Illegal Money Transfer Networks will come up. Agreed that it may be hard for the illegal Money Transfer Networks to handle $28 Billion per year, without getting discovered, but I won't underestimate the ability of the illegals to tap into the massive money laundering networks of the drug cartels, some with the help of their friendly US Banksters.
An easier solution will be focus on the employers. The employers are much smaller in number than the illegals, so easier to control. Make it impossible for US employers to hire illegals or even to replace legal US residents with imported workers on work visas. The employers are the real culprits.
By removing the incentive for illegals to stay in the US, they will return to Mexico voluntarily and they will take their savings back with them and invest in Mexico and the Mexican economy will boom.
Most of all, unemployed legal residents of the US will be working again, just by straightening out the employers, large and small, including the huge but still greedy corporations.

The latest poll from WI shows Trump ahead 10 points. All the others, taken in march before the sex scandal, showed Lyin' Ted up 7-10 points. Maybe enough of the religious voters have woken up to what a slimy creep Cruz is.
I'm too cynical to believe Trump will be allowed the nomination, or that Hillary will get indicted. Politics in America is a business, and those who own the franchise will make sure voters don't have the option to cut them out of the loop.

I have the full list as well and I'm in the middle of combing through it it's going to be interesting

The difference between "kill" and "murder" is that murder, as a subset of kill, is undeserved by the deceased.

I do not disagree with your premise about not hiring illegals, but I'm not keen on "accredited" and "legitimate". .gov demanding licenses for every little thing is major monkey behavior (see Tom Baugh). Sure, license the engineer that designs the bridge, but do we really need a license to push a lawn mower or to cut hair?

The reason for this is that, for example, where I live outside of our nation's capital, regardless of whether they self-identify as Democrats, Republicans, or Conservatives, most of my neighbors have absolutely no qualms with hiring illegals. These illegals do not work for American employers, but operate their own small businesses off the books doing any and all of housecleaning, yard maintenance, home maintenance, construction and remodeling work, etc. - just about anything one could think of. Need a tree taken down? Don't call the arborist or the accredited tree service, Miguel will climb up there with his chain saw, do it for $200, and even take out the stump. Need your yard weeded/mulched? Don't call the legitimate lawn service, Jose will do it all for $250. Need help moving? Just hire a few guys standing outside of home depot - who cares if they see all of the shit you own and also know where you live.
IN any event, one would think that given that 95% of my neighborhood is comprised of active/retired government workers (current/former members of government unions) or active/retired military, that each of my neighbors would be patriotic, rule of law types vehemently against the hiring of illegals, but alas, the truth is far from the case - they hire them wherever and whenever they can!
So true. The problem is that a vast chunk of the people in this country are living paycheck to paycheck because of the crony-monopolistic graft. The only way many of these people can afford to have things that are not actual 'necessities' are to buy them on the cheap. Even roof repairs fall under that category. Most people are one relatively mild unexpected expense away from bankruptcy. I do believe most of the people you're talking about would much rather pay an American, but the fucking government has made it impossible to afford that thing, service, whatever....otherwise. That's how all the cheap Chinese goods ever became big sellers here in the first place. Almost universally, people have bitched about the quality, but they still buy the shit anyway. It's a one-two punch: through graft, coercion massive government spending, fleece the masses to the point of bankruptcy, bring in rock-bottom cheap labor and goods to keep them quiet until the rest of the fleecing is completed. People will purchase these goods and services until they can't purchase those anymore either.

Yep. And if you see enforcement you will see tradesmen turn in the offenders as well. An illegal roofer drives down the salary of a carpenter as well. People don't get it but it does. Supply/Demand. If you can't get a job as a roofer you go into another trade.
I'm in a baseball club with several US Citizen, Hispanic Americans, and they are or were Democrats, and they are almost ALL supporting Trump. And strongly. They are in the building trades, and they are literally losing their livelihoods from under the table competition.
If the border is not enforced, then what kind of a signal is being sent here to legal, or legalized immigrants who came out of the shadows, got documented, and played by the rules?

Anyone surprised? SCOTUS denies request to review DC Madam case. Bought and paid for again, Roberts. I guess Cruz and the GOP also have the papers on you about those illegally adopted kids of yours.
So now what is the attorney going to do? Did he specify what his response would be if SCOTUS declined to hear his case?

Legal Mexican immigrants and naturalized Mexicans, now Americans, would probably contract to build the wall, with legal labor and be happier than hell doing it.

The EITC needs to go away for these folks. $4.5 billion in 2010 alone stolen from the taxpayers. They put down 9 kids living with them and win the lottery and the IRS simply sends them a check. This is insanity and only will change under Trump.
I could see him send in his team of outside auditors into the IRS and audit every division that handles tax credits for both individuals and businesses. I bet the fraud is absolutely insane. Then arrest everyone that is working there and looked the other way knowing they were ripping off the taxpayers.
We need a major restructuring of the whole system. Billions are stolen every year and this can be cleaned up by someone that actually cares about the country.

Attacks on Cruz will fall flat, his supporters aren't voting for him, they are voting against Trump. Cruz would be lucky to get 20% of the vote in the general election, his "kill all the gays" friend, will be just the start. Paul Ryan is likely to take the nomination on the third or fourth ballot due to Ted manipulating the delegates. It isn't going to matter if Trump gets to 1237 now, Trump needed to landslide every primary to have a chance, it's over for him unless he can convince Ted to drop out.

Regarding the DC Madam's phone logs:
Now it becomes clear why the Republican Establishment supports Ted Cruz. The RNC Establishment knows that they can kill Ted Cruz's chance to be elected and thus Hillary and Bill Clinton will again occupy the White House.
The RNC Establishment is content to be able to play games in the House and the Senate while not giving the common people any reason to support them as the common people fund them by acting as dumb bunny consumers to their true patrons.
Wake UP!

And don't forget the cheap and easy credit that's been made available.. The middle class has gone into debt up to their eye-balls over the last few decades. A move that has essentially allowed them to paper- over the fact that they are really NO LONGER MIDDLE CLASS. Many can pretend that they are, offer up the facade - so to speak, but that facade is financed with revolving credit...
And, of course, money being fungible - much of this money we borrow finds it's way right back into the American markets and competes with our other Dollars for goods and services, driving the costs of these things higher.
So think about that perverted circle of destruction..
We borrow money (much of which is poofed into existence when we 'borrow') to buy cheap-imported-shit (more expensive American-made-shit goes unsold - eventually putting American's out of manufacturing work) and the money that pays for this cheap-imported-shit finds it's way back here to drive asset prices higher, driving the cost of living higher and making it harder to get by..
About $100 Billion of the $500ish Billion Balance of Trade (Trade Deficit) found it's way back to the American real estate market last year. I'm not sure how much finds it's way back into Stawks and other asset classes..
We're borrowing money to put ourselves out of work while simultaneously making living more expensive.. Insanity!

Indeed, because they wish to avoid being exposed as the big-government statist frauds they really are, and having White House as well as majorities in both houses of Congress would do just that.
