I'll play the whinny bitch on that point however I have to tell you that this effectively a reality (they send most of the money home thus disrupting the "attended flow of money within the own country") however this is a short/medium term problem; in fact most of the persons sends money over there to pay a better education for their kids (so they don't have to wash the plates in a restaurant), better housing, some even plan to run business in their countries.

At the long term it's a tremendeously effective way to lever a local economy thus creating new markets for YOUR economy. Ok they won't buy supercomputers or airplanes tommorrow but think about your kids in 20 years maybe they would appreciate that.

Unfortunately none of this will happen in the Latin American countries in question as long as they continue down the corrupt path that are currently on. They need wholesale changes in order for what are you saying to occur, and in order for that to happen allt he people who have the ambition and ability to make the change need to stick around and do it. Instead they come here. Then they try to to bring their families here. I understand why they do this, we just cannot afford to continue to finance it.
