Mexicans have such a "large social support network" here that they are able to send 14 billion USD back to the motherland each year.

EVERY IMMIGRANT GROUP who has ever come to this country sends remittences back home. All of my great grandfathers did the same thing 100 years ago.

The remittance issue is a stupid one that only lower class populist idiots would emphasize. The problem with the illegal Central Americans and Mexicans is their drain on social services (hospitals/schools).
