    It would only be a financial drain if you were sending that money back home.

    Only if you limit your view to your nation. ‘Back home’ across the border it would most likely also buy food etc. And that would be fine.

    The real drain is the infinite black hole of the rich guys pockets. That is where all the money is. Don’t blame people who send money to their loved ones to help, just because there is a border.
