sameRather than more “boots” on the banks of the Rio Grande, the state might set its sights on the banks of Wall Street.
In 2010, federal prosecutors disclosed that Wachovia (now Wells Fargo), Bank of America and London-based HSBC Holdings had laundered billions in illicit drug cartel money over multiple years.
Wachovia alone admitted that it had laundered $378.4 billion from 2004 to 2007.
Jeffrey Sloman, the federal prosecutor on the case, was quoted by Bloomberg as saying, “Wachovia’s blatant disregard for our banking laws gave international cocaine cartels a virtual carte blanche to finance their operations.”
Bloomberg also reported that, “Federal agents caught people who work for Mexican cartels depositing illicit funds in Bank of America accounts in Atlanta, Chicago and Brownsville, Texas, from 2002 to 2009.”
Transnational criminal organizations involve much more than the street dealer. Like any major private enterprise, drug production, distribution and monetization logically requires a broad and reliable network of bankers, attorneys, accountants, logistics specialists, IT administrators and other professionals.

Ben Carson Open To Using Drone Strikes At The Border

Awesome.
Yawn. We are already using surveillance drones.
Bomb the out em. Nuke em.
surveillance is NOT what the brainless surgeon is suggesting.
You can't ever have an effective immigration policy unless you first seal the porous border.
That is a bit like saying we can't have an effective immigration policy unless you first build a bridge to to the moon.
Not sure I buy that the two are necessarily linked, or that "sealing the border: is even possible.
Why even have passports if we aren't going to have a secure border?
If you legislate that illegal immigrants can become citizens without effectively closing the border you are opening citizenship up to the entire world.
you can't have free trade with a sealed border.
are we going to be secure or commercially great? pick one...
You can replace the word "sealed" with "controlled" if you prefer. and i'm OK with fining employers that don't use E-verify and hire illegal aliens. I run all my new hires through e-verify. It also catches child support issues.
is e-verify as inaccurate at credit scores?
e-verify has nothing to do with credit scores.
I employ a good number of illegals. They are my best workers tbh. My business would fail if I employed 100% lazy American citizens![]()
Could care less if you believe me or not.
Illegal are a blessing in my business. Work hard and keep the lazy sobs on their toes. Of course I don't advertise it![]()
Could Not care less.
And BS
Also surprisingly, the illegal are cleaner than American citizens. Always smell like fresh soap cheap soap but soap non the less.
Oh and I could care less. Just chose not to![]()
using e-verify at the site of employment is what you meant by sealing the border?![]()
CC is either a terrible liar, or totally carried off by hyperbole. no reasonable person would confuse "sealing the border" with using e-verify inside the country as part of the hiring process.
I expect Repugs to pay the $10Bs to build the fence and $100Ms/year to maintain and man the fence by cutting the safety net, like kids health insurance, school lunches, federal aid to public schools.
btw, I see where some schools plan to charge parents $600/year for their kids to ride in school buses. And if the school buses are privatized, that $600 will certainly rise a lot. rentier capitalism, per ardua ad nauseaum
