Fewer Mexicans Sending Money Home

August 17, 2007 | ISSUE 43•33

Anticipating a move back home, the percentage of Mexicans sending money to family in their native country fell from 71 percent last year to 64 percent. What do you think?

Cutting off their family, eh? Then they've truly become Americans.

It burns me up to think of those illegal immigrants hoarding their riches.

I'm not surprised. It's pretty difficult to sneak a bag of money across the border every week and make it back before your double shift at Chili's starts.
