In order to keep their profits up, they've supported politicians who look the other way, and opposed politicians who support our laws. So, when you actually think this through, PoliticalCorruption plays a role in the money sending trade. And, PoliticalCorruption is a definite cost to we Americans.<br><br>Yet, oddly enough, "YouNotSneaky" didn't figure that cost into its calculations. Thus it's an "economist" and not an economist.TLBMon, 02 Jun 2008 23:51:18 -0000http://bravenewfilms.disqus.com/8220christian_roots_of_anti_immigration8221_manassas_va/#comment-5191298Of course, many people who profit from illegal activity hide behind "demonized" illegal aliens in order to keep making their money or obtaining PoliticalPower.TLBMon, 05 Nov 2007 06:22:19 -0000
