[QUOTE]
"In Lawrence, a lot of capital flows out, especially back to the
Dominican Republic....This is a redistribution of wealth to a country
that's supplied a lot of human and natural capital to the US for years
and years. Remittances and the flow of capital and people are an
important part of global and local economies."
