flag U.S. immigration crackdowns are disrupting remittance flows, threatening economies in developing nations dependent on funds from American immigrants.

flag America's tightened immigration policies are disrupting global remittance flows, threatening economies in developing nations that rely heavily on funds sent by U.S. immigrants. flag In 2022, U.S. immigrants sent nearly $80 billion abroad—more than U.S. foreign aid—supporting families and national economies, particularly in Central American countries where remittances make up 20% to 27% of GDP. flag While some nations have seen declines, others report temporary surges, likely due to urgent transfers before potential deportations. flag Experts warn this spike is unsustainable, as reduced immigration and increased deportations could lead to a sharp drop in remittances, risking economic instability and deeper poverty in already vulnerable regions.
