Foreign ministers of Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador and Honduras met this week to address concerns about President-elect Trump's plan to deport illegals, mostly those with criminal records. Their goal: Calm the fears of illegals, help them avoid deportation, and keep the flood of money they send home going.
Mexico and Guatemala announced plans to expand immigration services at their dozens of offices in the United States.

Best way for President Elect Trump to deal with illegals in the US is:
a) US will pass law forbidding employers to hire illegal immigrants and giving those caught doing so substantial fines.
b) The nations of origins of any illegal immigrant caught in the USA will be billed for the full cost of detaining/deporting/transporting that individual back to their nation of origin, including any minor children they may have had in the US, including the full costs of educating, feeding and housing those children (if paid by the state). If the nation does not pay—any foreign aid suspended, embassy personnel expelled, UN reps expelled, etc.
c) The US Government will suspend any federal aid to any state/municipal/private institutions that “give sanctuary” to illegal immigrants and will prosecute any public officials that advocate violating the laws of the US.
(FYI, apparently the 23 billion # represents legal & illegal US residents sending $ to Mexico. There’s also speculation on whether this tax could spur more bitcoin transactions. I highly disbelieve this as I just can’t picture poor people in Mexico redeeming their bitcoins. Perhaps in the larger cities or even for illegal trade, ie drugs, weapons, etc. tho: https://localbitcoins.com/country/MX.

There was a 4.75% increase in money sent from abroad, most of which comes from the U.S., to total US $24.8 billion last year, up from $23.6 billion in 2014, said the Bank of México.
The bank said it was the first time remittances had totaled more than petroleum revenues since it began tracking them in 1995.
Oil revenues last year totaled $23.4 billion

Remittances, mostly from expatriates living in the United States, are Mexico’s second-largest source of foreign exchange after oil exports and help cover living expenses for millions of households.

EXCELLENT idea. Send it along to President-elect Trump!
Knowing lawyers there will be quibbling over loot the wealth, welfare, which government and mutual consent, ad nauseum.
All true but then what would the spoiled Americans do when they had to PAY a gardener's social security, unemployment, etc., and WHO would take care of the abandoned-by-working-mommy children? No cheap Mexican gardeners or nannies? What would their world come to!?
There already is a labyrinth of tunnels under the borders at many points.
Are DOGS a solution? Our southern border is porous because the cheap Mexican labor is VERY attractive to American employers. WHO else would pick all the fruit, vegetables and cotton for pennies on the peso? Who else would be a 24/7 nanny for next to nothing?
Well, our present POTUS is useless.
I remember the time he met the Japanese ambassador. He bowed to the ambassador as if HE were the "inferior" and NOT the POTUS. Humiliating...and all Japan probably saw rerun after rerun of him "over-bowing." Absurd. Trump wouldn't do that.
How about the residents who can get citizenship who already get bunches of money through welfare and disability who send money to Mexico to pay for their retirement ranch in some other country?
I know a couple of folks doing that.
90% know how to play the system.
Wow. He won’t stop it all. But, I pray he stops a good portion of it.
No way, I wouldn’t trust them. Probably sabotage the project
Pay US workers. Our people want jobs anyway.
I can just picture the MSM blasting him for hypocrisy over that.
14 B is just from illegals. Total of both legal and illegal equals 23 B.
By requiring a SS card and govt issued photo ID, one should be able to see who is here legally. Use a higher money transfer fee for those who are wiring $ to specific countries.
Reagan Shakes hands with Japanese emperor
Don’t know how to post pics
It seems like collecting data on these remittances would provide great leads for ICE to track down illegals. How many actual Americans have ever used Western Union or other wire transfer services to send money overseas a few hundred dollars at a time ? For most actual Americans it is probably very rare or in large business-related amounts.
Money earned through criminal activity is theirs by right of fairness? Please think about what you wrote.
Also, block all visas from those countries (though given that most of the illegals can just flood across the border without bothering to get a visa, most of the countries wouldn’t care about that).
Whew! I didn't know that. THANKS for in correct information.
NO ONE would come here from ANYwhere south of our border unless they KNEW that jobs were waiting for them. It's OUR fault that they are here. For the CAUSE of the problem we need only look in the mirror.
Solution? Do our own work or hire fellow Americans...and stop being stingy with them.
You can go online to Google for information on HTML posting online. You must keep a little file on those pics that you want to post, I believe. I USED to post pics but have stopped.
VERY true, an EXCELLENT idea.
I BET that ICE already knows exactly who is here and why. Our foreign workers already are "legion."
