    The US likes to quote that 11 million illegals are in this country and they have the low paying jobs

    they are not teachers, policemen, Gov workers, etc. they have to work in the fields collecting the fruit, vegetables that we eat, manual cheap labor and they DO NOT make MIN. wages

    just like the Nicas in Costa Rica don’t make the same income as the AVE. CR citizens

    VS. the people that are leaving the USA have a nice retirement
    the ones leaving are the ones with the cash flow is 3 times bigger

    [u]We have 51% of the population on some sort of government assistancegger[/u][b][/b]

    that is a true statement

    So;

    if 6 million leave

    and 10 arive

    we would be + or –

    don’t think so

    when you lose a share of the market

    you still LOOSE

    the 10 than arrive have to work 40-50 years to reach what the 6 have done in all thos years

    people are leaving for a REASON

    6 million of the USA citizens have left the USA

    Belize, Costa Rica, Ecuador and even Mexico

    and the trend continous, more are leaving

    that means, 6 million people are not paying

    property taxes
    gas
    groceries
    food
    mortages
    loans
    etc.

    and I wonder WHY??

    JP:

    go and visit the country first
    A fair warning: Spanish is spoken there, the culture is completely diferent and also the religion, food, clothes, etc..

    leave all your opinions at home and try to understand a NEW set of rules and those are the Costa Rican ones

    when in Rome, act like a Roman, think like a Roman
    you will have to adapt yourself to many things while in CR

    keep a positive mind and you can live in France, Jamaica, CR

    just like visiting a family member, you follow the rules of their house

    Con una transacción de $500 millones, GE adquirió el 49% de las acciones del grupo BAC el 11 de mayo del 2005.

    En cuestión de un año, le sucedieron la venta de Interfín a Scotiabank por $293,5 millones, de Banistmo a HSBC en $1.770 millones, y de Cuscatlán y Banco Uno a Citigroup.

    Big banks are buying the little ones in CR to the tune of close to 1 billion dollars, NOW these outside banks make the RULES.

    SURPRISE, SURPRISE

    Big money makes money

    Small money is spent away

    Case in point;

    Warren Buffet, Bill Gates and other BILIONAIRS are giving away part of their fortunes to charity

    How much is to much???

    1 million
    1 billion

    know what?? I have worked all my life to sustain my standard of living and when I die my kids will inherit all I have

    but in the meantime; I get phone calls from them

    “Dad; I need $$$ for a car battery and I am broke.”
    “Dad; I have a job enterview and don’t have the right clothes.”
    “Dad; I need to go to work but don’t have GAS MONEY.”
    etc…

    you are not taking anything when you DIE with you

    had (past tense) many brand new cars
    the best shoes and clothes
    @ 4 bedroom house for myself, wife and the DOG
    and everything ELSE

    NOT ANYMORE!!!!
