I made the mistake of going to the local Wam-Mart last Saturday night.
I sure wished that Wam-Mart would advertise when they are having Juarez night for all the illegals.
I don't mind the Mexican shoppers as that is good for local trade.
What I do mind is whole families blocking isles talking with other families.
Most have nothing in their baskets but are their just to enjoy visiting with others and feeling the cool air conditioning.
At customer service I observed several Mexicans who could not speak or would not speak English. Theses three fellows telegraphed/wire transfered $3,400 dollars to relatives in Mexico.
They were reluctant to speak with me but since I speak a little Spanish was able to make out that seven of them were sharing a low income apartment downtown.
I think that it is OK to take care of loved ones and I would do the same thing if presented with the opportunity to do so.
I wonder how many American born kids would do the same thing if their families were living in poverty.
However, after seeing such an amount go South of the border I can agree with the posters comments about the 126 billion.
Thats money that needs to be spent here in America.

the 126 billionIT IS NOT 126 BILLION TO MEXICO. IF YOU CLICK THE ARTICLE, IT SAYS 17 BILLION TO MEXICO.
THE 126 BILLION IS WORLDWIDE AND SPECIFICALLY INCLUDES TRANSFERS OUT OF SOUTH AFRICA AND MALASIA AND ALSO PROBABLY TRANSFERS INTO THE US
