That means that for the $20 billion that is sent from Mexican workers back to Mexico. there is $180 billion in economic activity occurring in the United States that could occur in Mexico if they had opportunities and jobs there. Obviously. that kind of economic activity feeds on itself and provides greater opportunity for those people and benefits to those people living at home. It takes a lot of pressure of illegal immigration off our borders. Ultimately. I believe in comprehensive immigration reform because I believe that whatever we do has to be built upon a foundation of security. In 2006. national security is about border security. In a post9/1l world. we simply must know who is coming into our country and the reasons they are coming here. We cannot assume that people are coming here only for benign reasons.
