I read an interesting snippet in Atlantic concerning a new program from Ecuador's left wing President Rafael Correa called "Plan Retorno". A quick Internet search brought up the following:

The program, called Plan Retorno, will be open to Ecuadorean citizens worldwide and will take effect for Ecuadorean-Americans in February. To lure them home, Ecuador will raise or end ceilings on the value of cash and goods they can bring back; offer them attractive loans to build houses and start businesses; and let them ship home their cars without paying the usual high import duties....

In presenting the plan, [the President of Ecuador] described emigration as "the most palpable proof of the political, economic and social disaster" of his predecessors. New York Times.

Agreed. As leftist Mexican Presidential Candidate Lopez Obrador once said, "the best foreign policy, is domestic policy."
