Huh? I pay my Mexicans in Yankee Federal Reserve banknotes. There is no
US Currency since 1913.


Even worse:

US Constitution:
Section 10 - Powers prohibited of States

No State shall enter into any Treaty, Alliance, or Confederation; grant
Letters of Marque and Reprisal; coin Money; emit Bills of Credit; make any
Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts; pass any Bill
of Attainder, ex post facto Law, or Law impairing the Obligation of
Contracts, or grant any Title of Nobility.

It is illegal for states to be paid in US currency. It's illegal for them to
pay you in US currency.

"make any Thing but gold and silver Coin a Tender in Payment of Debts"

States also cannot seize property for payment of debt.
