      They will seize their house, their car, their bank accounts. Any property they can. Law enforcement in this country has a long history of being literal bandits, this is simply justification.

      Most “wealth” is digital. And repossessing physical goods is a huge industry.

        I would hazard a guess that undocumented people rely much more heavily on cash (though that is just a guess, do correct me if I’m wrong). And they’ll take the property whether there’s a “fine” levied or not, so I’m just not seeing the point here.

        Oh, wait. It’s not a logical point, it’s a “the base will eat this up” point.
