Remittances, or cash that gets wired, is a big deal for a lot of countries around the world — including Mexico. Just in November alone, nearly $2.4 billion in cash was sent there, mostly by Mexicans and Mexican Americans working in the US. That's the most money Mexicans have sent back in a single month in the last 10 years. And it's more income than Mexico makes off oil.

The morons out there, who don't seem to notice the price of everything has doubled in the past ten years, are suddenly very worried.
Banning wire transfers to/from Mexico should have been Step 1 of the Immigration Plan.
Kelly Ann Conway mentioned it last night on the O’Really factor.
They know. It’s coming with e-verify. As soon as Sessions is approved as the A.G. He has talked about this for years.
It’s gonna be Huuuuuuuuge!
And why do they need money here?...
Everything’s free.
Will the IRS be sending out Billions of dollars in refunds to anyone in the World that requests one this year ?
Only half true.
American consumers can force Mexican producers to keep Mexican product prices unchanged.
American consumers can decide to boycott Mexican products if Mexican producers try to pass along the Border Tax.
Or, in many cases, a 20% price increase on lower cost products may chase away large numbers of low income Americans, and the Mexican producers will have to cut prices to stay in business.
I would make it so If we have to physically round you up and deport you your name will go to the bottom of the list to regain entry into the US once the wall is built.
And that would include you will not be eligible to get a work VISA for 3-5(?) years.
It was as authorities began to look into the store's wire-transfers (remittances) that things got interesting. They all seemed to trace back to one or two accounts in Mexico City. Cooperating with Mexican Authorities, it soon became apparent exactly what the laundered money was being used to finance.
“Among the terror jihadists that travel back and forth through the porous southern border is a Kuwaiti named Shaykh Mahmood Omar Khabir, an ISIS operative who lives in the Mexican state of Chihuahua not far from El Paso, Texas,” authorities reported.
“Khabir trained hundreds of Al Qaeda fighters in Pakistan, Afghanistan, and Yemen and has lived in Mexico for more than a year,” according to information provided to Judicial Watch by a source identified only as “a high-ranking Homeland security official in a border state.”
According to the intelligence, Khabir now provides training to thousands of jihadis – mostly from Syria and Yemen – at a base in near Ciudad Juarez, which is located just across the border from El Paso, Texas.
“Staking out U.S. targets is not difficult, and Khabir actually brags in an Italian newspaper article published last week that the border region is so open that he ‘could get in with a handful of men, and kill thousands of people in Texas or in Arizona in the space of a few hours.’”
Beginning to see increasing number of help wanted signs in the windows of restaurants in my little bust section of the city I’m in. It’s a very far flung arm of the Aztec Empire and a sanctuary city. Purely anecdotal stuff but it wouldn’t surprise me if some of the homunculi feel a little far out on a limb.
bust = busy
It makes me ill to read of the billions of dollars illegals are wiring home to Mexico. Some of that money was rightfully mine.
Ten years ago, I was forced to reduce my businesses’ retail prices by 45%, in order to compete with contractors who used illegal labor.
We now make 30% less than we did 20 years ago, when we first opened the shop.
Even at such a steep discount, they still underbid us all the time. It’s a wonder that we get any business at all.
Although it is not particularly libertarian, I would agree with a passport requirement to send money to a foreign country as a feature of national security. Foreigners in America can of course use these services, but they will be subject to check for a valid VISA, either visitor, green card, or citizen. Anyone with expired VISA or “undocumented” gets reported.
I think Trump is talking about ALL remittances to Mexico.
Many Americans don't have to directly compete with the invaders for jobs, like I do. They're happy to let Jose cut their grass, and for Manuela to clean their house for cheap.
Few of my fellow Americans have taken a 45% cut in pay, like I have, over the last ten years. Those who've had their wages decimated by unfair competition by illegals, know exactly what I'm talking about, and hate these people (and their employers) with a white hot passion.
libertarians are crazy. Just listen to Levin for 30 seconds if you can make it that long.
I am sure before it is all said and done a few globalist free traders will have to be publicly burned at the sake to drive the point home - America first.
Hell, remit a portion of that tax to Americans who've lost their jobs, or who've seen their wages plummet, due to illegals in the workforce.
I've suffered personal injury to the tune of at least a million dollars, because of our government's intentional non-enforcement of our immigration laws.
I can't even properly express my rage over this subject.
Earlier today I was furniture shopping and prominently displayed near the cashiers desk a sign said “matricula nacional accepted”. Pissed me right off.

THAT is what has to stop now! Proof of citizenship must be required before money is transferred to Mexico or other countries south of the border. Citizen? 20% tax on transmission. Non citizen- ALL funds confiscated. Every American cent. Enough of feeding and supporting invaders and helping them to support future invaders! As great as he is doing, Trump is being too kind IMO. I would have stopped ALL government help to non citizens immediately, initiated round ups and started shipping them OUT! Every illegal- no exceptions! That is- right after I said ‘so help me God’ and then my first act as President would have been to arrest both Hillary and Obama on treason. Right there on the reviewing stand.
