Immigration & Remittances
If you want to get a handle on Immigration (legal and illegal), follow, control & manage the cast flow.
I covered some of this on last night's show. The data in this link is using 2003 data.
If the US want's to track where immigrants are, just get some reasonable control over the cash flow. Frankly, by setting up a few contractors (banks) to manage the flows, the US government could undercut the rapacious pricing of 100% private companies, offer temporary workers better service, and improve national security all at the same time.
Of course, if it was efficient, it wouldn't be the government, would it?
