From: Jeffrey Diamond [See his previous letter here.]
Given: Juan and Esmeralda are sending Postal money orders (from income on which they paid no taxes) back to fund their next-of-kin’s invasion.
There is a pathetically simple method of stopping this, if the interest were there.
The Post Office already encodes money orders with magnetic ink etc., for validity.
Why not add a simple embedded chip/device to all money orders that signals when scanned as it goes through … the Post Office?
Since we're primarily interested in large denominations, the extra expense simply goes on the purchase price and is marked up as added profit.
Operation: when a money order is detected in the stream leaving the US for Mexico, the envelope is seized, but not opened. The sender (if known), otherwise a similar notice to the recipient (with obvious changes) is contacted, as follows: "The Postal authorities have reason to believe that one of the following is true:
You are hereby summoned to appear in person before the Special Tribunal for Currency Transfers on (10 days from date) to enter a plea against these charges. Upon a finding of not guilty to all charges the funds will be released. You must attend under penalty of arrest, forfeiture of all property including real property, vehicles, etc., deportation, and permanent prohibition of future US presence and immigration petitions. Your default in timely attendance is absolute proof of guilt of at least one of the preceding accusations. Your default will result in the issuance of a warrant for your arrest, and notification of all Post Offices that you are prohibited from use of any federal facilities."
Result:
No investigation is need, since none of the senders will respond.
Every dollar spent on the money orders is converted from a method of funding illegal immigration into a method for detecting and suppressing it — at a profit.
No disposition is needed, no hearing, no investigation, no records — simply put the sealed envelopes into a large container … forever.
If there are no other candidates, I humbly nominate myself as the administrator.
