"The motive of immigrants is to come here, get a job and to work hard and send money back home to support their family"
- Atsumasa Tochisako, the chief executive of Microfinance International Corporation
The New York Times quoted Mr. Tochisako in the article "Entrepreneurs Cater to Immigrants' Financial Needs" yesterday. The piece focused on how not only to decrease the costs that immigrants face when they send money to their countries of origin for their families, but also how to help give those immigrants more control over how their families handle their money.
