Next month, Mexico applies for bailout money…. (Just joking… I think.)

April remittances fell to $1.78 billion from $2.19 billion, according to the bank. It said the U.S. recession has hurt migrants in the United States, while fewer Mexicans are heading north because of a lack of jobs and a crackdown on illegal immigration.
