The question of how to deal with the hundreds of thousands of illegal Mexicans entering the United States each year has become a divisive issue across the country.
President Bush signed a bill last year that authorized the construction of a 700-mile fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, which would cost billions of dollars. Related Stories
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has called the idea of building the fence "deplorable," and said today on "Good Morning America" that he wanted to strengthen the Mexican economy to keep Mexicans there.
"Let me tell you, I think that the only way to stop migration is to provide to the people opportunities here in Mexico," Calderon said in an exclusive interview with Diane Sawyer.

I know this will probably be a futile request, but could you all actually watch the interviews and can the typical knee jerk comments without watching the interview.
Sure it could be stopped. All we need to do is adopt Mexico’s laws and attitude towards illegals.

A shame too that this is the only issue many Freepers want to talk about whenever Mexico comes up.
BTW: Senor Calderon: Enforcement of laws against employers and better MORE COMPETANT enforcement at points of entry (sorry folks, but ICE s-cks) will help eradicate the problem.

Nah, Im too busy and I have a jumpy knee.

Hes actually right. And a real quick way to raise the standard of living in a country is to export poverty, if you can find a buyer.
If your boat is leaking, plugging up some holes is better than plugging up none.
His eyes, opened at last! The wall will make it necessary for him to follow through on what he now admits heknows. BUILD THE WALL, NOW!
Go beat your drum somewhere else!
Well a Hungarian was exported to the US, and if he had not been "exported" we would probably be not communicating in the way we are now.
That "exported poverty" was one of the founders of Intel, which makes the chips so that you can pound away your insults on your keyboard.
“I know this will probably be a futile request, but could you all actually watch the interviews and can the typical knee jerk comments without watching the interview.”
Wow, condescending and preachy on the very first post. Who would have guessed it from the champion of illegals?
Presidente Calderon
U.S. Constitution, Article 4 Section 4:
"The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government,
1. The act of invading; the act of encroaching upon the rights or possessions of another; encroachment; trespass.
Hmm, let's look back at history, khruschev's wall really brought an economic boon to the now defunct soviet union.
Those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Are you telling me Andrew Grove swam the Atlantic and snuck into New York illegally?
Amazing.
Thanks for all your continued efforts on the forum to enlighten the FRignorant regarding immigration.
Exactly. Not only can they be stopped but those invading this country can be deported by using both direct and indirect means.
would they want to stop a migration of Americans into their country?
Maybe would should all go down there and fix their country for them.
“Hmm, let’s look back at history, khruschev’s wall really brought an economic boon to the now defunct soviet union. “
What a completely ignorant statement.
The Russian wall was built to keep people IN.
The wall we want will keep illegals OUT.
Let them apply for immigration, not just wander over the border.
