Comments on: Mexicans In U.S. Sending Less Cash Home

12% Drop In Remittances In August Is The Largest Reduction Since The Bank Of Mexico Started Keeping Track

An Obama initiative if he''s elected will find him funneling billions out in aid to help mostly African nations. The money should be reduced and diverted back to our own nation. There are many reasons why Africa has so many starving; things like corrupt governments, land that can no longer sustain agriculture, ignorance, a lack of education, poverty and over-population. Never mind the issue of a lack of jobs, since most of these people refuse to do anything but be tribal and living off of the land.

Go by any construction crew on any highway in any state and there will be illegals working for them. Nobody will stop them.

No one living in this country,making a living while receivcing public assistance of any kind, should be allowed to send money anywhere except back to the gov. that is supporting them. And no one living in this country as a citizen should be allowed to put their money in another country as a tax shelter. Live here toatlly or go somewhere else. I am tired of working 15hrs a day to support these types,while not getting ahead myself

So what exactly have you been doing about STOPPING the illegals from getting in, anyways?

"but when you get on here sticking up for illegals who steal our resources I feel the need to point out we could take you if we wanted to" Posted by getoffmine1 at 04:16 PM : Oct 01, 2008

Actually I wasn''t REALLY sticking up for illegals. I don''t like people entering the country illegally either. I just wanted to know how you would feel and what you would do,though, if you were desperate and needing a job and money for your family to live.

And as far as being easy to just walk in and take what you wanted, do you think it would be that easy?
I think you may be surprised at what you would find.

Oh the poor little criminal alien dears! Maybe their families could go to the Mexican government and get some aide to help them make ends meet now that our economy is slowing things down for the illegals.

I have been saying for the last few years - tax wired funds at 40%. If you file a legal tax return you would get that credit towards any tax owed. If not then we get the tax money they are not paying. Then it becomes less desirable to work here and support families across the border. And to wire you would need a SS#. If it turns out that one # shows thousands of funds transferred that does not match earned income amounts, put them in jail. I have had enough of this ***.

I don''t get it. Illegals avg. less than $10 per hour. If legal, at that wage they would pay no income tax and get a yearly check for an earned income credit. Why not let them stay illegal and keep the check?
