It's true, but this is also how legal residents get remittences to their
families abroad as well.  Walmart has agreements with three different 
wire transfer companies so you can go in and transfer to about anywhere.
Lots of bodegas also have similar wire transfer arrangements available
because of the sheer volume of remittences going out.  

Lots of folks come to the US for a year or two, work for minimum wage and 
Vigo all their money home to relatives who build a nice house for them and 
bank some of the money,and then they go home and live for a decade on that 
year of American income.  Because money here isn't like money there.
