It's interesting to me that Texas, Arizona, and California - three states complaining the most about illegal immigrants - are three states which do not require employers to use e-verify to check legal status. I wonder why?
Wire transfers - 25% fee on all Western Union money transfers going out to Mexico, no exceptions.
You penalize the legal as well as the illegal, and not all illegal aliens are from Mexico. Some 40% of them come from countries other than Mexico. What about them?
2nd time - Stay here, in prison, 5 years, lose everything.
That makes illegal residency a criminal offense rather than a civil one. That would require jury trials, bail, appeals, and all the rest.

I didn’t know that...interesting.

As for penalizing the legal, I’d be willing to bet that’s a minority of wire transfers to Mexico or anywhere south of Texas. As for those from other countries, I’ve amended my original plan to say anywhere south of Texas, not just Mexico, I thought that was included. Anyone sending money south of Texas, same terms. If it’s legitimate, sorry, start complaining to your govt. I know it sounds pretty cold, but this problem is big enough we have to take a tough stand. Some innocent money transfers might be more expensive, but as I said, I think it will be a minority.

Illegal RE entry should be a criminal offense. If you’ve already been sent back and refuse to stay there, time for a more restricted lifestyle. 1st time, just send them back. Since they are not American citizens, I don’t see where anyone gets the idea they have rights, I think the bill of rights says citizens, not anyone and everyone. I may be wrong...but the ones caught at the border should be immediately turned around and sent back with no further ado. Fingerprint and send back. Then if you come back again you’re a criminal.
Yeah I’m a hard ass about it, but I’ve seen first hand the problems caused by illegal immigrants. My tools have been stolen, and other things, I live in Texas and see illegal immigrants working every day while I can’t find a job, (and working jobs I’d love to have) I’ve seen them claim to not speak English then laugh when you walk away...I’ve seen the ghettos after 2 years of occupation by illegal immigrants, I’ve seen 15 living in a 2 bedroom apartment next door...throwing beer cans in my yard, the manager tried to force me to pick them up and I refused...and that’s just the surface. I’m sick of it after more than 30 years...
I also see no reason anything should be printed in Spanish, we speak English here. Know what you see in south of the border printed in English? Coke and McDonalds...that’s about it.

NEWS to me that such a restriction exists. I paid payrolls in Calif as a bookkeeper for a very long time, & at one time was a Payroll Supervisor.
We were very careful & still had a problem. The ‘records’ of persons from south of the border cannot be checked against the information their home countries can supply. I don’t think there is much in the way of personal records in any of those places. The drug cartels know more about who they are hiring than any American employer can find out, IMO.
Money transfers need to have a 50% fee—for any money going south of our borders. Also a large fee from Western Union. No exceptions. DAMN few “legal” Western Union transfers are involved. For any of those living in the western part of the USA, go to your local Western Union location on a Friday-Sat-or Sun & see the LINES of Hispanic people lined up to send money south.
Hard to get states that are giving our driver’s licenses & MediCal to illegals to pay attention to our concerns.
You didn’t think there were such illegals in your area? They can come out of hiding for their payday transfers .....I have seen such up close. Was stunned at the numbers.
