TrophyHusband 0 #1 February 5, 2007 i'm doing a research paper on migrant workers sending money to mexico. while i have found tons of info in the form of percentages and demographics, the one thing i can't seem to find from a solid source is an actual dollar amount. i've found some numbers thrown around, but sourcing for this data is sketchy at best. one artical mentioned that it got it's info from the world bank, but a search of their website showed my just how retarded i am at mining information. it would be a great help if someone could point me in the right direction. also, just to keep it more speakers cornerish, i believe that the mexican goverment encourages workers to come to the us be any means nessecary because the money they send back is important, if not vital to the mexican economy.

Fewer immigrants coming to the US, and less work for those who choose to stay, means less money sent home. These remittances are the third largest source of income for Mexico, after petroleum and tourism, amounting to between $6 and $8 billion per year."I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

TrophyHusband 0 #6 February 6, 2007 thanks for the link. i've rea many articles that say remittances are second behind tourism or 3rd behind oil and tourism. either way, its a hell of a chunk of the nation's economy. enough for the mexican government to be strongly opposed to border enforcement. i just need to ferret out the original source of this data.
