Did illegal immigrants know it was supposedly illegal to enter the U.S.? It's a man-made law and many such laws are immoral. I think it's still legal to enter the U.S. to seek asylum. If your country is abusive to you or negligent, such as not providing a means of survival, I think it's your right, anyone's right, to seek asylum elsewhere. The Statue of Liberty says so for the U.S. The First Amendment is Freedom of Assembly etc. I think the Bill of Rights should apply to all people. My ancestors didn't have any restrictions on immigrating here. Some of them were here before the U.S. was a nation.
It doesn't make sense to me to call a peaceful person an outlaw and make them afraid to report real criminals to law enforcement and on top of that make it easier for them to work for the criminals for livelihood.
Money sent to Latin American countries, mostly to Mexico, by foreigners in the U.S. is reported to be near $100. billion year. Last year, $65. billion was transferred out of the U.S. economy into Mexico- much of this by illegal foreign trespassers.
No one knows how much of this money that is being sucked out of the U.S. economy is being sent by or to cartels / gangs. Or how much of this money was obtained by criminal activity, such as drugs, human trafficking, child trafficking, etc.

"President Trump recently proposed a 5% tax on (these) remittances and House Republicans reduced it to 3.5%. Omitted from mainstream media coverage, mostly critical of the proposed tax, is the “Directo a Mexico” program run by the Federal Reserve, the government agency that serves as the nation’s central bank. It was launched 20 years ago and USES GOVERNMENT RESOURCES TO SUBSIDIZE AND TO HELP ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS TRANSFER CASH TO MEXICO."
(Emphasis added.)

The proposed tax on remittances " ignit(ed) fury among Mexican government officials, especially President Sheinbaum, who threatened to “mobilize” a fight against the tax. Mexico’s president has publicly called on fellow Mexicans in the United States to send senators letters, electronic mail and social media posts expressing their disagreement with the... assessment."
Sheinbaum is apparently unaware that U.S. Senators are under Oath to serve as agents of the citizens of their State, their constituents- those who have delegated authority to the individuals elected to serve as senators- in accordance with the U.S. Constitution NOT the citizens of her or any other foreign country.

U.S. Constitution - Article VI, Paragraphs 2 & 3.
"This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made IN PURSUANCE thereof; and Treaties made, or which shall be made, under [not above, nor beyond] the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land;
and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding."
"The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several State Legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several Sates, SHALL BE BOUND by Oath or Affirmation to support [uphold] this Constitution..."
Nor do foreign nationals have the right "to petition the government for a redress of grievances", a right of U.S. citizens protected by Amendment I.
MythFighter.com opposes all taxes, except on plutocrats, because tax money isn't used for anything, it's only destroyed and thus removed from the economy, which is bad for the economy because a shortage of money causes businesses to go broke and consumers suffer too. That's interesting if the Fed helps immigrants send money to Mexico. Will they help U.S. citizens send money overseas? Any money sent to cartels or other criminals should be intercepted and distributed equally to U.S. citizens.
As Zeihan said, legalizing illegal immigrants seems likely to help solve most of the problems associated with them. Sending violent immigrants back, or to temporary prison, also seems best.
No, the Federal Reserve does not help U.S. citizens to send money to recipients in other countries, and government resources are not used to subsidize U.S. citizens sending money anywhere.
Yes, money sent out of the U.S. by or to cartels or other criminals should be confiscated.
But remember, those who entered the U.S. illegally are criminals under federal law.
I remain unconvinced that telling people that breaking the law is OK is a good idea. The U.S. is not ruled by men, but by law. "This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof...shall be the supreme Law of the Land.." U.S. Constitution, Article II, Section 3. So we expect people to break a federal criminal law, and then become law abiding guests of the U.S.?
It is the president's sworn duty to, "...take Care that the laws be faithfully executed..." - U.S. Constitution - Article II. And all officials, "...both of the United States and of the several States, shall be bound by Oath or Affirmation to support [uphold] this Constitution..." Article VI, Paragraph 3.
The current scope of the problem was completely avoidable if the person who previously served as president and government officials whose job it was to enforce federal immigration law and keep our national borders secure had not been derelict in their duties, in violation of their Oaths.
In addition to failing to uphold the law, foreign nationals were ENTICED by federal and State policies, and assisted by NGOs mostly by federal and State money- our money.
This was unfair to U.S. cities AND to foreigners whose live have been needlessly disrupted.
