Things are not comfy cozy down there. When we hear about mexicans living 10 to an apartment up here, they are happy to live that way. They are sending their money down to Mexico to provide for their families.>>>>>>

Too bad you *fail* to find *any* fault with the decades corrupt mexican gov't, as to the living conditions of nearly HALF the country's population, even tho mexico is the 9th economy in the world. Heaven forbid, mexico's rich PAY TAXES, & the gov't invest those taxes to better the country FOR ALL it's citizens.

I don't like to see money going to other countries, but most of that money they send IS earned by them. We wouldn't want the government to control where we put OUR money, would we? >>>>>>>>

ROTFLMAO.......The gov't CONTROLS much of my money thru TAXES, 'FEES', & INSURANCE, which by 'our laws' I have to PAY or BUY..........Have the 'remittances' to mexico SLOWED the invasion of the USA at all?? Vicente's making plans to ship 25 MILLION more north, under GWB's 'proposal', maybe you have room for them in Kansas ??

Last, I would like to appeal to the people who say that Mexicans should wait for a "visa". At this time, it can take YEARS for a Mexican national to make it up here through normal INS protocol. It costs LOTS of money and time, which almost all impoverished Mexicans don't have.>>>>>>>>>

Any reason you & Vicente seem to agree that mexicans are some how *ENTITLED* to fill at least HALF of USA's immigration openings ?? They clearly refuse to assimilate, since you have a translators job, & I have to press one, NUMEROUS times daily, to conduct business in ENGLISH.

If we want them to come here legally, we need to at least help them do it. The 3 year guest worker program sounds reasonable...>>>>>>>>>

Oh yeah, it *sounds* reasonable, but is it workable ?? Even you in your own post question just HOW we could track any 'guest workers'.

("It is impossible to monitor these people. How can we monitor 11 million illegals when California can't keep track of 30,000 sex offenders?")

Unfortunately, I have used all of your arguments before. I was known on this site as one of the loudest opponents to Mexican immigration, but have since realized that waving my fist does NOTHING. Your comments do not solve any problems. They just generate more hate. Kicking out all the illegals is not only impossible but will open a few other cans of worms. If you have some credible solutions, let's hear them instead of just throwing insults.

Not until SOMEONE thinks of some reasonable ideas, will anything get done. I thank president Bush for opening the dialogue, and can't wait to see where this debate goes. It can only help. Solutions won't come about until we can really find a feasible solution. Nothing important is ever easy; it just comes down to getting a PERMANENT solution to what we want without destroying everything around us, and not spending all our money on it.
