Would it not be more accurate to say, "... money sent back by emigrants"?
Yes it would. Both legal and illegal.

It would cost less to raise the poor of the EU, USA Japan and China out of poverty because there are feweer of them. So by your argument, it would do more good to start with the wealthy countries and work down the list, dealing with the countries that have the greatest number of poor people

Yes, that is my argument. Use our resources to help our own citizens and legal immigrants first. Why is that wrong?
