    If they are undocumented, how will Trump seize it?

    Even if every single mixican immigrant, whether legal or illegal sent their entire monthly income to Trump it would not pay for 2000 miles of effective wall.
    And as yet we have not even spoken of the nearly 100,000 miles of shoreline where people could sail up and go ashore.

    Actually Trump is doing quite well. 50 years ago the US was an attractive destination for immigrants. That is no longer the case; but Trump must share the 'credit' for that with a lot of other people. This post was edited by JakobA the unAmerican. at February 23, 2017 2:40 PM MST

    My guess is that somehow the law that allows the government to seize assets that may have been gotten illegally would be  used to justify such an action.  Civil forfeiture allows great freedom for the government to seize assets without any proof of wrongdoing.
