On average $15 billion a year in remittances flow from the US to Mexico annually, benefiting the Mexican economy.
And all that has done is to increase Mexican immigration to the US. I wonder how much of those remittances actually become seed money to finance chain migration (i.e. pay the bus fare, coyote, tourist visa application fees, etc.)?
