I can remember a few years back where we wintered in Mexico, a young man named Daniel who told me he wanted to go to the USA illegally so he could raise money to buy his folks a home without dirt floors. He said it would cost $7500usd. When I asked him what the $$ was for he said $2500 was to pay off the Mexican border people and $5000 was to pay off the American border patrol. Now years later he works at a hotel in Cancun...but he's learned English!
