The entire operation was documented in photographs which are now circulating via email. If you've ever wondered what over $200 million in cash looks like, click here.

This is not the only place in Mexico US dollars are going. Think of those literally millions of Mexicans residing in the US, legally and illegally, who are making American wages and sending millions of dollars to Mexican individuals. They would collapse without our money, and I wouldn’t be ashamed, because we don’t owe them and thier anchor babies a single meal. Think about all those gas stations with mexican flags and all those Western Union phone booths that say Enviar dinero a mexico.

This is not the only US dollars are going. Think of those literally millions of British residing in the US, legally and illegally, who are making American wages and sending millions of dollars to British individuals. They would collapse without our money, and I wouldn’t be ashamed, because we don’t owe them and thier(sic) anchor babies a single meal. Think about all those gas stations with Indian flags and all those red phone booths that say ‘Telephone’.

It’s a scandal!
