So, it turns out that the moolah leaving the country isn't being USPS'ed
out by a bunch of "illegals", after taking those jobs from U.S.
citizens. No, it's U.S. citizens, themselves, spending their - soon to
be - American Peso where it'll go farther.

Wow, that blows my whole image of "America". Hahaha

Wow! I hadn' thought about this remittance source! Of course, it makes
sense.
Illegal workers + gringos + drug dealers + coyotes = $20 billion USD in
remittances.
I just wonder how much is brought in by each group.
