They all escaped communist shit holes to be here, so they can work their dicks off and send money back to their families and send their kids to college.
Sending money back to communist shitholes doesn't sound very based to me.
If taking care of my family comes first, I probably wouldn't try to escape my communist shithole country without them and then prop up my homeland's sham economy with foreign money. Everyone on here is all fired up to fight commies, but then act like leaving your family behind with them is FUCKING BASED. Doesn't make any sense.
The average ANNUAL income in Guatemala is $1,619. If you're making $18/hr framing houses - you make more in 2 weeks than your dad makes in a year back home.
I'm not saying I want to engineer more remittances - because you're right - it bleeds equity out of our country. But at the individual level, sending your mom a years salary cuz you're flush with cash - that's based.
That being said - my story perfectly illustrates why we need merit based immigration. That way we're not depressing wages for the trades, and sending engineer money over to India

Family goes first, mi amigo.
Taking care of your family is most based thing that there is.

Yes, It does not make sense.
The world is not a perfect place.
Leaving the family is the last resort effort for them and a great sacrifice. Cubanos are one of the finest Americans, relatively speaking.
My left behind relatives were killed so no one to send money to. Does that make you feel better?
That no money is leaving the country? Yes. That your relatives were killed? No.
The freeloading invaders aren't who we're talking about.
You wouldn't? It's just different circumstances.
