Migrants are a positive force in the world, says senior manager of BM

The more than 200 million migrants in the world are a positive force this year and sent " home " 500,000 million, said in an interview with Efe Dilip Ratha , director of remittances and migration of the World Bank ( WB).
Original Sindhekela , an isolated village in India where young studied under the light of the single street lamp and where he began his journey into the highest echelons of the BM , Ratha regrets the growing anti-immigrant sentiment in the world.
"The main challenge facing migration is currently being considered as a threat to sovereignty, to national identity , national culture ," says Ratha, who elaborated a little over a decade the first global index of remittances and is widely considered an authority on the subject.
" There is a perception that foreign countries arrive , they keep our jobs and change our appearance and that is the most important challenge for migration ," he adds .
Ratha believes that the greatest number of deportations reflects this growing sentiment against immigrants Saudi Arabia deported more than 370,000 immigrants between November 2013 and March this year and the U.S. deported 368,000 last year. Most sought re-enter the country through the border with Mexico .
Start the spring meeting of the IMF and the World Bank in Washington
The figures show otherwise handled Ratha .
"Migrants sent approximately 500,000 million home and save 500,000 million in the countries of destination, saving about a fifth of their income ( ... ) , so we're talking about the income of migrants exceeds 2 billion dollars, " he explains.
" And contribute to their destination countries offering labor, knowledge , investment , ideas , paying taxes and beautiful things as diverse cuisine, colors, music ," the director of the BM .
If the estimated 232 million international migrants would create a country , it would be one of the largest economies in the world .
The World Bank calls off alarms and the expansion of Latin America "disappointing "
" Gross Domestic Product of migrants in developed countries would be the sixth largest economy in the world," said Ratha today .
To fight against anti - immigration sentiment that according to the World Bank gains strength in European countries like France, Germany, United Kingdom and Switzerland, in February approved a referendum to impose quotas on immigration, Ratha recommended to put the data on the table .
" The facts shows up is the most effective way to demonstrate the contribution of migrants ," says Ratha, who recalled that the OECD recently published a report showing that , contrary to what some argue , migrants contribute more than receive in the localities in which they reside .
"The world is very large. Has to be room for everyone," Ratha says.
According to the latest figures published by the World Bank , remittances to developing countries this year will reach 436,000 million, 7.8 % more than in 2013. The agency expects that figure to rise to the 516,000 million in 2016.
Total remittances , including heading to developed countries , will reach 581,000 million this year , compared to 542,000 million in 2013.
The main receiver will be India , where they will reach $ 70,000 million , followed by China , the Philippines and Mexico, which receive 22,000 billion in remittances.
The savings of the diaspora also increase , with Latin and Central the lead, whose savings totaled 146,000 million in 2012 , compared to 116.000 million in 2009 , according to World Bank estimates .
The data also show a fall in the cost of remittances , which fell below 8.4% in the first quarter of 2014 , compared to 9 % a year ago.
One in seven people in the world is international or internal migrants, those who move within their own country, according to the WB .

The World Bank calls off alarms and the expansion of Latin America "disappointing "
" Gross Domestic Product of migrants in developed countries would be the sixth largest economy in the world," said Ratha today .
To fight against anti - immigration sentiment that according to the World Bank gains strength in European countries like France, Germany, United Kingdom and Switzerland, in February approved a referendum to impose quotas on immigration, Ratha recommended to put the data on the table .
" The facts shows up is the most effective way to demonstrate the contribution of migrants ," says Ratha, who recalled that the OECD recently published a report showing that , contrary to what some argue , migrants contribute more than receive in the localities in which they reside .
"The world is very large. Has to be room for everyone," Ratha says.
According to the latest figures published by the World Bank , remittances to developing countries this year will reach 436,000 million, 7.8 % more than in 2013. The agency expects that figure to rise to the 516,000 million in 2016.
Total remittances , including heading to developed countries , will reach 581,000 million this year , compared to 542,000 million in 2013.
The main receiver will be India , where they will reach $ 70,000 million , followed by China , the Philippines and Mexico, which receive 22,000 billion in remittances.
The savings of the diaspora also increase , with Latin and Central the lead, whose savings totaled 146,000 million in 2012 , compared to 116.000 million in 2009 , according to World Bank estimates .
The data also show a fall in the cost of remittances , which fell below 8.4% in the first quarter of 2014 , compared to 9 % a year ago.
One in seven people in the world is international or internal migrants, those who move within their own country, according to the WB .
