Central American receives almost $20 billion a year in remittances from the US. The GDP of these countries have been boosted by almost 20%. Yet these countries if anything have become worse.
I’d like to see a link of that 20 billion in remittances which I think means money sent home
I honestly don’t know...
I do know Mexico population growth is stagnant due to emigration and some rural areas have loss in male population due to it ....Oaxaca and Michoacán and Chiapas and Guerrero
USA foreign aid to what we’ll call,Central America from Panama to to the Rio Grande is total 640,000,000
About 20% in military aid
Guatemala and Mexico account for half that figure and Panama is third largest recipient
