Where does all this Money come from for the illegals from Mexico?

Where does all this Money come from for the illegals from Mexico?
Already the complaints from the illegals from Mexico regarding the Immigration Bill are being heard, which is no big surprise to me. One of their complaints, is the $5,000 fee they must pay as a step towards citizenship. What I would like to know is, if most of them only make $10 a day in mexico then how could they save up $3,000 to pay the coyote's fee? Did they complain about this fee? We gave $1 Billion to Mexico within the last two years, where did that Money go?

It may surprise so many people here that labor done by illegals contributes an average of about $50 billion a year into our economy. Yet,and I don't just mean Mexicans,illegals send about $20 billion home and then GO home to come back and do it all over again next year. They DON'T get food stamps or get medical attention at hospitals because they know that the hospital will detain them for police and immigration authorities to be deported. My question is ,"Where the heck is the other $30 billion?"
3 :
The people I have talked to are not complaining about the money. If fact most are not complaining about the bills format at all. The only concern many are feeling right now is about the time frame it will cover and if the government is planning to use this for tracking and deportation purposes only. They have no problem paying a $5000 fine. I have already saved the money for my husband even though we are already doing the current way of filing. This would allow him to immediately return here and work and be with me.

Anything worth having is worth earning and working for. I am a firm believer that nothing is free. I think the $5000 is reasonable, especially since it can be paid over time. I'm sure that a lot of the illegal aliens have received at least $5000 in benefits already being here - in education, gov't services, health care, etc. I think its fair to ask them to pay back in. Although, I forsee many not coming forward because of the 5K, and remaining illegal, and nothing will be solved....
5 :
If you wanna know where $1 billion dollars went talk to their corrupt government who lives better then 93% of the Mexican people. Where do you think the drug cartels get their money?? THey get the money for the coyotes from relatives already here. How did those relatives get the money? Probably trading, and selling their souls. Most of the illegals are NOT complaining about the $5,000 fee. Your just hearing that from a small portion. I am positive that most would be GRATEFUL to pay that fee.
6 :
Dont u know what's even going on im mexico???The government doesnt help them in anything and im asking them the same question, what does the mexican government do with that money. They dont help mexico or build anything to improve their country. Dont try to involve immigrants in this like if it's their fault. They just want a better life and work for it they dont just get it please get ur facts straight sweety.
7 :
I want to know where I can pick up an application to be an illegal alien. You get free health care, don't have to pay Taxes, can still get a driver's license and a job, and get more breaks than native born American's. Sounds like a pretty d*mn good deal to me!

I heard the coyote money was coming from the Mexican Mafia in return for "services" because I had the same question myself.
9 :
nop, ur wrong..they hearn $10 PESOS...which is around 1 dolar the hour :) i lived there and...u people should stop talking about things that u guys don't know, it's getting annoying..so let's break one big myth THEY DO PAY TAXES....
10 :
The fact is that they are sending 50% of their money back to their countries of origin and that money is used to smuggle even more people into the country. Over $20 billion left the USA last year. According to our protected sources (but you might talk to Geraldo Rivera because he did a special on it once to see what he says) the coyotes (immigrant smugglers) charge upwards of $5,000 per person to bring them into the country. The most often quoted price we get is $15,000. For $15,000 the coyotes promise jobs with illegal immigrant employers, sanctuary, false identifications, etc. If you will recall a recent false identity ring was just arrested in the Chicago Area. Often these smugglers are gang bangers and drug dealers who use the people who can't afford to pay as mules (people to bring in the drugs in body orifices) or to distract the border patrol from the drug dealers' activities. We are watching and we are reporting. According to the government itself, Drug Cartels control our borders -- our government does not. The fact that our Congressmen are doing little, if anything, to protect our borders and have admitted to their failure to protect us from all enemies foreign and domestic and since they claim they can't deport 12-20 million illegals, and they are getting money to stay in office should tell you where their loyalties truly lie. Add to the fact that the government has chosen to "watch anti-immigrant extremists" instead of watching the illegal immigrant smugglers and extremists and terrorists is proof enough that our government has committed treason against its own law-abiding citizens. If the government did its job, there would be no need for anti-illegal immigrant extremists. La Raza and LULAC, CASA Latino, MALDEF, PERLDEF, LCOM, American Muslim Voice, are just a few of the organizations that receive tax dollars from the U.S. Government. These tax dollars are used to obtain amnesty for illegal immigrants and for these pro-illegal groups to sponsor bills and legislators for Congress. In other words, our tax dollars are paying for these people to get preferential treatment. Chicago and other Sanctuary Cities receive millions of tax dollars annually and there is very little audit done to ensure that the money is used to do what these pro-illegal groups claim it is used for. Additionally, banks like some of the banks in the Little Village neighborhood actually facilitate the money being sent out of the USA and some towns in Mexico are nearly 100% supported by citizens in the USA -- If memory serves me correctly (and I can look this up) there is a town in either Michigan or Wisconsin that sends over $4 million to a town in Mexico. It takes time to dig up the facts again but we have them. If you will visit the web sites of LULAC, La Raza and look at their awards dinners and the costs of them, you will see that the tickets are extremely expensive. One of the Hispanic organizations was charging $15,000 for a ticket and the awards only went to Hispanic supporters -- none went to Law-abiding U.S. Citizens who didn't support this discrimination. If you will go to the American Muslim Voice website, you will find links to the Resistance groups. The same is true for La Raza and MeCHA. La Raza was cited for teaching its radical views in California Schools, but nothing really came of it. Our government is apparently not interested in protecting U.S. Citizens but is more interested in protecting terrorists and those who would commit organized crime and become gang members. That's evidenced by the few arrests that are made and the thousands of illegals (potential terrorists) who cross our borders every single day. If our government would start enforcing our laws that are already on the books immediately, they would make a huge dent in the illegal immigrant population and trafficing and even on the drug wars. But the government is not doing their job. That's why the anti-illegal immigrant extremist groups are popping up. They are trying to protect their own property and the government is jailing them and punishing them instead of the real criminals. Governor Rod Blagojevich started a loan program to help illegal immigrants obtain loans (I-Loans) and the ALL KIDS program that helps illegal immigrant children get health insurance. What has he done for the U.S. Citizens lately?

