>estimated $6 billion a year that Mexicans in the United States send home to
>their families, usually through money transfers. The idea is that Mexican
>workers, instead of sending money through notoriously expensive transfers,
>would buy products such as refrigerators and stoves on the Internet, which
>Mexican companies would deliver to their families here.
