#2 Remittances sent home by Mexicans in the United States are the second-largest source of legal foreign revenue in the country,

That an interesting twist by a propagandist. It's like writing about income from "pharmaceutical" trade rather than "drug" trade. Being a foreigner in the US without authorization is illegal. While not all remittances are from illegals, a lot were and are. That is one of the key reasons the government in Mexico City gave lip service to Washington about the illegal practice.

#7 "Remittances sent home by Mexicans in the United States are the second-largest source of legal foreign revenue in the country"

Is there not a way to tax these, unless proof of USA citizenship is shown?

#8 Tracking a million $400 monthly transactions south is about as easy as tracking a couple million just under $200 anonymous debit/credit card donations to a political campaign.

#9 The Mexican government has a program that matches at a rate of 3 to 1 money sent home by migrants for public works in their towns

Stimulus plan Mexican style.

#10 Prolly for calling for the untimely and unnatural demise of someone other than acknowledged enemies.

#11 btw - what was the crossed line that got funky skunk pooplisted?

A "I'm probably going to get banned for this", followed by a sentence advocating assassination.

#13 i didn't say anything about assasination or getting banned i have no idea what you are talking about. I wrote that i was also a construction worker and am currently unemployed and am not mexican. Also i guess some think that like i was told by a local cop that i must be a piece of shit because i was a construction worker. Nothin about assasination or getting banned

#15 Its funny that this article is out today, because on my way to work I was listening to BBC world news (Sirius) and a VERY similar story of woe for the illegal (european) alien. Its almost like the MSM is on some sort of playbook (listserv) and someone is calling the stories that will be posted for the day. Coincidence? Probably not.
