Those money transfers are a huge deal to the economy of Mexico. Make a credible threat to that flow of cash, and the Mexican government very likely gives in.
Or maybe just put a special tax on those transfers.

I don't know, seems like if the US tries to do too much with those money transfers, they will just turn to the black market for those money transfers.
And who is setup perfectly to help money come into mexico via the black market? The drug cartels.
