I do not support Kaloogian's proposal. Securing the borders must be our first priority. Build the fence now to stop the invasion. Once the borders are secured and functional then address the untaxed, illegal money flow south. Enforcement of current immigration laws would greatly lessen the flow of that money....employers of illegals, etc.

LOL, Bagdad Bob the standup comedian!

B.B. quotes;
"They are sick in their minds. They say they brought 65 tanks into center of city. I say to you this talk is not true. This is part of their sick mind."

"We have destroyed 50 tanks today. That 5-ohhh tanks" [while holding up his fingers]

As I posted on another thread on a similar concept in Georgia, this is just like government to sneak in under the guise of 'doing something' about a problem it created with socialist policies.

I was initially for this, but then I realized that the solution of the problem is not submerging further underground millions of illegals. It's to get them the hell out. If lawmakers know that the illegals are using these places, WTF is stopping them from having cops stop in and check documents on Fridays at Western Unions, or for that matter, hospital emergency rooms where the illegals congregate to get their free medical care? And WTF is stopping them from taking advantage of student-teacher night to ask for tips on which parents are illegals, too, and getting the illegals deported without putting more onus on private wire-transfer services?

We know the answer to that, of course--the legislators wouldn't get police endorsements if they made cops do their !#@$!!$# jobs. And why would they have anyone in government do their jobs when they can get the private sector to assume the costs? It's a wonderful way to transfer the burden of policing illegals further onto the private sector instead of having the government do what it's already taxing us to do.

Hey Nay Sayers......they are attempting to take away LEGAL ways for these insurgents to give away OUR money. It is more than a start in the right direction. Whenever we can get any politicians attention on a seriously grave matter and get them to act in the right direction it's an accomplishment lately.

Applaud the good guys for NOT giving away the farm the way most in Washington are prone to do.

I think that the idea behind this legislation has merit, but I am concerned about a few loopholes that I don't think that this legislation addresses. First, what is to stop the illegal aliens from having anchor babies in the US which are under current practice considered citizens of the US from transferring money for their parents? Can the illegals give their money to their underage children or anyother US citizen and have them wire transfer the money for them?

I think that the best way to do this is just require that you be legally here in order to work. If employers are highering illegal immigrants then that is the issue that needs to be addressed. After all if illegal immigrants are not making money in the first place, then they won't be able to wire transfer it.
