Subject: Re: I’m Here “To Take The Money”
Sano thinks a lot are economic refugees, but I did the math and 26% of those who ask for asylum are ultimately granted asylum.

Sure. It's not uncommon to hear immigrants who came for the economic opportunity talking about looking forward to the day they've earned enough to go home to visit their friends and family in El Salvador, Ecuador, Mex, etc.

A recent article in one of the major rags (NYT or LA Times?) interviewed migrants who came here under the radar with the idea they'd work for 20 or 30 years, then return 'home' with enough dollars to retire in comfort. But they never earned that money and now they are broke, too old to work, no social security, no pensions.... and terrified of falling into the homeless nightmare.
