Though President Trump said he would block money transfers to Mexico to fund a much-needed border wall, Mexicans in the U.S. sent a record $33.48 billion in remittances last year and a big chunk of it flowed through a government program operated by the Federal Reserve....Uncle Sam facilitates the process with a program called "Directo a Mexico" (Direct to Mexico), launched by the Federal Reserve, the government agency that serves as the nation’s central bank, more than a decade ago.

Heh. The money quote. Almost, if not, literally.
“Uncle Sam facilitates the process with a program called “Directo a Mexico” (Direct to Mexico), launched by the Federal Reserve, the government agency that serves as the nation’s central bank, more than a decade ago.

Wiring monies to rogue nations is a Federal felony.
Declare Mexico a rogue nation.
Why is Trump the only one not allowed to have a pen and a phone?
All taxes originate in HOR. The president does not have that power.
