First a tiny bit of history. The Bush administration along with the Federal Reserve and Mexican banks and government decided to make it easy for Mexicans (including illegals) living in this country to transfer money earned here back to Mexico. The program was called Directo a Mexico and the Bush Administration spent a lot of money and time promoting it. Yes, the Bush Administration not Obama. At one time the PowerPoint presentation to promote it was on the web. I read it. So when the economy was tanking, we had money flying out of the country which is currently in the neighborhood of $24 billion per Trump and most of it is from Mexican illegals not Americans of Mexican heritage.
2006
Trump is planning to do the following:
The regulation 31 CFR 130.121 will be changed to redefine applicable financial institutions to include money transfer companies like Western Union, and redefine "account" to include wire transfers. Also include in the proposed rule a requirement that no alien may wire money outside of the United States unless the alien first provides a document establishing his lawful presence in the United States.
So it won't stop Mexican Americans from wiring money out or Mexicans who are working here legally, only illegals...but Trump says that's the bulk of the money.
Trump will ask Mexico to pay for the wall. Trump says Mexico will balk. Trump will tell them 31 CFR 130.121 will be amended not to allow illegals to do it. Trump says since it is approximately $24 billion annually these days and Mexico has no safety net program for their poor, Trump says he will tell Mexico to pay for the wall and if they do, then the US will tear up the amendment.
As previously mentioned Trump can also raise visa fees which he said could also pay for it.
Yawns. Undocumented residents need only have a citizen send it for them.
Then what? We start monitoring the financial transactions of citizens?

Still waiting for you know who to provide proof to his claim that it is mostly Mexican Americans that are sending remittances out of our country rather than those here illegally. Tick, tock, tick, tock.
Well, Fidel was in power for the terms of ten presidents, his brother is still in charge, and I don't see where Cuba has returned anything, yet they're still around.
I'd say it worked out.
I guess you're right, I mean where other than Havanna can I find a cab driver that is a licensed physician too?
The remittance money is money they earned by providing a service how is that not private property?
It was not earned legally. I have been to foreign countries. In none of them do I recall being allowed to work. What is so hard about the golden rule? Every country that ever asked for my passport is run by racist Nazis? That it?
