[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4845963, member: 24302"] Most people in developing nations are poor, but do not live on landfills. That's the very poorest in some countries. People are aghast that I've been to very poor countries and have lived for a time in some. Mexico has a 40% poverty rate for example. Most aren't in the street begging. They work very long hours, live in homes with several generations including extended family, and everyone contributes. I think Americans would be surprised to see how many cars are here, how many American restaurants, Sam's Club, Wal-Mart, etc. Most of the 60% of Mexico that aren't in poverty are still poor. But they get by. When people come to the U.S. illegally it's not because they're escaping some horrific circumstance(usually). It's because they can get much better pay which they can send home to build a nice home and/or start a business. Many Mexicans actually return to Mexico. It's others who have a much more difficult time getting here who usually stay. [/QUOTE]
