In class we talked about the impact of immigrants on their country of origin. Think about the role of economic remittances and social remittances. Where do you think these trends are going? Should we be in the optimistic camp? Why or why not? In other words, do you think remittances (social and economic) will eventually lead to development of some of these countries, or will they just create a new dependency? Please be as specific as possible.
