Not only that. this illegal labor takes away approximately. if I remember the figure. $30 million a year. The money paid as coolie wages is not spent in the United States on our side of the border. It is sent to Mexico and constitutes the third largest source of income to Mexico. exceeded only by tourism and the mining industry. The outfit that does the biggest business along the border is the United States post office where the wetbacks buy money orders to send their wages back into Mexico. So that it harms the smallbusiness man. the drugstore. the restaurant. and other such small businesses.
