Cui Bono?

We know that some people believe Mexico is part of the solution when it comes to illegal immigration. This article shows why that isn't, and can never be true...

$23 billion sent to Mexico in '06
Record total attributed to more migration, cheaper sending costs

The amount of money that Mexican immigrants sent back to their homeland hit a record $23 billion in 2006 – suggesting a greater number of workers are sending more money home.

Immigration experts attributed last year's 15 percent rise to multiple factors, including increased migration, more generosity by immigrants and cheaper sending costs.

It was the fifth straight year that remittances have risen between 15 and 25 percent.

Two things, first, do you really think Mexico is ever going to shut down this gravy train? Yeah, me neither. Second, this is the fifth year that remittances have risen? I believe that's as good an indicator of our current invasion as any.

Cui bono folks, who profits. Until we completely understand who is profiting off illegal immigration we cannot stop it.
