Trump's Budget to Attack Spending

#23

I just read a story about Guatemalan "house envy" fuelling the migration to the US border. Most Guatemalans live in rudimentary housing and earn only a few thousand bucks a year if they are lucky. Now imagine your neighbor sends 2 of his kids to America. The neighbor starts receiving remittance checks from their kids working illegally in the USA. $2000 a month! The neighbor builds a tall, strong concrete block house with 8 bedrooms. He lives like a king and no longer has to work menial jobs. There is a strong desire to do the same thing, send your relatives to USA so you can live well in Guatemala. So basically a whole generation of young people are pressured to come here illegally. As long as they can live tax-free while burdening all public services, they will continue to come.
