Quote of the Day: A notion of progress

“Our politicians are always talking about how migrants are treated in the US, but no one focuses on how they live in their own communities…Something is missing in our country. We need people to say, 'This is my country, this is my home, this is my land.' Tamaula can be a model.”

--Adriana Cortes- the director of the not-for-profit Bajio Community Foundation- emphasized how some community groups are promoting small businesses in Mexican rural towns. The aim is to develop villages and make them more self-sustainable, thus prevent immigration to the U.S.
