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:

Let’s Roll and MAGA 2020!!
Goin’ for the throat
THIS will get EVERYONE’s attention
>>>Ban on any remittances to Mexico, other nations, if sender cannot prove they are a U.S. citizen or legal resident
Sounds like a great business opportunity. Just hang out at Western Union and send wires all day long at 10 bucks per wire.
Trump didn’t get to where he is in life sitting by the wayside...
He’s been hounded and hunted for 2 years... watch him go now that it’s finally shown what was going on.. he’s been waiting for this time.. and ain’t no body going to slow this man down!
He is no dummy and he’s no slouch and he’s no procrasinator... I’d bet he is going to let go all that pent up wait he’s been thru!!
and enjoy your decades in the federal slammer when caught
There is the money for the wall! Just like magic!
Mexicans are going to pay for the wall, just like Trump said!
9th Circuit Judge overturning in 3, 2, 1. .
Mitch, filling any and all 9th Circuit vacancies is Job 1.
And the tables have been turned... those who have been hell bent on destroying Trump, are going to meet their time for judgment and consequences.... we are going to end up feeling sorry for them...
Just kidding!
Hope this isn’t an empty threat and will be enforced immediately.
Which court will the dumbocraps use to stop this?
Must be reading FR.
I said “put a 50% tariff on Mexican money transfers and they’ll build the wall for us”
About time.....or put a 25% tariff to pay for the wall.....
WE here at FR first suggested exactly this..?
We’ve been screaming it for TEN YEARS..!
Watch how incredibly fast mexico responds. Followed by a judge declaring it illegal.
Let’s do it. It’s a great start.
First can Trump do this legally. I love it but is there a law that he can do this under? If so then the supremes can just overrule the 9th. Also the 9th should only cover the states in their area. Other courts could rule it’s ok. So no remittance from the South East or midwest.
Confiscation of illegal lying obtained funds. Make sure those trying to send money are investigated as to the source.
