"Last year migrants from poor countries sent home $300 billion, nearly three times the world's foreign aid budgets combined." (Source: New York Times, 11.22.08)
What's great about this is that this type of aid is far more likely to go directly to people who can best use it to increase their living conditions rather than to propping up corrupt governments who keep the living conditions of those people poor.
Question: Why aren't more people who really want to help the poor of the world fighting for easier immigration?
