[The legislation would] require any individual who electronically transmits money to a foreign country to be in the United States legally.

In other words, make more people have to come here illegally in order to survive? Much better than a man comes here illegally and leaves his wife and children behind. He can send money, and eventually will go back. We don't need to make laws that will make the entire family come.

This is a very poorly thought out idea. Much American money already goes to Mexico. There are large colonies of American retirees who live in Mexico, and collect SS and pensions. Lots of tourists go there as well, not to mention all the people who go there to buy prescription (and not) drugs.

The only way to stop illegal immigration is to have a way to do it legally - on our terms.
