If a new U.S. administration blocks the flow of remittances -- the estimated $20 billion that Mexicans working in the U.S. send home each year -- then joint efforts to stop money laundering and other illicit forms of finance will be dealt a dangerous setback, a senior Mexican official warned Thursday.

There were 265 comments at the LAT site when I read this story earlier.

About 9-1 in favor of stopping the remittances, telling Mexico to F off and building the wall.

Trump is going to win in a landslide.

Yes. 100% tax on any illegal money leaving the country.

Confiscation.

Returning to the Treasury for services rendered.

Fox is the EX-President. He needs to be ignored.

Polk was a great president but should have kept Mexico when he conquered it.

I stand corrected. Actually, with a little thought the list of wonderful attributes becomes frighteningly long: Disease-ridden, drunk driving, net tax consuming, and on and on. I think Mexico’s real fear isn’t the loss of money—it’s that all the scumbags they encourage to come up here will head back home to plague Mexico once again.
