  1. I totally agree. Give them needed aid but also help them have their own independence by helping them establsh they're own businesses etc. It may take years but seems proven just handing them goods and walking away, just creates a more needy ness. It's like coming onto an accident,, helping the guy outta the car and not getting him to a hospital or calling an ambulance. Well, something like that.

  2.  @heythere4970  Well why can't locals create their own businesses? I'm sure there are intelligent natives, that could manage or run a business or three. I'm also talking agriculture, and other things as well. Like Mexico or other limited financially distressed,,cept for drugs and soap operas and limited TV actors,,,if there were more opportunities to have jobs and a decent life, they wouldn't have to worry about crashing the borders and risking everything to escape the lives they hate. Almost seems their own government wants them to be poor and downtrodden. I don't know. But however it happens,, people are just more proud if they have a means to make a decent life for their families or even just for themselves. It has to start somewhere.

  4.  @heythere4970  Thats some of the sadness, is the low wage. And ur dang right about exploitation of the poorer countries peoples. That's why I wish they could have, Their own,, businesses and companies. So big outside outfits swoop in,,build big factories and pay cheap labor prices for hard work. When companies make enormous profits and there are people earning only several dollars a day actually working,,,in those factories,,,that stinks. Obviously it makes for lower prices,,,but at what cost?

  5.  @heythere4970  From bottom to top,,, Right,, considering our new president if not being crooked and almost admitting it and being such a constant reminder of what we don't want in a president, has definitely brought light on crime and neglect in government. By being the perfect example of thuggery in power,, he's definitely made us take a look at things. You're sure right that 5 bucks a day is better than no bucks a day and that was my whole meaning that the home country government allowing it's people to be almost slave like to big US and other nations businesses. No doubt while the government gets tidy sums to allow it. And I'm sure working conditions are fair enough. After all,there are rules of business that have to be followed. Obviously there is no minimum wage laws in those countries, but the businesses probably have to have working conditions be adequate by US and even other countries laws of business. But hell,what do we expect when even here in US, businesses hate,, paying people more, than less if government didn't step in and create some laws of pay.
