MEXICO CITY – Almost one in two Mexicans has a family member working in the United States, and a third of those were sent money in the past year, according to a survey published in Mexican daily El Universal Monday.
The poll of 1,000 people showed 45 percent had at least one relative across the border and 61 percent rated the money they send as “very important,” illustrating Mexico's reliance on remittances.
Some 11 million Mexicans in the United States sent home a record $23 billion to their families last year – Mexico's second-biggest source of foreign currency after oil imports, even dwarfing the tourism industry.

Half have relatives here. The other half are the ones already here.

What it means is, if the Bush/Kennedy amnesty goes through, then all of mexico will be eligible to move to the US, based on family "reunification" preferences in our immigration law.

I think that's what it boils down to, Dowple.

If it would get rid of the ones here, I'd send money to their family members.

I'd rather send them Chinese Communist wheat byproducts for their tortillas.

We are watching the fall of America. Plain and simple. The idiots in charge are the real America haters.

What will mexico look like almost totally depopulated? What goals must a country have to want its people gone. Even if, granted, the idea is to take over another nation and lay hostile claims to its land, their country will be empty or nearly so.

I don't know, but a mexican once told me that Vicente Fox hates the darker skinned mexicans and wants them out.

Recently a study by the Mexican Government also determined that Mexico looses more citizens to emigration to America than it looses to death.

More people in Mexico leave the country and enter illegally into the United States than die.

But yeah, you're right, there is no "imigration problems", other than some of our "intollerance" toward it.
