In central Mexico’s Mezquital Valley, new pick-up trucks bounce along unpaved roads and U.S.-style houses are springing up alongside cornfields. But people are afraid that remittances from family members abroad, a primary source of funding for such purchases, may soon dry up.
During the holiday season, even as money and gifts have flowed into the area from relatives working in the United States, residents have fretted about what a Trump presidency will mean for them and family members working in the United States.
During his presidential campaign, Donald Trump said he would stop allowing wire transfers of money out of the United States from Mexican nationals unless Mexico agreed to fund a border wall. Migrants in the United States are expected to have sent a record $27 billion in remittances into Mexico in 2016, according to BBVA Bancomer, an increase of more than $2 billion over 2015.

Oh, so now they’re taking it seriously, huh?
El boo hoo
Aww, man... Does this mean they’ll have to go to work?? In the immortal words of Maynard G. Krebs, “WORK???”
Divert remittances tax free to the accounts of the genuine holders of social security numbers stolen by illegal aliens.
You forgot to add your sarcasm tag. At least I hope that was the case.
just charge fees = to 90% of any remittances sent to Mexico.
Probably pay for the wall and keeps a promise that mexico will pay for it.
I don’t remember Trump saying he would halt them, just tax them. Fake news again?
Betcha there's a lot of THERE, there.
ITEM--- Mexico has been swilling at the US trough....grabbing our tax dollars hand over fist.
ITEM---Mesico is one of the top ten countries receiving US foreign aid----almost a billion per year besides raking in hundreds of millions via the infamous "Merida Project."
ITEM--- Mexicans here send home back billions of our tax dollars.....the federales are prolly getting a huge cut of that.
ITEM--Some 125 countries including Muslim scum gather at the Mexican border to stroll into the US. Mexicao prolly gets a fee from each country to let that happen.
And the G stands for Walter.
don’t stop it-tax it. heavily. and provide stiff penalties for anyone involved in circumventing the taxes. and enforce the hell out of those stiff penalties.
Former Guatemala Prez used US banks to launder foreign aid millions;
Thieving Guatemalan was elected to "redistribute" the dirt-poor nation's wealth.
Alfonso Portillo---ex-president of Central America's Guatemala--- faced charges in New York that he used US banks to launder millions looted from his impoverished nation. Alfonso Portillo took office in 2000 pledging to (ahem) redistribute Guatemala’s wealth.
Portillo, 61, allegedly ran scams to drain the impoverished country's coffers. The feds say Portillo embezzled about $2.5M provided by the Taiwanese embassy....$1.5 million was earmarked for “Libraries for Peace”....books for school kids.
Portillo colluded w/ corrupt C/A insiders---he personally endorsed three $500,000 checks issued against an account at the Intl Bank of China in Manhattan, then deposited the cash in the Miami bank account of a Guatemalan bank controlled by a close associate and political supporter.
The embezzled foreign aid money was funneled to bank accounts in Paris in the names of Portillo’s ex-wife and daughter.
<><> Portillo swindled nearly $4M defense funds ...
<><> plundered the national bank run by his alleged co-conspirator...
<><> through overdrafts financed by public reserves the pilfered foreign aid money paid for expensive watches and cars, for Portillo and his associates. (NY POST excerpt 5/28/13)

<><>Obama’s ICE Director Sara Saldana threatens Congress
announces "No Immigration Enforcement Until Amnesty Is Passed"
<><> USCIS Leon Rodriguez's rubber-stamping criminals into the US and his expediting EB-5 visas.
===========================================
Obama's hand-picked henchman, Leon Rodriguez United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is rubber-stamping felons and diseased illegals into the country.
Rodriguez also oversees the infamous EB-5 visa program. Under Obama/Rodrigues' purview---EB-5's are said to involve major threats to US national security:
NEED TO KNOW----ARE OBAMA/RODRIGUES/SALDANA SELLING US CITIZENSHIP TO:
<><> (a) MEXICAN DRUG CARTELS,
<><>(b) ISIS TERRORISTS,
<><> (c) FOREIGNERS SEEKING THE OVERTHROW OF THE US GOVT.
Rodriguez's confirmation hearings revealed he was a board member of Casa Maryland---a Third World pressure group pushing for unlimited immigration on behalf of foreign governments. Rodrigues also has connections to foreign pressure groups across the nation.
==================================================
REFERENCE Circa 2012, Sen Charles Grassley (Repub-Iowa) exposed the DHS-USCIS visa program--Sen Grassley said ICE identified key vulnerabilities in EB-5 visas:
1) Export of sensitive technology/economic espionage.
2) Use by foreign government agents/espionage.
3) Use by terrorists.
4) Investment fraud by regional center.
5) Investment fraud by investors.
6) Fraud conspiracies by investors and regional center.
7) Illicit finance/money laundering.
Obama's amnesty memos signed aboard AF-ONE last Nov. The memos "delegate" to federal agencies, and gave presidential orders to come up with "plans" (that advance the conspiracy to overthrow the US govt).
Saldana and Rodrigues' federal agencies then "invent" Committees to do this. Then "Administrative Rules," after a comment period, are published in the "Code of Federal Regulations," which magically turns them into law........ using federal fairy dust.
So obamba is shielded from responsibility---he doesn't have to take the hit. Behind closed doors, he tells Saldana and Rodrigues what he wants.....and faster than you can say "the combo plate w/ extra hot sauce".....the overthrow of the US govt commences.
=====================================================
THE "DELEGATION" HORROR STORY--A Federal agency MO since 1946. It's down to a science: (1) publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM), (2) make the comment period really short, (3) stonewall any negative comments, and, (4) publish the rule, which (5) NOW has the force of US law.
No Congressman was ever involved, and Obamba doesn't leave his DNA on it. "Delegation" is ominous for liberty---centers on the writing of administrative law by nefarious types like Saldana and Rodrigues at these federal agencies.
It is patently un-Constitutional (hat tip to FReeper Regulator).
Trump needs to authorize a National Neighborhood Watch system , to support ICE / DHS , with a dedicated hotline that local AMERICAN eyes and ears can submit information and observations as to presence and activities of illegal aliens . Along with info on employers that illegally employ them , etc. Countless millions of observations , collated thru a vast staff of civilian volunteers in call centers , whom can collate thru to ICE the information they receive . Great a Force Multiplier of U.S. citizen volunteers . Submitting information that is actually taken seriously and followed up on . WE can beat this invasion . Empower US ...
you should see them lining up at WalMart to send Moneygrams
Our government does not.
I am a native Texan and I the illegal community has an overly-arrogant attitude towards their status. They’ve walked all over the stupid gringo for a generation.
However, I am noticing the attitudes are shifting from a sense of entitlement to a sense of nervousness. I feel no pity for them.
“I don’t remember Trump saying he would halt them, just tax them. Fake news again?”
Yes, all he needs to do is apply the current IRS regulations for untaxed income, and take 50% of it. Make the wire transfer services like Western Union, get I-9’s from anyone who is sending money to anywhere south of the border. These “remittances” are allowing the Mexican government to ignore their responsibility on our common border. I have read that it is now the single largest source of “income” to Mexico, now that their state-owned oil company (Peemex) has so totally screwed up their oil wells that they are not producing as they would with decent management. Typical for Mexicans though. They are like pigeons playing checkers, when they start to loose, they crap on the board and go home.
“I don’t remember Trump saying he would halt them, just tax them. Fake news again?”
That is what I remember. Nothing about halting them. So this is once again fake news.
