Works for me. In fact I’d support turning off the welfare for illegals and they will self deport.
Sounds like a no brainer
Great idea. Many countries have restrictions on transferring wealth out of the country.
Should be 20%. 2% only makes sense if you identify the senders, determine immigration status...then confiscate the assets of and deport the illegals.
Contract a private company to collect it for a fee to the Fed government...otherwise a new organization will have to be built...I.e., more government oversight and more Dem voters.
Seize 100% of remittances to Mexico.
I’m sure this will become law. The GOPe is playing us again. They don’t want the wall.
Great! I remember I and others emailed the WH with this idea. Simple and effective, just a great idea.
Should be 10% minimum.
Other countries don;t like money fleeing their borders, so why should we?
Many times, no taxes were paid on the cash sent for remittances as the money was generated from under the table transactions.
This BBC program says that $27bn per year from US to Mexico

2% western Union and other transfers.
2% from Checks drawn abroad from U.S banks.
Confiscation of undeclared cash at the border and detected in the mail.
It’s not perfect as they’ve now created a market for illicit banking methods, but it will sure make waves and dissuade some.
20% with 2% going to illegal alien crime victim fund
Fun with numbers
If one assumes $130 billion in remittences and 11 million illegal aliens in America then each and every illegal alien is sending $12,700 per year home
Another proposal from a Freeper...Someone suggested this here several months ago.
They’ll cheat and lie and evade, and that 2% will turn into 0.02%. Two percent is not enough to get it done in four years, and Trump may only get one term. Take 50% and step up enforcement so that every penny is identified. Then build the biggest, most beautiful wall you can imagine, as promised. What better way to clinch a second term?
Perfecto
It won’t work, people will simply mail checks or cash. It appears vindictive and petty. Don’t do it.
Why only 2%? Why not 10-15% considering these are the people that aren’t paying taxes as they aren’t even legal? Hell, since illegals go to those places to send remittances, why not have ICE lying in wait at all these places and just have an off site facility to keep them after they are arrested and then deported? Win-WIN!
