xoxoxoBruce]From just 11 of the 10 to 16 million Mexicans here, that's $3,000 a week or $150,000 a year, that's not being spent in this country...... that's not being invested in this country.
Well, at least their not putting it up their noses or smoking it to the benefit of some Columbian drug dealer. What about someone who puts all his money in an off-shore bank? What about someone who invests in a foreign country? Should they be prevented from doing this?

What about the business owners who hire the illegals under the table and thus avoid paying payroll taxes? (the john's who hire the prostitute being the exception) Aren't THEY the real root of the problem?

The Mexican workers did the work for the benefit of the people here in the US. What they do with their wages surely should be their own business. My Swiss Uncle once sent me $3,000 to help me get through a rough time. Was he being a traitor to Switzerland?
