We don't know how many undocumented immigrants come here through sophisticated subterranean drugs tunnels connecting the US and Mexico, but it could be a large number.
Yes, there are undocumented immigrants who return to Mexico with a lot of cash, it's way more common than you think.
Someone enters the US and works, and then sends or takes money home with them. We exchange goods and services with people of other nations all the time.
To my mind, when Romina Ortega, who comes here from Mexico, works in construction on my house, then goes home and takes what she was paid, it is no more onerous than when I go to the appliance store and buy a Whirlpool washing machine that was made in Mexico by her sister, Sophia. In either case, I don't care that some of my money is leaving the country.
International trade is okay, don't you think? Maybe you can help me out here.
