This is not a conservative/socialist issue, this is a legal issue. The issue is whether they should be allowed to illegally export their poor to other countries? If they keep all of their citizens within their borders, they can tax themselves however they damn well please.
Then why bellyache that they can "afford" lots of socialist programs, as if it's a problem that they don't implement them? Hypocritical.

That's an abuse of the word "export", and it presupposes a fallacy: is it in fact possible to "export" the poor of a country? Is it even something one would want to do, were it even possible? When the last poor person is "exported", who cleans the septic tanks and picks up the trash?
Not to mention that it's complete balderdash: Fox loves illegals not because it reduces the number of poor people, but because it generates an inflow of wealth into Mexico, as these illegals start sending checks home to Momma. To suggest that immigration is all about eliminating the dregs of society is silly when we already know that's false.

I'm against illegal immigration, but I'm for legal immigration. So I suspect we won't see eye-to-eye on that, either. Unsurprisingly, I don't wish socialism on the Mexicans. I don't even wish it on the Arabs, and I don't like Arabs.