All the money comes from the American taxpayers' pockets.... especially the overtaxed middle class. What little is left of it at this rate.

What is the easiest way to deal with money when staying long-term in Mexico?

What is the easiest way to deal with money when staying long-term in Mexico?
I'm a college student, and I'm going to be studying abroad in Mexico for a semester. What is the easiest way to deal with money there? It seems that the cheapest way is to just use a credit card as much as possible (there is a fee for using a credit card, but there is also a fee for using an ATM or getting a wire transfer), but I'm wondering if it might make sense to convert a good amount of money at a bank or currency exchange in the states before going to Mexico, or if the exchange rate there would be as significant as the fee of a credit card or whatever. Can anybody help me? Also, any tips in general about living in Mexico are appreciated. I've taken a preparation course and done some reading, so advice such as "Don't drink the water" is rather redundant, but if you have some little-known advice, I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

The easiest way to handle your money in Mexico is to find an international bank that has affiliates in Mexico and USA. This way you can avoid any transaction fees that would be associated with using ATMs. Credit Cards should ONLY be used in reputable malls/hotels/restaurants. You are going to need cash for most transactions. I would recommend Citibank, HSBC or Bank of America. HSBC is in Mexico, while Citibank and Bank of Am have Mexican affiliates ( Banamex and Santander). It helps to do some research on cultural differences before coming (little things that can be offensive etc.) because you might be surprised. Some Mexicans get annoyed at foreigners because they "slam doors". Cultural research can also help ease culture shock and allow your time to be more enjoyable. No extra advice for living in Mexico-- come to Mex with no expectations and enjoy the undiscovered!

The safest and most convenient way of dealing with money is to use your ATM card to get cash as you need it. Check with your bank to be sure you can use their card here. If not, then open an account at Bank of America...their cards can be used in Mexico with no problem as they are partners with a Mexican bank...Santander Serfin. You can use your credit card at major stores like supermarkets and Walmart, but not at the little shops. Do not bring a large amount of cash with you. Drink only bottled water...like EVERYBODY else. Relax, enjoy yourself, and have a great time.

You don't say where you will be staying, it it happens to be Cuernavaca, sign up at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/CuernAds/ to get in touch with the foreign community here. About bringing money in to Mexico, I always use my credit card at the window in the bank. They charge about $4.50 for the service and I have gotten up to $5,000 US at one time. The exchange rate is okay and there's no additional charges. You don't want to use your card just anywhere, it can be cloned and you'll find you just bought a bunch of stuff you never knew about. The best exchange rates are at the airport in Mexico city. Best advice? Learn Spanish! Get a Mexican girlfriend!

This must be an exciting time for you! It sounds like you've done some background work. I'd also advise speaking to someone who, like you, has lived in Mexico. Typically when I travel internationally, I exchange enough cash at the airport to get me to my destination and a little extra. I put spending money in my front pocket and the rest in a money belt tucked inside my pants. We spent a week in Mexico City and took day trips to Cuernavaca and Taxco. It's not wise to flash money. Though we had no issues, I'd remove my money in a restroom or behind closed doors just to be safe and not draw attention to myself. My primary goal is to remain safe.
6 :
Just use your ATM card to get cash. When I was down there, the fee for getting money out was minimal, and the exchange rate made up for it. For example, if I got out 1000 pesos, I would just estimate it as $100 U.S. It would actually be about $95, then with about $2 in fees, the actual total for the transaction was about $97. Then again, maybe I just had a good bank back home that didn't charge me twice for using another bank's ATM. Have a back up plan in case you lose your card. Many places (even some hotels) don't take credit cards. Tips: be very polite. Always greet people with "Buenas dias," "Buenas tardes," or "Buenas Noches". Greet people in stores (or markets) politely before doing business. It can be hard to break large bills, so plan ahead and save some small bills/change for bus rides, bottles of water and other small purchases. Try different things and have fun!

All good tips here. My best is...tip everybody, all service people, kid in the grocery store who bags your purchases, guy at the gas station. Small change brings big dividends. Smile a lot, try to learn the language, enjoy the experience.
