Last year was the first time remittances have dropped year-to-year since the bank started tracking the money 13 years ago. Mexico’s second largest legal source of foreign income after oil, remittances plunged 3.6 percent to $25 billion in 2008 compared to $26 billion in 2007.

You mean some people get into the US without going to an Embassy interview, the civil surgeon and paying a bunch of fees?
