ive heard this argument before. its not like theyre sending home millions of dollars. and remember, their economy growing is the only way to slow immigration down. they need money for their economy to grow. this outflow of cash is even comparable to the trade deficit we have with Japan you want to talk about money leaving the country...
Yes as a matter of fact they are sending millions if not billions when you take them all into account. If I get raped for 35-40% of my earnings why shouldn't they.
The FACT is it cracks me up when people say that we have to help another country with their employment problems when we have employment problems of our own. Maybe we should let every single person who wants to come over and work at a sub minimum wage so that the people in this country can get screwed. Then we can deal with all the LEGAL people in this country who are losing jobs to people that are willing to work for less.
Since when did the US become the worlds savior? Espescially when it comes to the liberals who want us to support every damn country out there. Let them get there own s**t together.
you want to talk about money leaving the country...
