That is a great question!
I imagine they come into our country with back-up money as well...I don't think they come in penniless, as the illegals and their lovers want us to believe.
I have seen Mexicans lined up at the grocery store Western Union wiring money home. Much of what they use to get in here... they get from illegals already here. Whether the money is earned or stolen, who knows?

Nice one...It would seem that they really aren't impoverished after all...However there has been some reports on the news here in Arizona that in order to pay the coyotes (human smugglers) the chickens(illegals) are transporting drugs and weapons. There have been many arrests already in the desert where illegals were found with up to 20 pounds of drugs each and fully automatic weapons.

Their families pay and they agree to work for the people who smuggle them into the country. Some of them become virtual slaves, the women maids, the girls prostitutes, the men laborers. They work through "agencies" that collect the wages and "pay" the workers but somehow their wages never seem to cover their "room and board". In some countries coming to North America is viewed the same was as we view being sent to Siberia.

The U.S. should take that money in exchange for legal immigration. They come anyway, and we don't do anything, so why not make a few bucks off of it? We can put it towards the national debt, or defense spending.
Maybe it'll even make it back to the Natl. Guards enforcing the border. Wouldn't that be ironic?

Wow, this is a good question! They must be the worst investors in history. Why invest thousands of dollars for such lousy wages in return-plus risking deportation at every moment? If they can come up with that kind of money, why bother coming to the U.S. in the first place?

They work in Mexico for $1 an hour for 6,000 hours. Full time work averages 2,000 a year, so they save that dollar every year for up to three years.

Most of them have relatives already in America who help them out. Then the immagrant works for the person who helped them out. It's a lot like indentured servants back when America was being colonized.

money other illegals or even legals send back to them from jobs in the US, some go into debt, knowing if they don't pay up once they get to the US, their family in Mexico will be hurt

A healthy white baby is worth about $4,250 in Mexico.

Good question. I have always wondered that myself.
Yars, you are funny but right; give him the 10 points for most logical!
