This is not a conservative/socialist issue...

Then why bellyache that they can "afford" lots of socialist programs, as if it's a problem that they don't implement them? Hypocritical.

The issue is whether they should be allowed to illegally export their poor to other countries?

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.

If they keep all of their citizens within their borders, they can tax themselves however they damn well please.

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.

You're wrong...the Mexican elite do want the poor out of their country. Period. If Mexico wants to develop a thriving, stable economy they have to build it from within.

I just heard for the first time on the news over the weekend that Mexico is for the first time facing a severe labor shortage in the ag sector.
