Unfortunetly, it won't work. All that will happen is that legal people will start taking fees to wire money on behalf of others.

Well, make that illegal enforce the law then you say? Well sure. But we don't enforce immigration laws now, so there is no reason to expect that this law will be enforced either.

Exactly. It's more important to remove real incentives (like free social services) than to stop them from directly sending back money they earned while working here illegally.

(Rodney K, Not exactly...)

What it may do is identify points of origin (those storefronts) that are violating the law...Thats where you start coming down on them...

Like you, I do agree that all of this will be hard to enforce...Then again, when has there been a real push to take care of the dynamics of this problem/issue in the first place...

If anything I like what the mere proposal of a law like this does...

Its like that arcade games that have the little gophers spring up for you to try and hit them on the head with the mallet...They don't stay up too long before you lose your chance to bop them...Whats fun is to see who exactly are the ones that pop up real quick then duck before too much attention gets paid to them...

The foreign "gophers" tend to stay up above radar a little longer than the domestic ones...They do it with impunity...

Those are your government officials, border pimps, and others that directly benefit from these tranfers...

I think its easy to write a law like this...

But like you say its going to be hard to enforce...Unless you really write it up and implement it correctly and swiftly, not allowing the people who would attempt to adjust to the law a chance to exploit any loopholes or other avenues that you may not have foreseen...

But this is just my opinion...

Later,

That person would be guilty of money laundering. Besides making a lot of transfers OUGHT to raise a red flag anyway.
