Thread: Remittances Slowdown has a long reach {Update}

Rice growing requires a lot of standing water.

No kidding, start planting those beans. These people whine like they don't know how to take care of themselves. If you have a piece of dirt, or a skill start using it.

My aunt told me a story about two girls she went to school with. Their father was a blind man that built a dwelling out of sticks for his two daughters and he farmed and gathered food every day, while they went to school. The girls were clean and had a meal and roof over their heads. The man was poor and blind but could provide and take care of himself and his family.

I have no pity either. Remittances have made those people lazy and needy.

AMEN DIXIE. I KNOW THAT WE AMERICANS ARE HAVING IT HARD BECAUSE OF THE RECESSION. BUT I KIND OD LOOK AT IT AS SORT OF A BLESSING IF IT IS GOING TO SEND SOME OF THESE FOLKS PACKING AND GOING BACK HOME

"It's worse than a recession," Javier Aparicio, an economist at Mexico City think tank CIDE, said of the effect the decline in remittances is having on places like La Parota. "It's like a big depression."

If they handled their own country more responsibly maybe these Mexicans would not have to come here to work and make money.

The attention is always externalized toward people suffering in other nations instead of Americans that are falling down like flies in a sealed jar.

Why are these human interest sob stories always about others and not Americans?

W. they are after the bleeding hearts of America! After all there are quite a few that think we should just give them everything. Not realizing the end results
