每年美国-据估计，墨西哥的汇款最近增加了一倍多，达到至少100亿美元，这增加了决策者、金融机构和跨国移民社区对相对贫穷的墨西哥侨民如何维持如此大规模汇款以及对移民融入美国的影响的兴趣。我们采用2001年洛杉矶县墨西哥移民居住状况调查（LAC-MIRSS），以调查如何个人特征和社会资本传统上与一体化，邻里环境，以及在美国的各种投资影响汇款在2000年。据估计，汇款与传统的融合指标呈负相关，并受到发送和接收地区社区背景的影响。然而，与直线同化理论相反，更符合跨国或非线性视角的是，据估计，汇款与洛杉矶县的移民房屋所有权呈正相关，与公共医疗保险（如医疗补助）呈负相关。
Annual U.S.-Mexico pecuniary remittances are estimated to have more than doubled recently to at least $10 billion – augmenting interest among policymakers, financial institutions, and transnational migrant communities concerning how relatively poor expatriate Mexicans sustain such large transfers and the impact on immigrant integration in the United States. We employ the 2001 Los Angeles County Mexican Immigrant Residency Status Survey (LAC-MIRSS) to investigate how individual characteristics and social capital traditionally associated with integration, neighborhood context, and various investments in the United States influenced remitting in 2000. Remitting is estimated to have been inversely related to conventional integration metrics and influenced by community context in both sending and receiving areas. Contrary to straight-line assimilation theories and more consistent with a transnational or nonlinear perspective, however, remittances are also estimated to have been positively related to immigrant homeownership in Los Angeles County and negatively associated with having had public health insurance such as Medicaid.
