Interesting diagram at link. For many immigrants, America is a money laundering operation! The only thing America exports is its currency!

Yup. If they are sending that amount of money overseas, then they better stop bitching about this immigration overhaul BS.

The Fed is exporting currency primarily via illegals, the drug trade, and oil. They print it and it doesn't stay home to "cause inflation." Instead, it is the direct export of American wealth: your home, your retirement, and your children's inheritance.
Aren't they generous!

Around here - Northern Palm Beach County - it all goes to Guatemala. Anchor babies in strollers on every corner.

The plan is to bring all these relatives to the US and put them on welfare, SSI, SS, Medicare etc. That will slow the outflows,but increase the cost.

It is also an incentive for the Third World to send more and more of its population to the developed countries as a matter of policy. Is it any wonder why the Mexican government doesn't clamp down on its border with the US? They get more in revenue from their nationals in the US than they collect in oil revenue.

The guys I know all have two families - one in Guatemala and one in the states. The pretend families they produce here (without stop, mind you) are just cash cows that allow them to send most of their earnings home.

Just think, if we had looser border control, they could ALL come here and there would be no need to send the money out of the country. Problem solved. /sarc

"They print it and it doesn't stay home to "cause inflation." Interesting, so your point would be that the dollar is used unofficially as a trading currency in multiple countries. Because as you know, dollars are only good in the USA which means somehow they are coming back... thus inflation. So your theory would then suggest these black markets are somehow impervious to the laws of money supply.

It is also an incentive for the Third World to send more and more of its population to the developed countries as a matter of policy. As we continue to export mechanized agriculture there is nowhere else for them to go but the sweatshops of the world. At a secondary level, the same is true for the export of manufacturing technology where printed money is loaned for big industrial projects.
Yep, it's global.

Black markets the world over accept dollars.
