Good point, but I have a feeling that illegals would not be concerned about taking additional illegal actions. Call it just a hunch.

Illegals will just get a legal friend or family member to send on their behalf.

It is debatable whether illegals are the majority of remittance payers.

There is also a high remittance outflow to India, China, and The Philippines.

That post says volumes about the mentality of Trump supporters.

Good thinking Mick your tutor is doing a fine job. The point is it's action that is easily detected and intercepted and a donation to the cost of the wall.

Default Trump releases plans on how he will get Mexico to pay for wall lol

Trump outlines plan to get Mexico to pay for border wall - CNNPolitics.com

Are you serious lol

Architects have already said it's not possible to build or even afford the wall in our lifetime. He's still under this delusion that Mexico is going to even build the wall or have the budget to do so. The Mexican border is 2,000 miles and he wants to build a concrete wall over ten feet tall in the eight years. Lol

Lol...why build a wall when there is network of tunnels spanning though California, Arizona, Texas, and New Mexico. That's like putting a band aid on a open wound that requires stitches......to dumb it down for trump supporters, it's pointless.

"Easily detected" would mean every Western Union outlet (the gum chewing clerk at Safeway) would have to verify that the sender was in the country legally - ask every sender for a drivers license (some states only), a green card, birth certificate, or passport. This would also require the clerk to record every ID and send the info to the government. How would the the gov't seize or block these funds in real time?

No need for threats to be made against any countries or individuals. Since DT is the master deal maker and chief negotiator in the world, he should tell Mexico that the United States will gladly pay for the entire cost of the wall ... but they have to agree to take back all of the rapists that DT claims are living here.

You, too, can be a deal maker if you apply yourself.
