The amount of money being sent by migrants across the entire world reached $530 billion last year, making it a larger economy than Iran or Argentina, the data from the World Bank showed.

This is a global issue. It is also an incentive for the Third World to send more and more of its population to the developed countries as a matter of policy. Is it any wonder why the Mexican government doesn't clamp down on its border with the US? They get more in revenue from their nationals in the US than they collect in oil revenue.

The way things are going here, we are soon likley to be exporting our people to better economic countries and sending that wealth back to the USA (sarc, sort of).

As we continue to export mechanized agriculture there is nowhere else for them to go but the sweatshops of the world. At a secondary level, the same is true for the export of manufacturing technology where printed money is loaned for big industrial projects.

Yep, it's global.

I said it before: Charge the Mexican govenrment $2000 per month per illegal immigrant and watch the federales protect our border for us. The Libs have got to love this idea. It's a new source of revenue for them.
