How much money is being sent to the Mexican economy by Mexican workers in America?

I wonder if anybody has the number or a rough estimate on how much money is being sent from the united states to mexico by means of mexican workers making it in the US and sending it to their families in mexico? and maybe a follow up question , what would happen if that money instead was going to American workers , which inturn would stay in the good ol US of A stimulating OUR economy. Would that benefit outweightt the cheap labour costs?

Answer:
I know I had a friend/co-worker who turned out to be an illegal from Coloumbia. he sent everything to his family... barely kept enough to pay rent and eat. Walked everywhere... had 2 sets of clothes and slept on the floor of his 1 room apt.

I can understand *this* kind of illegal immigrant... its the ones that want free social security, welfare, etc... that piss me off.

I was sad when I found out... didn't even get an address so we could stay in touch... he was just all of a sudden gone one day...
i think the money is sweated for ,and earned down to every penny,go work and u will get paid ,nothing is free pal
Last I heard it exceeded $16 billion a year.
I DON'T KNOW BUT i KNOW IT AS TO BE A LOT.

Since January, 2006 $30,497,658,194 and climbing. Go to the link to see the changes. That is just Mexico.
About two yrs. ago I heard a talk show, radio host say what that amount is (immigrants sending $$ back to Mexico).
I'm sorry I can't remember the amount but it was astronomical.
I was amazed. Your follow up question is a good one. I think you've hit on a very good idea. I, for one, think to much money goes to other countries while I'm struggling to pay my health insurance costs & worrying about social security staying alive.
America doesn't need to stimulate its economy. Jesus.

edit:
Parklin, your answer is incredibe. You're worried about health care and social security? That's funny. Why don't you try living in Central Mexico for a couple of years and then talk about your "struggles". You can't be serious.
I understand it will be $62 billion this year, once again the largest source of foreign revenue for Mexico, after oil.

I wonder how they can afford it?
