Haitian-born Wesley Saint-Fleur • Discussing how, in the wake of 2010’s Haitian earthquake, he and his family moved to Brazil, a quickly-growing part of the world where he’s found it easy to get a job. Not everyone has been so lucky, however: Nearly 4,000 people have moved from Haiti to Brazil since the devastating earthquake in 2010, and many of them have found things just as bad in Brazil. While Brazil’s economic growth has slowed recently, unemployment is still extremely low and the biggest beneficiaries have been those working low-income jobs, where salaries have grown sevenfold in recent years. Even Americans are heading down there for jobs. source (via • follow)
I gotta tell ya. I’ve been preaching that the best way to fix the supposed “problem” with “illegal immigration” in the USA is by helping Mexico and our Latin American countries to increase employment. Instead of pouring money into a wall, border patrol, the War Against Drugs, immigration police - we should spend that money on stabilizing the economies of the South, helping them to eliminate corruption and tear down the drug cartels. Humans are like fireflies and the light is fair labor.
the answer to all life's questions ... is a question.
