I received an email recently from a 55-year-old, unemployed American who had been to 14 States looking for work.

Well at least he's had a tour of a great country.

He couldn’t find any, he said, because "I am not a Mexican." Despite a desire to work, he could not compete with the cheap wages Mexican illegals will take.

I guess that's because as Vincentee would say, Mexicans will take jobs that "even blacks" won't take.

Usually you can tell very early in an article if it's bogus or not and I would say that this one only took two sentences to ring the bell on the Bogus Meter.

:) You think he sent the email by hiting a wireless router with his laptop while holding a "Will Work For Food" sign at the street corner?

Notwithstanding the author's attitude, it does make sense to look at the macroeconomics of Mexico in the current environment. Somewhere back about twenty years ago we had to bail out the peso to prevent the collapse of Mexico, and it seems nothing much has changed down there except for a growth in exports to the US. If the US economy cools and even hits a downturn this year, Mexico could well go into a crisis situation. Their population growth has been horrific, and despite oil wealth, their abortion of a government has done little or nothing to develop the country. If Mexico has an economic meltdown we may need more than a border wall to protect ourselves.

My first thought was; if he was unemployed how did he get to 14 states.
