But it is a worldwide problem, which is why I sometimes post links to stories on MigrantRights website.
you are poor, there are no decent jobs nearby, and you want money so your kids can attend school, you can have decent food, and maybe even a tv and cellphone. So usually one or two people in the extended family finds a job overseas, to send money back.
why? No jobs here, and when there are jobs, they don't pay as well.
so today's migrant story from the Manila Bulletin: 400 000 undocumented Filipinos are being threatened with deportation from Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia).
statistics on "irregular" immigrants.

an unrelated item: Israel has gifted the Phil RedCross a water purifier/ desalinization machine for emergencies.
Called GalMobile, the water system can purify up to 20,000 liters of seawater a day and 80,000 liters of brackish, muddy or contaminated river water and bring it to World Health Organization standard
