#1 You earned it here. Pay taxes on it here and spend it here. Certainly well past time the "non-reported" cash income and tax avoidance should be ended.

The Mexican Cartel drug and people smuggling business will surely suffer.

Currently, there is an estimated $150+ billion lost in tax revenues annually due to ILLEGALS wiring money home.

How about a tax on all Internationally Wired $$$$ if the sender is not a US Citizen, and not sending $$$ to immediate family, or for purchases?

For VISA workers here LEGALLY.
A simple VISA ID check with the VISA IV document # verified and recorded as proof to avoid the additional tax for job related earned income being wired home.

Since there are about 154 million US individual taxpayers (2022). That's works out to something like $974 for each US taxpayer, that is indirectly covering in various way for Illegals care and etc.

#3 Mailing prepaid VISA cash cards bypasses all of this. So do ATMs.

#4 ....Tax remittances at 25%. That might do more to discourage illegals than anything else.

Except that the US postal service 'liberates' things like cash cards for their own use.

But given, there are 21+ Major US banks that don't require a SS# to opening a Bank account.

Yes, there are ways around my suggestion.

But mention a new way to collect TAXES from other than US Citizens to congress, and they'll step all over themselves.

BTW: Many Visa Gift Cards sold at Wally World are USA USE ONLY.
