#1 That will piss senor Fox off. Money wired to Mexico is now the leading GDP industry there. Mexico's economy would crumble without the money being sent from home and senor Fox would be seeing a major uprising at home.

hehehe... DO IT!

#2 The proposal, if adopted by Congress, would require anyone wiring money to Mexico to provide identification to financial institutions or wire-transfer operators to prove citizenship.

I forsee a bigger market for forged documents.

Better yet - impose a transfer fee, say, 20%? Apply it to border security.

#3 these same illegals claim poverty when admitted for primary care at the local emergency ward...why? But of course, the money's been sent back home. You can't have it both ways, dammit. Sr. Fox can chupame

#4 Pappy - make that proof of citizenship or legal residence. There are a lot of legal, law-abiding people we *want* here.

Other then that this is a damn good idea. Oh and deny admission to public schools and non-critical medical treatment as well. Seriously!

And (see... you went got me started now!) deny citizenship to newborns if one parent is not a legal resident immigrant (i.e. classified as an immigrant by the BCIS/INS) or U.S. Citizen. This also means no automatic citizenship for children of people here on a non-immigrant visas.

#5 Great idea. Do it, now. The sooner Mexico has a clean government, the better off North America will be.

#6 As Winston once said about Vincente: "He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire."

#7 Highly unlikely that these prohibitions or taxes on wire transfers will stand. They are smack dab in the middle of the interstate commerce clause, which also applies to international xfers.

#8 they're a statement, inserting calcium into the '08 presidential GOP backbone. I see WOT and immigration controls as winners...
