Until a few years ago, the money that immigrants sent back home every month was only their business. But remittances around the world now total more than $126 billion, according to the World Bank. So it's become an issue for economists, governments and politicians.

"Well at least my "dreaming" is not knee jerk hyperbole."
Hyperbole!!!!!!!!!! What part of the following sentence is untrue???????/
Illegals are lawbreakers, they destroy OSHA standards, workers comp, minimum wage, they REFUSE to speak English, and then tey send their money to Mexico. Dream on Dane.
Perhaps you know someone who wants to marry my former cleaning lady Aurora (I declined). She had two kids, nine siblings, and two parents, all living here illegally. Only Aurora and a niece had jobs. I have many more stories just like that to share.
Gotta keep the hyperbole whipped up with hearsay, while Vegas booms, benefitting all.
I'm not going to get sucked into your trap.
I love the smell of a knee jerk meltdown(your reply #23) in the morning.
Well why else do you think Vioncente Fox has such a shiite fit when we thrteaten to stop illegals. Mexicos biggst form of revenue is money sent from illegals.
Economists usually figure that a dollar makes it way around an area five times, in terms of economic activity. So if for example Mexicans send home from the USA $20 billion per year = $100 billion less economic activity in the USA.
Instead of the eagle, our national symbol ought to be a cow.
WANTED: maid at famous California resort. Must be willing to work 10 hour days, 13 days in a row. Minimum wage, no benefits. Good tips.
I worked there one summer to help put myself through college. About 50% of the maids were illegals who spoke no English. By summer's end all the white ladies were fired and replaced by non-complaining illegals. Yes, the white ladies dared to complain about the working conditions. This story is not atypical - it happens all over the US and in many industries (agriculture, food, construction, etc.).
Question: Would that $126 billion a year save Social Security? (sarcasm)
Well currently Fox is about as far to the right as we are going to get in Mexico. Maybe we should shut down the border and send Mexico into recession. Maybe we can let a communist like Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador Mayor of Mexico City win the next election.
Bush may have reasons for his in action (or lack of) on the border.
What would rather have, communist buddy of Castro as Mexican president or a few illegal aliens in the US?

Name the resort.
JMO, you can't, it's a made up story, to whip up hyperbolic emotions.
"Name the resort."
La Costa Resort and Spa in Southern California (Carlsbad) in the 1970's. Any other questions I can answer for you, Dane?
Not $24 an hour if you're an illegal. more like 5 an hour. How do you think KB builds those cheap homes? Only by using 24inch spaced studs?
unnggghhhhh.

Hey, maybe we can stop USAID now. Since these other nations are making a haul from the US economy anyway.
Ya think?

Economic researchers say unskilled workers tend to send money back home more often and in small amounts. They are frequently illegal immigrants working for low wages, working in the service industries like tourism and restaurants.
