Didya read? 45 billion in remittances?

Answer 1

Half of that is to Mexico, about the same as Mexican sale of oil to the USA. But a small fraction of total US-Mexico imports/exports:

2005
Exports $120,364,800,000
Imports $170,108,600,000

And lost in US GDP of $ 11,750,000,000,000

It's just more scare-mongering. A lot of those remittances came back to the US to pay for corn and other agricultural exports. Heavily subsidized by the US taxpayer on behalf of agribusiness (never the small farmer). Now THAT'S something to get angry about.

Answer 2

Yes I saw that new number,its very interesting.No wonder Mexico doesn't want anything to interfere with its cash cows.It is a major industry to Mexico.Heres something you may also find of interest.

More than 14,000 Mexican nationals were returned to Mexico's interior last year, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officials, responsible for guarding America's borders, are hopeful that efforts at voluntary repatriation this year will add to that number.
The plan, known as the Interior Repatriation Program (IRP), returns detained illegal aliens to Mexico's interior rather than to towns along the U.S.-Mexico border as part of an effort to both control the Southwest border and to save the lives of those who might try again to cross the desert areas of the Southwest to regain entry to the United States.
Many detained illegal aliens who are now returned to various border communities after their capture in this country often find it easier and more economical to re-enter the United States rather than return home to Mexico's interior, authorities said.
Of the 1.15 million illegal aliens apprehended last year by the U.S. Border Patrol, a Department of Homeland Security agency within CBP, the vast majority of them were Mexican nationals and more than half of them were detained along the Arizona-Mexico border -- particularly a 260-mile section of Arizona's southeast known as the Tucson sector.
