earlier this month, appeared before a federal magistrate on charges of conspiring to launder U.S. dollars to “harbor illegal aliens’’ in this country.

Legalize money laundering then tax the hell out of it.
No we can’t, because that would be discriminating against the undocumented immigrants who just do the jobs Americans don’t want to do, and obstruct the flow of low cost labor that our political leaders and business interests have so carefully cultivated. This is what the government and business tell me, so it must be true!.

===============================================
REFERENCE It was recently revealed that US Senator Robert Menendez (Democrat-NJ)---using US govt authority and resources---acted to discourage plans by the United States government to donate port security equipment to the Dominican Republic to detect drug cargo.
Menendez cited concern that the advanced screening gear might undermine efforts by a private company — a company run by Menendez's major campaign contributor---a friend w/ dual residences in Miami and the Dominican Republic.
Menendez's intervention with the Department of Homeland Security came even though Mr. Menendez has publicly chastised the Obama administration for not doing more to combat the surging drug traffic moving through Dominican ports.
And it came shortly after the senator’s Miami friend, Dr. Salomon E. Melgen, arranged to meet with a senior State Dept official, accompanied by a former aide to Mr. Menendez........in a related push to protect his company's port security contract, which is worth as much as $500 million over 20 years.
“that used the dollars to cash the payroll checks of undocumented workers at local supermarkets. “
But, but they don’t cause ANY problems, they’re only here to work!!!
Give me a break! The BAD guys are facilitated by the so called good ones.
Amazing that the Mafia Government must know every dime in the bank and must wet it’s beak on every dollar that citizens exchange but the po’ oppressed illegal alien is never taxed nor penalized for stealing, rape or murder. It is TIME!
