I think Trump (if elected...) should do what Obama does: issue Executive Order and then hurry up to implement the EO.
As we've seen with Obama, he has a history of issuing EO's and rushing to implement them knowing the courts take anywhere from 2-4 years to stop him (which they've done almost every single time.)
Still, that's two years minimum of mass deportations and taking our country back.

No, it isn't. It's money being wired out of the country. Trump wants to seize that. Where's the due process? Where's the guilty in a court of law verdict?
This is asset forfeiture.

He needs to just tax the remittance money at 20% and pay for the wall with it.

Why not? They already impound the cash of U.S. Citizens if they catch you walking around with more than they think you should have.

I have no problem with the government seizing the assets of criminal illegal invaders.
Me neither. And I have no problem with the government seizing the assets of some mule driving down the interstate with $75,000 in cash that he can't/won't account for.

Seems it would be easier to just require a valid SSN to send money out of the country that isn’t bank-to-bank, and then impose hefty fines to the transfer companies if they don’t verify the id of the sender. But like immigration laws themselves, it would have to be enforced to have any effect.

I have no problem with Executive Actions/Orders that repeal Obamacare, deport all illegals, and institute a flat tax for starters.
Identifying all registered DemocRATS as criminals would be a good start to the second day.

"To some Americans, Mexican workers remittance payments represent a fundamentally unjust financial transfer. While $22 billion to $30 billion is a drop in the bucket for the $17 trillion U.S. economy, its a matter of principle for these folks. In their eyes, illegal immigrants from Mexico effectively steal from the United States by entering the country, offering unethical employers a labor force that isnt covered by wage, workplace safety, and other laws, getting paid under the table, and then sending the money out of the country. " "some Americans"- Of course those Americans don't include National Review. They purged the magazine of border patriots years ago.

This is asset forfeiture.
We're all gonna suffer a little or a lot in the coming days.
And, yes, the subject (target) of all this IS (only) illegals.
I'm not sure why you are so up in arms over this point.

Actually, I'm not. I'm FOR asset forfeiture. But every time I bring up this point, I'm usually shouted down by the many libs here at FR.

"Whatever their economic impact, the payments are widespread: An estimated 83 percent of Mexicans who enter the country illegally send money home. But so do 73 percent of legal Mexican immigrants
making a blanket restriction on remittances virtually impossible."
ding, ding, ding, WRONG. The government places all kinds of restrictions on foreign remittances for citizens and legal residents alike. Try sending a wire transfer to certain banks in Belize. This is completely doable.

And there we have it. This is asset forfeiture. Pure and Simple. Funny how the libertarians who moan and groan at this practice are apparently fine when Trump proposes it. I see your point, on the other hand I consider it asset forfeiture of legal American taxpayers when the illegals siphon off our tax dollars and transfer them to southern border countries instead of infusing them back into the American economy. And those American dollars are of the major concern to those foreign governments, not the plight of their citizens.

Sorry, you were not clear enough today in these few posts.
Well, I'm all for voluntary asset forfeiture, as in the year of Jubilee, but not forced forfeiture by any USA government ON ITS LEGAL CITIZENRY.
Legal citizens.

Just make a 10% fee for any remittance. They can try to get around it at their peril.

How does this seizure of money DIFFERENTIATE between Mexicans who are here LEGALLY, Mexicans who have become American citizens and Mexicans who are illegal? Seems to me as simple as the one thing liberals hate the most...........documentation!

All President Trump has to do with the illegals who have jobs here, but are NOT AMERICAN CITIZENS (yet) is pay them in script, which they can collect in pesos at the border on their way back home(to Mexico). That would settle the problem in a hurry!@!!!@@@!!!
