Remittances to Mexico Surge 9.2 pct in August

Where do these numbers come from? How they can tell all this money is going to Mexico? And who is it going to? Isn't that private information? Conventional wisdom says that it goes to relatives. But it is just as likely that it goes to the criminals responsible for shipping illegals into the US. Illegal immigration is a criminal enterprise and organized crime collects from the people it moves when they get a job. And the people the illegals leave behind are there to make sure that organized crime can collect.

While it's private to the extent that the information cannot be obtained by a citizen request, the government is allowed to gather data for reporting purposes. The IRS discloses quite a bit of this data on their website. It's just so boring that nobody wants to read it
