In the first trimester of 2010, the amount of dollars sent by migrant workers in the US to Mexico registered the worst seasonal plunge in five years, the Bank of Mexico reported this week. According to the country’s central bank, about $6.6 billion in remittances entered the country’s economy during the first four months of 2010. The sum was nearly 9 percent less than the $7.25 billion received during the same period in 2009.
