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.
Pedro Amaya came to Virginia from El Salvador eight years ago. Like thousands of Hispanics in the U.S., Pedro and his four brothers work in construction.. |
He lives with his wife and baby, and every month he sends money home to his parents in El Salvador. ‘Sometimes $300 per month, sometimes $200, they have another small income, but it is not enough for living. The economy in our country is not doing well.’

TLALCHAPA, Mexico - Gerardo Luviano is looking for somebody to rent his Social Security number.
Mr. Luviano, 39, obtained legal residence in the United States almost 20 years ago. But these days, back in Mexico, teaching beekeeping at the local high school in this hot, dusty town in the southwestern part of the country, Mr. Luviano is not using his Social Security number.

All Americans, everywhere, should be required to watch videotapes of members of the Mexican military pouring into Texas bringing humanitarian aid to the victims of hurricane Katrina. Doctors, nurses, medical supplies, and life’s essentials were loaded on trucks and the Mexican convoy trudged into Texas.
|
Americans would have to be told, because fewer than 9% of Americans are bilingual, these news videos did not once demean the American government for its alleged mishandling of the Katrina crisis. There was no rhetoric: (more…)

EAGLE PASS, TX - A pilot program that jails all illegal immigrants crossing into this Texas border town from Mexico has led to a dramatic fall in numbers attempting the journey, the U.S. Office of Border Patrol said on Friday. A program known as Operation Streamline II, instituted on December 12, is aimed mostly at non-Mexican illegal immigrants who were arrested and released because Border Patrol agents did not have sufficient space to jail them.
|
The blanket crackdown is also being applied to undocumented Mexicans who were previously subject to criminal background checks and released back over the Rio Grande without charges. (more…)
