[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1394025, member: 18945"] This is called 'remittances'. Money sent by immigrants back to their nation of origin. The World Bank keeps tabs on this and their most recent data (2014) shows that 2% of Mexico's GDP is derived from remittances from the USA to the tune of $25 billion.

MoneyGram is the biggest competitor of Western Union and every Walmart I have ever been in has a MoneyGram counter in customer service. I hope regulators or congress nixes the sale of this company to the Chinese.. [/QUOTE]
