Translation: Immigrants use their informal 'cultural' banking systems so they dont have to pay taxes.
If the working poor have $10,000 in cash to spend at one time, we should all be so poor.

You have no memory, Dialup Llama.
The old folks back in the "good ol' days"
didn't hide their money in mattresses to avoid taxes.
They put the money in the mattress
because they didn't trust banks, or bankers.
I can't think of any reason that an immigrant
would have to trust the federal government.
It doesn't matter whether the immigrant is legal or illegal,
his best interests are served by avoiding
the attention of government officials.
He doesn't trust them, and with good reason.
