When I was traveling Mexico I knew some people that had money sent to them, but they used their ATM cards to take it out of the banks so someone in the US had an account they were putting money in.
I am just wondering if Trumps little plan is going to make things harder for me when I am traveling out of the country.
The more I here about Trumps ideas all I can see is less freedom more regulations and bigger government.

To deny ignorance, I will say this. The border wall is completely impractical. Just do a search for drug border tunnels. You will find over 100 separate stories since 2007 I believe! Trump's border wall will NEVER stop all of the tunnels with dope trains from Mexico. Those are loaded with mostly meth and heroin. The marijuana is becoming far less profitable for the cartels... Which is a very good thing in my humble opinion.
Edit to add: It would be better to use equipment to find the tunnels and explode them or demolish them in the most efficient way possible. That's if I believed the border tunnels were run EXCLUSIVELY by the cartels. We know that's NOT the truth!

All the banks I know of, make you inform them when you are going out of country so they can deal with your CC's and ATM cards.
I never believed all these people here in the U.S. that send money back to Mexico while keeping themselves in "poverty" like conditions is realistic.

I am with a credit union and SunTrust I never needed to inform either when traveling. Maybe that is your bank's rules.

It is what it is, and it's better than the extremes.
You don't burn a house down because it needs a new coat of paint. This appeal to extremes shows how shortsighted Americans have become.
Are things perfect? No.
Can the be fixed? Sure.

The proposal could 'cause enormous damage to the Mexican economy' - erm, yes, that's the whole point. Is Obama really that stupid and weak?
If the whole point of the wall is to cause damage to the Mexican economy wouldn't that encourage more illegal immigration into the US?
You can't use rational thinking with these people. When you're dealing with Trump supporters, you're dealing with the lowest common denominator mouth breathers. You can't expect these people to take future implications into account.
