Sounds like a great idea, but I wonder how long it would take a judge to slap an injunction on the process?

They wanted to know. Now they know so they can shut up.

Since its already legal to do what he says a Judge has no basis to stop it and could be impeached for trying.

with $200,00, half here and half in Mexico anybody can go in the business.

The illegal gives me $100 and my friend in mexico gives the mother $85. When needed, my buddy and I settle accounts via a wire transfer through a Panamanian bank

It would be so easy to get in this business it is ridiculous

What happens if Mexico says NO?

Do we still get the wall and who pays for? Are we going to just take that transfer money and tax it? That would just DRY IT UP. Mexico would wait us out. The money would find it's way to Mexico by other means than by wire transfer. Storefront operations would be set up to move the money. The Mexicans are clever people. They would find a way.

Just more Trump handwaving.

Couldn’t they just buy a pre-paid Visa and mail it?

However, if he sends the illegals back, there won’t be any wire transfers to block. So is he saying that he’s not going to send them back?

The cartels are likely salivating at the possibility of being involved in what you describe.

“How does the poor schlub at Western Union know know his customer is legal?”

Wouldn’t matter. The tax would be on the destination of the wire transfer. Wouldn’t matter if it was you sending money to bail your daughter out of a jam.

some time back we went to a new Mex eaterie said to be really really good. We got there and it was closed but were told it would open soon. so, we hung around. it was Friday

We got a table and ordered . It took a good while to produce the meal because employees came drifting in

I noticed a series of workmen coming in and going behind the screen and coming out with a piece of paper. I asked the now present English speaking waitress what’s up. They had a fax machine used to purchase a Mexico Federal lottery ticket. The ticket was purchased by a person in Mexico at the other end and faxed back. The winning numbers are posted in readily accessible Mexican news papers

Buying payday lottery tickets apparently is a cultural norm

i live in a rather small city with not a lot of Mexicans

I'm assuming that this is based on some claimed national security threat else the FISA court would laugh.

So what happens when Mexico says "OK, here's the money?" Do we let the remittances resume, thus making it clear that the claimed threat was a sham? If not, what's Mexico's incentive to negotiate?
