Long known as an open secret, for literally decades, migrant works come to the use, get various government support programs while working, and then they send American $$$ to their family back home. This is, in fact, the LARGEST SOURCE of money flowing into the Mexican economy. I've seen some estimates that $60 BILLION DOLLARS flows back into Mexico, from illegal migrants, who send parts of their paychecks back to Mexico. So we subsidize them, they send back to their families some of the $$$, that is a net loss for the US economy, a net plus for Mexico.
Add to that the facts that the influx of workers increases housing costs and depresses labor pay rates. For decades we managed that because the cross border influx was generally managed so there was a tolerable balance.
But the Democrats open border crowd, aided by allied factions supported by NGOs, which are in fact supported by USAID, and other government funded agencies, opened the floodgates and the American population went into rebellion over the imbalance.
US crime rates have skyrocketed, social order has been disrupted, not only did we get a huge influx of migrants seeking work, we also got criminals, gangs and other ne're-do'ells.
So in 6 months, Trump not only shut down the outflow of Mexican criminals, Mexican dissidents, and Mexican workers, the also slapped a transfer tax on money being shipped "back home to Mexico" by subsidized illegal workers here. Leaving Mexico with far less $$$$ flowing into their nation, far more people stuck in their nation, far more criminals stuck in their nation, and people being deported back into their nation.

Do They Deserve It? Mexico Is Collapsing As The US Deports Illegals Back Home
Oh, the delicious irony. For many years I’ve been writing about the southern US border and the many ways in which Mexico has used it as a “steam valve” to get rid of people in perpetual poverty, as well as malcontents, violent criminals and political revolutionaries. Who could have foreseen a time when the conundrum would be reversed and Mexico would be crushed by an avalanche of its own unwanted citizens?
But weren’t we told that migrants are an “economic boon” to any country lucky enough to have them?
The argument among progressives and open border activists has always been that migrants are average law abiding people (just like us) who slip across the border simply to integrate into our society and live the American dream. They claim that Mexican leaders are not in control of the situation and that people are desperate to escape crime and social decline.
In reality, government officials have long encouraged migrant caravans to traverse their territories and they have allowed illegal immigration into the US as a means to divert their failures into the laps of American taxpayers. Migrants aren’t trying to escape problems in Mexico, they ARE the problem in Mexico. The more of these caravans the Mexican authorities can get rid of, the better their economic situation appears.
I wrote about this dynamic in detail in my recent article ‘Illegal Alien Economy: How Foreign Nations Exploit U.S. Borders For Profit’. Specifically, I examined threats made by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum over the possible taxation of remittances (US dollars) sent by migrants from the US into the coffers of Mexican banks and households.
She asserted that her government would “mobilize” against the US should conservative politicians continue their campaign to stop illegals from transferring money back home. Remittances are the single largest source of revenue Mexico receives from foreign countries. Their economy loses significantly without this cash flow.
Beyond the issue of easy money, though, is a singular reality which I have reiterated for a long time: Central and South American nations cannot survive the influx of returning migrants. They will be suffocated by the very same illegals they originally foisted upon the US.
The purging of millions of undesirables reduces Mexico’s poverty stats, homeless stats, unemployment stats and crime stats. I have to laugh every time I hear smug Europeans criticize the US for our violent crime rates – Only now are they beginning to understand what happens when you overwhelm a western nation with a third world demographic and a third world mentality. We certainly have our own home brewed fatigue-ers, but taking on millions of fatigue-ers from other nations does not help.
It’s difficult to keep crime low when other countries offload their problem children onto your front lawn.
Furthermore, labor data proves that illegals have been stealing American jobs and driving down American wages. It’s no coincidence that employment numbers for native born Americans have spiked in recent months as migrant jobs have decreased in tandem with deportations.
There’s a lot more proof in the pudding when we examine what is currently happening in Mexico, though.
Riots in Mexico city are breaking out and they are growing more violent by the day. Residents blame “gringo immigrants” and “digital nomads” for moving into the country and driving up food and housing costs. They also complain that white visitors are allowed to stay on their visas for far too long and that they refuse to “learn their language or respect Mexican culture”. Gee, that sure sounds familiar. Has Mexico gone MAGA?
The irony is, of course, that conservative Americans have been warning about the same issues caused by migrants from Mexico and we have been called “racists” and “fascists” for doing so.
There are approximately 700,000 US citizens residing in Mexico today, a tiny number compared to the tens of millions of Mexican migrants in the US illegally. But somehow, gringos are to blame for rising prices?
Realty experts in the Mexican market say that the cause of the shortages is a slowdown in housing development (Didn’t they tell us we needed illegals to help build more houses to counter the housing shortage in the US? Why don’t they put all these returning construction supermen to work in Mexico?). This explanation doesn’t account for inflation in other areas of the economy such as food and energy. So, are white tourists and ex-pats making things more expensive south of the border?
No, this is nonsense. Perhaps in a handful of resort towns the case might be made, but the truth is that Mexicans are being propagandized into thinking US migrants are the cause of their woes when it is actually the mass return of their OWN CITIZENS from the US.
Some of these people have been deported by force, but armies of them are self deporting and the Mexican economy simply can’t handle the strain. The surge started in 2024, even before Trump took office, with many illegals leaving the US because of inflation as well as the expectation of a conservative election win.
The riots, though, are probably starting now because of the mass deportations. Mexico City in particular has been inundated with migrants, many of them from other countries in Central and South America, as they look for a new place to settle outside the US.
