September 5. While we appreciate the disaster aid assistance Mexico is providing by sending a military convoy across our southern border. we cannot afford to pay them back with American jobs of our hurricane victims. Rebuilding our gulf coast with labor from Mexico would divert a large part of the estimated $200 billion cost to rebuild. paid for by the American taxpayers. out of our economy and into "foreign remittances." the monies sent back to Mexico from the United States by illegal immigrants. These "remittances" have now surpassed oil revenues as the number one source of income for Mexico. This is drawn directly out of our economy.
