Call members “Division of Hasbano”, In 1976, a group of members of Congress and members of the Senate in 1976 emphasized to work on relevant issues of the population of Spanish origin, that the transfers are an essential pillar of both humanitarian and economic aid.

“Only in 2023, the US population sent $ 93 billion worldwide, according to the World Bank. These transfers are not trivial luxury; they are vital to helping family members abroad cover their food, clothes, clothes, and to meet teaching and education in countries that are usually the basic needs far from arrival.”
