Actually, it probably WILL strengthen their economy. The Mexican illegals that I knew there sent 90% of their money back to Mexico.
Why do you think that the Mexican government is so upset about this? They have much stricter laws regarding illegal immigration than we do, and they don't even allow LEGAL immigrants to participate in political protests. The fact is that they have pushed 10% of their population here now, and that next to Oil, this is Mexico's biggest source of income.
