The White House is planning on targeting the tens of billions of dollars in "remittance payments" sent by illegal immigrants back to their home countries, in the wake of an ongoing migrant flood at the U.S. Southern border, a senior administration official told reporters Tuesday.
The plans to target remittance payments come amid a broader shakeup at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and future executive actions designed to curb illegal immigration. The situation at the southern border has escalated in recent weeks, with thousands of migrants arriving daily to claim asylum.
Officials say the illegal arrivals are spurred by loopholes in U.S. immigration law that allow family units claiming asylum to arrive illegally and still be released into the interior of the country with a work permit.
The migrants are then given a court date at some point in the future to adjudicate the asylum claim, with the vast majority failing to ultimately get a favorable asylum ruling. These migrants rarely show up for deportation, with the senior administration official calling the practice backdoor illegal immigration.
Potential plans against remittances could follow one or all of anti-illegal immigration group BorderPAC's recomendations:

Good. This is the way to stop people from coming here. If they cant send money home theres no reason to come
And as Trump promised..Mexico will pay for the wall
It is about time.
Ive been thinking on that.. I think Trump had to put a lot on hold because on the bs Collusion investigation Basically the lawyers told him the best thing is don’t get too controversial
I think with the end of that his hands are untied now... we are about to get the Full Trump
Will the new ones are here legally by claiming asylum but the recoding ones that never go to court will get snagged. Maybe also have them alert ice when they show up to transfer money.
Now this may get their attention.
Perhaps its also time to start ignoring the orders of inferior judges who have been judge-shopped to illegally prevent Trump from exercising his constitutional presidential powers.
So what Obama appointed judge will rule this unconstitutional?
These judges must be ignored, they gave no authroity to stop the president doing his comstitutional job and using legitimare powers.
The fees and taxes from “remittances” should be used to build the border wall. It would also honor the Trump campaign promise that Mexico would pay for the wall.
Our boy a fighter
talking about this sunday night with my bro.
to issue detail regulations under 31 CFR § 130.120-121 that would block remittance payments to Mexico from unauthorized immigrants.>>> i didn’t look at the cite but i would guess there are ofac requirements as well.
Yes, but it should be taxed at 100%....
It is about time.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You said it.
Why not two years ago?
Sounds reasonable and 40 years late.
Watch how incredibly fast mexico responds. Followed by a judge declaring it illegal.
As I said on the other earlier thread (post #65)...”Good luck with that...judge will slap down within hours”. Tax would work but requires Congress...fee MIGHT work via EO but some judge probably kills that too.

For “on the ball with tech” illegals, there is always Cryptocurrency transfers like the Venezuelans are using to salvage their savings from runaway inflation.
15-25% tax on all cash remittances to targeted countries
Ban on any remittances to Mexico, other nations, if sender cannot prove they are a U.S. citizen or legal resident
Temporary halt to all remittances to Mexico until that government halts caravans and enforces border controls to U.S.
Maybe the President does read the comments of Free Republic
Great moves. All taxes go to border wall and enforcement.
You bet.
FINALLY!!! FINALLY!!!! FINALLY!!!
Maybe the President reads the comments on FR.
Some have commented that they’ll just find another way to get the money back home. They mention mail. How long will it take before the Mexican mailman starts going through all the packages, thinking there’s money in them. You won’t be able to send shoelaces down there.
If they go through some type of cyber-service, someone will figure out a way to fill that niche. Someone will also find a way to rob them blind.
As much as I would love to see all of them gone, taking away Birthright Citizenship and ALL REFUGEE STATUS (back dated about 20 years)(for somalians I say back date it to October 3, 1993 completely and without excuses) and all their benefits, just making their lives uncomfortable and annoying will make a very significant number of them leave. They’re used to coming here, popping out a kid and using the kid to get all the benefits. The father/husband becomes a laborer and they’re actually doing ok for themselves.
They come here, as the politicians say, for a better life. The statement should read, A better life where they don’t have to do sh*t and the US taxpayer pays the bills.
End that cycle and it all ends.
