You might be surprised how much money illegals (and legal immigrants) actually send home. I used to work a pretty big company and one of the janitors that always worked in our area was a immigrant from Mexico. In Mexico he was a teacher, but he made so little money that he couldn't afford to support his family. He was able to get a work visa so he came to the US. He said he works two jobs and sends about half of his earnings home to his wife and kids.
If you go to any city that has a lot of migrant works or immigrants/illegals in it you will find a handful of those stores where all the signs are in Spanish and all they provide is calling cards and cheap money transfers. I had read that the amount they send out of the country reaches close to a billion a year.
