From the article:
The non-discussed story is the hidden story that has been visible yet kept quiet for over five years. In essence, what Carstens knows, and what only Carstens knows, is the scope and scale of Mexicos economic (central finance bank) dependency on the outflow of dollars, hidden U.S. money.
Early this year, it was discussed for the first time that effective in 2015 Mexican Remittances exceeded the scale and scope of Mexicos entire oil and energy export sector. The single-year guesstimate was approximately $25 billion.
We build the wall by confiscating (taxing) a portion of the remittances.
But wait...there's more...
However, that guesstimate only measures wire transfers (individual to individual Western Union money services). That measure doesnt include bank to bank transfers, nor does it account for direct transfers of capital via cash, personal check, money order or banker cheque. In essence, the estimation is severely understated.An honest evaluation of all possible currency transfer streams puts the outflow well over $100 billion, well over.
