This money should be taxed at 75%.

Taxed @ 150%, pay back for all the freebies they are using.

Probably because fewer Mexicans are home. They are bringing their whole families up here now.

Well, who’s left back in Mexico to send money too anyway?

One in three Mexican migrants living in states where Hispanic migration is relatively new stopped sending money home this year. Anti-immigrant sentiment may be to blame, the Inter-American Development Bank reported Wednesday.

What does “anti-immigrant sentiment’ have to do with them sending money home?

They meant anti-ILLEGAL immigrant sentiment.

I think they’re saving up for the digital broadcast switch in 2009 (or bail money).

I know what they meant, I was just quoting them. I still can’t figure out what that has to do with them sending money home.

Or maybe they're still sending the money back but are lying to the pollsters.

I've been lying to pollsters for years.

Is there anyone remaining in Mexico to send?

You might be right.

Artist Alejandro Santiago is undertaking an ambitious plan to repopulate his southern Mexico hometown, devastated by migration to the United States, with an army of life-size clay figures.

Anti-immigrant sentiment may be to blame

Well, its either that or global warming.

They can all get home loans now here in the US so they are probably making house payments.

Maybe they’re afraid to come out of the “shadows” because someone might report them to ICE??

Maybe they lost their job because their employer was afraid of being raided and sent to prison??

Toss me a bone here, sheana!!
