Holy. Crap.
2nd largest source of income in the entire country? I knew it was a lot, but I didn't think it was that huge.
Is it any wonder that the Mexican Government is vehemently against the whole anti-illegal scourge?
Grab this money and pay for the wall. There's tons of precedent for seizing illegally gotten money - tax cheats, drug dealers, laundering, arms deals... the list goes on and on. Illegals unable to prove their right to be here automatically got that money illegally. Take a minimum of 50% of it.
It also does not take into account those that live closer to the border that just take cash home on monthly "swims" across the River.
