We have long known that many, if not most, illegal workers (and many legal ones) are sending their money back to their families. This removes from our economy and helps theirs. Don't think it is a big deal? Mexico's biggest export is people. People who vote in Mexico (and maybe here as well), who send money home. Over 20 Billion dollars of Mexico's economy depends on the income from people here in our country. Meanwhile, our people are unemployed or under employed and wages are suppressed. Perhaps you can see the reason Mexico meddles in our politics?
Want to rise the minimum wage? Remove illegal workers from the equation and wages will rise, supply and demand works. And as a bonus, our economy will be enhanced by a lot of that 20 billion dollars. that currently goes to Mexico.
