Simple. Outlaw all wire transfers to Mexico from individuals. Easy to do and enforce. A lot of these people will go home when they can no longer send US dollars to Mexico.
No Walmart or Western Union electronic money can be sent to Mexico. You will see results quickly.
Mexico is barely functioning, if we pull their lifeline, they would become a failed state on our border.
Think of the possibilities of our soft underbelly being exposed even more than it is now.
“Simple. Outlaw all wire transfers to Mexico from individuals. Easy to do and enforce.”
Banning or imposing heavy taxes on wire transfers won’t work. It will just hasten the formation of an “underground” banking system, like the one I saw when I lived in Japan. Transfers will just be made through export/import businesses or through the cartels - groups that already have experience in moving money among countries. It will be expensive for the illegals, and the US government won’t get any benefit or control at all.
Oh yes that would be the easy one. The hard one would be stopping the cash flow back to Mexico.
All road check points are setup for mostly traffic headed away from the border. Talking with BP folks, they never check trucks, buses, or autos going south for drug CASH.
So what happens, the cash is taken to the border towns to cash houses and split up and then moved across the river bypassing the checkpoint or more time is spent hiding the cash in the vehicles to pass through the border checkpoints.
This can be done with remittance where the sender pays a fee to send the cash and have it distributed or a "banking" system is set up for the laundered cash. Pretty simple and hard to enforce.
I like the concept though but more fleshing out would have to be done before I would totally believe The Mouth could pull it off.
I really do not care if Mexico pays for the wall. What is important to me is that the border is secure. That is the bottom line. All of the other reality TV mumbo jumbo is wasted on me.
Secure the damn border FIRST and deport the Illegal invaders so this country has a fighting chance to recover. Secondly, try and convict all traitors associated with the Obama administration. Hang them in public displays across the country. NO Reality TV broadcasts and people are required to attend at least one. This will definitely start America healing.
