The US has never advertised for new social welfare customers in a foreign country before, as I believe the government selling food stamps in Mexico now.
What we have found out recently is some immigrants immigrate to work, while others immigrate for freebies. Surprise surprise. Those that came to work have returned south of the border.
I have no doubt the surge will continue as soon as the economy improves, if it improves.
I wonder -- Obama is going to drive our economy into the ground. At the same time Mexico's is rising.
Even if we start to recover after 4 years, Mexico will not be that far behind the US in terms of quality of living and considering that Obama wants to reduce our quality of living, they may actually be close to us.
people won't migrate north then...
