News21blog2008: Economic Crisis Puts a Strain on Immigrants

  • Church Pastor · 6 months ago
    I am an american missionary working in Sonora, Mexico and have personally seen several friends come back to live in Mexico - some because they were deported, others because there was no longer any work in the north.

    The remitances (money from the north) is drying up. Some men, who are now living without work, would rather live without work here at home that be separated from their families.

    Immigrants on foreign countries are the worst being hit by the global economic crisis,
    Besides the high impact on product prices, impact on remittance is one of the amjor cause of job loss in some countries.
    Nowadays, It's best to have your own business rather than being employed.

    It is really true that the immigrants take the big hit during recessions, not only for the big impact in product prices but also in job because they are the one who has the big possibility to loss job. Even for those who are applying, this situation is also hard for them because there is a job shortage since the other companies are shutting down, unable to pay their workers. Of course the impact is not only for immigrants because when the recession attacks some businesses close and everybody suffers financial challenge. The only way to cope up from these problem is the payday lending establishments that offer quick cash or or cash advance.

    well situation you are describing isn't a direct effect of the economic crisis. And what is described here has been happening even before the crisis. I'm talking about Europe now, but the immigrant problems are the same all over the world. Of course economic crisis fueled the situation, and actually made people look in the numbers, which didn't change much from the last year for example. It's all about the mechanics of immigration, first father decides to leave for the foreign country, works hard, 3 jobs a day, and sends some money home - family thinks that life in that country is amazing and they immigrate too, putting strain on the finance of the 1 working male of the family - to the extent that it becomes unbearable, it's harder to find job for females and they immigrate back... this has been going on for a while now here in Italy. I'm a digital photography master, and I've photographed several places this people live, work...it's fantastic how they can survive with just a minimum. As a photographer it's my duty to report....

    Unfortunately, any economic crisis always hits the poor the hardest. It is a shame what these people have had to go through, or anyone for that matter. I had just finished getting my real estate license before the market took a dive and was never able to use it due to lack of home sales in our area.
