Thread: Calderon: US should fix economy, then immigration

The average remittance sent South by a Mexican immigrant is 15% of income. Most of their income here goes to housing, food and clothing bought here. Most of the remittance money that goes there goes to manufactured food, clothing and housing. Much of what remittance recipients consume could be produced locally or bought from nearby sources but is instead made in Mexico's cities and purchased in supermarkets or stores. Wal-Mex Walmart de Mexico for example depends on remittance money. The more they produce their own food the more they will save the more they purchase goods produced locally the more the communities will have jobs.

The economic leach speaks. Those remittances are drying up.

Let's hope his plans for the NAU dry up too!

Carolinawoman--The NAU is not just Calderon's plan.

Calderone's got some stones, I 'll give 'im that. Does he really think the greatest nation on the planet needs advice from the outhouse of the continent???
