Remittances by Mexican workers in the United States to their families in Mexico tend to reduce the gains from immigration to the United States and increase it for Mexico.

Remittances sent by Mexican workers in the United States to their families in Mexico represent a financial transfer from the US to Mexico, effectively redistributing some of the economic benefits of immigration from the US to Mexico. This can reduce the net gains from immigration for the US economy while increasing the financial benefits for Mexico through the inflow of foreign currency, supporting families, and potentially stimulating economic activity in Mexico.
