Obama has showed us what one man, the POTUS, can do with a phone and a pen
Don’t need no steenkin’ Congress
No steekin’ constitution either
Just a compliant or neutered press

Black market means yes, bitcoins no. Too complicated for them.

Simple, show Id to transfer money.

Ohhh, boo hoo. They would “enrage” the banks. Another straw man as to why you can’t accomplish anything. FREAKIN’ enrage them.

And there we have it. This is asset forfeiture. Pure and Simple. Funny how the libertarians who moan and groan at this practice are apparently fine when Trump proposes it.
Did you forget the subject here is...I-L-L-E-G-A-L-S...?

Why do you assume that Bitcoin is too complicated for them? It may be too complicated for them to bother with NOW, but given the choice between figuring out how to use Bitcoin and having 10% of their transfers taxed, they’d learn quickly.

Trumps pledge to impound remittance payments implies seizure, an act that would face a high legal bar to clear.Uh-huh. Tell that to the innocent people who have their money seized by police without charges.

A more effective method, that would be easier to get through the courts, would be to fine employers who have paid illegals - at a rate that would make it hard to justify hiring illegals in the first place.

RE: 50% tax on transfers to MehHico, then.
That would include Americans who would want to remit money to Mexico?
To: SeekAndFind
A simple tax on wire transfers might offer the path of least resistance. A good way to start and fairly easy to do. Start with the tax at least 25 percent of the total money transferred. Then after a few months raise the percent to 50 percent. Work on legislation to prohibit all transfer of funds without special approval from a new branch set up in the IRS.

Sounds like punishing Americans and legal residents to me.

executive order #1, rescind every order Obama ever made.
executive order #2 lay the ground work for Mexico to pay for the wall to be built.

I would like an EO that made O’s records public.

I have no problem with the government seizing the assets of criminal illegal invaders.

Add a 20% tax to anyone that do’s not have proper papers to be in the U.S. I don’t care were the funds are going there taxed as most of these funds were never taxed.
A fine of $5000.00 for every illegal found working for any employer. The second time it goes to $10,000.00 and so on tell the company is out of business.
