Mexican officials terrified of loser class coming home
But your lawns will look great! And your bathrooms sparkling - for only a few pesos a day! Right, Senator?

My sources of information tell me that Mexican officials are literally "terrified" that they are going to have to deal with the class of people who have come over here during the last 20 years or so who have little or no hope in Mexico. They are well aware of the fact that the numbers are close to 30 million, not 12 million. Most of the illegals here are those who did not want to study in school or who are criminals (fairly small percentage of the total). Aside from the drug war, they have maintained some political stability by ushering these people out of the country and into the United States and they do NOT want them back.
I never said anything about the futility of ending drug traffic, what I have said is that simply attacking the problem from the supply side is futile, which it is.
As long as a profit can be made selling a good, there will be someone willing to supply it. Therefore, the only feasible way to reduce the flow of a certain good is to attack the demand, so that it becomes less profitable to trade in that good. This is basic economics 101 stuff, it applies to EVERY good, not just drugs.
Re #11......For YEARS I have said put a 55% tax on all WU, Amex transactions to any place overseas. Always get crap about it.
