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.
Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, has vowed, if elected, to make Mexico pay to build a wall along the entire southwest border, even if it means impounding remittance payments.

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.
don’t block them, tax them
What, they’re going to withhold illegal aliens, maybe illegal drugs transfers? What? What does that corrupt turd-world nation have that we need??
“remittances” ....and foreign aid stopped. use the cash to deport illegals and FIX border security.
stay safe ...
What are they going to do about it, invade our country? Oh, wait...
So the money is illegally obtained.>>>> all of it should be confiscated. that will send them back. Here the government is stealing peoples property for a turtle.
Trump has to sit down with Fox and have a serious discussion about our options.>>>> Fox is a worthless pile of crap. he is ex president which means he has cashed all of the checks we sent while president
And that attitude brings up the subject of NAFTA! Keep it up, Fox. Guess you never heard about when you’re in a deep hole you should stop digging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes. 100% tax on any illegal money leaving the country.
Confiscation.
Returning to the Treasury for services rendered.
Call it what ever you want.
Sacrifices have to be made.
Fox is the EX-President. He needs to be ignored.
i guess the 250 million we give them a year isn’t enough
Trump has to sit down with Fox and have a serious discussion about our options.
Why? Fox isn’t the President, Nieto is. Screw Fox.
Polk was a great president but should have kept Mexico when he conquered it.
What will they do? Stop sending us illiterate halfwits?
Hey BEANERS; FU#K YOU.
How bout we kill every worthless wetback that tries crossing our border.
We will be sure to send the corpses back to you via catapult.
That would be illiterate, rapeing, thieving, murdering, halfwits.
Foment Mexican supported terrorism in the U.S.?
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.
