Not the first time a Socialist leader took over in Mexico. Last time the socialist took land from the big, wealthy, land owners and gave it to poor people, who quickly sold it off to developers. The developers turned the land into retirement communities which attracted the attention of their northern neighbors, US and Canada, aging retirees. They bought homes there as fast as they were built. When the right took back over they restored the land back to the previous owners and the aging retirees were ordered off the land, no compensation given.
Oh, you know that ICE can access ICE databases literally when people enter the country internationally and have passports? Well, that’s exactly the same as using Western Union at a convenience store.
How the ■■■■ do you make mailing a prepaid card illegal? You could put one in an envelope and mail it. Please, tell me how simple this one is. I’m dying to know.
I actually love this. Present papers proving your citizenship and papers proving the citizenship of the person you’re mailing it to at CVS or a corner bodega. Or give them access to ICE databases.
I used to send dollars to a friend in Turkey. Western Union needed to know everything about me… to the point where it was intrusive… for any transfer at all. Even when I sent a thousand dollars to my daughter in Buffalo for snow tires, I needed to talk to someone who interrogated me about why I was sending money. The same level of scrutiny can be applied to transfers to Mexico.
“How would you deport 20 million illegals, it’s impossible?” One at a time.
“It’s impossible to build a wall from coast to coast”. We don’t need a wall from coast to coast.
“A wall won’t stop anything, people will just go over it or tunnel under it”. With electronic vibration sensors and video cameras combined with quick reaction teams along with constant patrols.
“They’ll just go around”. Fine, we’ll concentrate the resources freed up then on wherever they are trying to enter next.
The truth is they don’t want to solve the problems, they see illegals as a permanent underclass of democratic voters for the future.
Um, a tax receipt for what? How do you confirm the citizenship of the person on the receiving end? Is the seventeen year old manning the counter now responsible for checking on your citizenship status? You don’t even need an ID to send money Western Union.
Your brilliant plan seems easily derailable by buying a debit card off the shelf and mailing it to Mexico and that’s just the first of a half dozen ways I can think of right now.
There is alot of checking when you use western union. I sent money to someone in Baltimore and they had problems because I did not include their middle initial on the transfer. The agent looked at their drivers license and said “nope”.
