He stated that money sent from Mexican workers in the United States to their families back home reached a record $12 billion.[29] Two years later, in 2005, the World Bank stated that Mexico was receiving $18.1 billion in remittances and that it ranked third (behind only India and China) among the countries receiving the greatest amount of remittances.[30]"


*shrugs* you can believe what you want to believe, but if you think that there is any state government that wants to turn away significant income these days, I think you are nuts.

...And heck, if you do, then I guess you shouldn't go to Arizona, huh? It's the same reasoning as to why I wouldn't live in California anymore, since I think that their state legislators and leaders are crazy and are bankrupting that state.
