"A just law should recognize the contribution of Mexican immigrants to the economy of the U.S."
Mexico's relative prosperity is greatly dependent on the US for its markets, for factories built there which serve US markets, for tourism, for retirees living there, for businesses and homes built by Mexicans living in the US, and the billions sent home by Mexicans living in the US.
So, again, is he prepared to reciprocate with legal status for US citizens in Mexico?
"The U.S. economy needs the Mexican workforce to be able to prosper,"
If he believes that US prosperity is due to cheap labor, will he recommend that Mexico open its borders to Honduran and Guatemalan workers?
"Way too low!"
Conservative estimate is over 10,000,000. Wet back sand ticks!
From what I've been reading, W endorses this policy as well.
Verrrry interesting. The mexican government will not allow any gringos to work at a mexican corporation without a Gov't Issued Work Permit. But we are suppose to legalize all illegals...unbelievable.
Yeah, and I want all those illegals deported. But tell you what, pal: I'm a reasonable man. I'll support the giving of legal status to illegal mexican immigrants under the following condition: that for each illegal alien given legal status, El Presidente Vincent Fox has to eat 10 worms while walking on a tightrope suspended above the Grand Canyon on an internationally televised Fear Factor.
Ummm, I think he already has.

Pretty soon the illegals from the south will be outnumbered by the estimated 12,000 illegal Canadians the OBL is so concerned about.
Why dont we just make Mexico a state and be done with it?
Sure they want us to make any Mexican crossing over a citizen because the biggest part of their income comes from the poor bastards working here and sending money home, Plus the ones coming across carry Mexican drugs over like a Pizza Delivery boy.
"Mutually" must mean something else in Spanish.
By about 30 million.
Somebody has been hittin' the "happy smoke" again.
Ok Here is the only deal availiable! We deport back to your Tin Horn Country all we catch so you can get legal papers on them. Then we decide who gets in. You do all the paperwork and make sure they get registered on our tax rolls so they can help pay their fair share of expenses. We will make sure none of our companies hire any undocumented criminal illegal aliens that slip by your system. The coyotes are very hungry so make sure they are legal taxpaying citizens!
Works for me.
I don't care what he wants. His countrymen are here illegally and should be deported post haste. They can come here through legal means or not at all. Makes me not one whit of difference.
"legal status?"
Okay. Let's officially designate them
hostages and designate Mexican diplomats
pay toilet attendants.
Yeah, and I want a house made out of gold!
Someone should ask why they leave Mexico in the first place and what is this azclown Derbez doing to remedy it. And secondly we do not need cheap labor we need citizens.
Illinois, by not discriminating against "undocumented immigrants," discriminates against every US citizen.
Who has sued the state to enforce the law? Anyone?
Fixing this problem is going to get very, very nasty. But, the problem must get fixed! And damn soon!
