But while many illegal aliens have stopped going home, their paychecks still make the trip. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, the second-largest source of foreign income for Mexico, after oil, is the money sent back home by Mexicans working in the United States. This windfall is estimated to be from $14.5 billion to $17 billion to the Mexican economy each year.

No wonder the Mexican Government has little incentive to stop emigration. It brings in tons of cash. It also relieves political pressure as those most determined to better their situation do this by going north instead of staying home and taking out their frustration on Mexican politicians. Pundits surmise that if this pressure release valve were closed, Mexico would explode into violent revolution within five years.
