A friend had told me that her family sends some money back to her aunt and cousins. They are not illegal though.

Legal immigrants can validly send money to their family in their home country because they can present proper identification papers unlike the illegals.

As long as they aren't on welfare or other government assistance there's not much you can say about it. If someone is on government assistance and still has enough money to be sending it out of the country, there is something wrong with that picture. If they have enough money to send it out, they should have enough money to live without MY help. I NEED my money to spend RIGHT here in the USA. They should not be getting welfare and still have money to send out.
Those immigrants who send money out to their families in other countries are STILL taking revenue AWAY from the USA economy just as much as the illegals are. They are hurting our economy just the same. That money was earned HERE. It should be SPENT here. There's no wonder our economy is in deep, red $h*t.

Western Union makes a great living out of wire transfers to immigrants families "back home".
It's very common. I have to give immigrants credit, 99% come over there and work doing bad jobs and still send home money.

Yes, but the documented legal immigrants usually pay taxes (unlike many illegals) and whatever money they earn legally is theirs to spend as they wish.

They do, they have the right to! They work here with crappy jobs just to feed their families, so they can and should send back money.
