“...threaten to stop the one way Western Union telegraphing of money from here to Mexico.”
McLeod’s is a huge peach farm in McBee SC with a fresh peach/veggie store & ice cream parlor. They ship peaches all over the USA. We visit GOING & COMING on Myrtle Beach trips. We love the place...peach cobbler and vanilla ice cream, yummm.
A local radio station did a segment on the “labor” that works the farm. A couple hundred H-2A immigrant field hands/packers. The farm owners provide transportation to/from Mexico, room & board, a soccer field, and pays $10.50 per hour. The laborers work 6 months, and earn about $30,000.
One of the laborers was interviewed and said the money is sent to Mexico to allow their family members to live well.
Yeh well all the illegals send money back too. No taxes, not SS paid in no medicare paid in. So you stop them from sending the money back and Mexico will shape up fast and start securing their own border. Legal immigrants have ID that they can use to send money back.
Well then, McLeod’s can send it for them. Solves that problem.
