Remittances, or cash that gets wired, is a big deal for a lot of countries around the world — including Mexico. Just in November alone, nearly $2.4 billion in cash was sent there, mostly by Mexicans and Mexican Americans working in the US. That's the most money Mexicans have sent back in a single month in the last 10 years. And it's more income than Mexico makes off oil.

It's amazing how many H1-Bs are hired through Deloitte and other “consulting” companies (also Tata, Accenture, etc.) as a substitute for a US worker. They don't count as a foreign worker at that company because they are external consultants.
Thursday evening, I drove to a TA truckstop on I75 near The Villages, Florida to visit with a truck driver friend I met in the Bakken oil fields of North Dakota. During our joyous reunion recounting the recent elections, I went back out to my parked car to get something. Imagine my suprise as a busload non English speaking were unloading to get a bathroom and snack break... Having travelled extensively in Central and South America, I knew they were from Mexico... I overheard discussion about going north... If I hadnt wanted to get back to my friend asap, I would have stayed to evesdrop some more...

And how many stuffed iguanas, wrestling masks and onyx checker sets do we need?
“American growers will benefit, and without `night soil’ fertilization methods, “
I saw a show about that on TV about 25 years ago-——it involved tomato growers.

I’d do the same except that I don’t own any.
Tells you a lot about what is wrong with Mexico, just in this first paragraph.
Let’s not forget HP and HPE soon to merge with CSC and have a new name. Not to mention the hundreds of Indian recruitment and contract businesses taking over.
Good luck to you and your wife. My husband took SS early but I must stay on as long as possible. It’s tough as Americans are let go every week for workers “offshore” or what they now call “best shore”.
We also have to now contend with “fly ins”, that is what they are calling the workers they fly in for so many months, back and forth from India, Pakistan and Bangladesh.
I’d do the same except that I don’t own any.
You don’t need to own a stock to short it. You can buy puts. But, it looks like Western Union is already going down.

So, their “home” is not in the United States?.
Exactly. Pay for the wall.
