"We need skilled Mexican workers in the mining, steel, oil and gas exploration industries. We need waiters, nurses, cooks, construction workers, landscapers. Canada needs Mexican workers," he said. "The U.S. loss is our gain,"

Umm.. OK...if you say so.

Bypassing US for Canada? I'm down with that.

I won't miss being treated like a criminal and not knowing when I can return home," he said.

pssst, you are a criminal.

Cool, maybe we can hand out comic books at the southern border extolling the virtures of Canada and load them up on one way buses to the northern border. Then bill Canada the transportation costs.

I have stated for a while now we could balance the budget by following the Mexican example and sending all of our poor and criminals north. We could create pamphlets and comic books on how to get to Canada, how to get Medicare, how to get free day care, how to get welfare etc. etc. We could save Trillions over a decade.

There ya go!! Canada!! It's much, much better in Canada! Y'all run along to Canada now, beautiful Canada, welcoming, vibrant, magical Canada... Yay, CANADA!!!

This year he'll head way north to pick chili and cucumbers. Dallas is much closer to his home in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato, but there are other aspects of the U.S. immigrant experience he is happy to do without: "I won't miss being treated like a criminal and not knowing when I can return home," he said.

Great!

Don't let the door hit you on the

on the way out!

Proposals for a guest worker program have drawn fierce opposition in the U.S.

Uh, that's only half of it. What is proposed is guest worker WITH amnesty for being here illegally and citizenship at the end. That is way different than an H1B guest worker program, which we have now.

Where they are likely needed is in Northern Alberta for the Tar Sands projects......QUITE a Change in temperature for these Mexican's.....but, if they can get there and they can work, fine.....but, if I remember correctly, Canada only allows foreign workers in their country for a total of 5 years. (My husband has "done time" in Canada for his US company.)

This is a complete lie. Through the '90s (I was aware of this illegal immigration culture early, for some reason) papers would periodically print stories about "They're Going Back Home!!!". Especially after 9/11 many "The Immigration Patterns Have Reversed!!" stories were printed.

Needless to say it was never true. The influx of foreigners was steady the whole time, and also steadily accelerating.

This BS story is just more of the same old trick, only now we're supposed to believe they're all going somewhere else, in this case Canada.

Funny, there are about 20 million Canadians, so will 20 million illegal Mexicans move on up there? Taking every job and house? Doubling the population? Nonsense and lies.

Canada needs Mexican workers," he said. "The U.S. loss is our gain,"

*Snort* Yeah, right. Good luck, Canada. Get back to us in five years and let's see if you still feel that way.

[Tzimisce]

...think they'll demand Canada be returned to Mexico? Think they'll demand the people in Quebec speak Spanish? Think they'll refuse to pay taxes for the socialist healthcare system?

[primeval patriot]

Another gagger from The Dallas Morning News.

While the Canadian agricultural worker program takes in a few thousand workers a year, the U.S. has as many as 6 million Mexican illegal immigrants.

Does anyone know how many illegals are here? The Stupid Party certainly hasn't helped clarify that number.

Why just last week our Senators were claiming twelve-million.

It's many more than that, and let's not forget about their dependents.

"I won't miss being treated like a criminal and not knowing when I can return home,"

You are a criminal and you can return home anytime you like, we sure as hell ain't stopping you.

[TASMANIANRED]

good. Send them more.

[KittyKares]

Maybe we can talk Canada into taking a few million from within our borders.

USA should not be encouraging Mexican President Vincent Foxe to send his welfare cases to the USA. The USA can not even provide jobs or medical care for it's own people.

The USA has been sending it's manufacturing jobs to China for a very long time, and is now sending it's technical jobs to India and we have almost nothing left for the citizens of the USA. Americans should be kicking and screaming about what is happening to them.

Just a few days ago, I saw Mexican nationals doing work at the University of Missouri. The upsurpers are here!
There are Univeristy educated people in the USA who have never found jobs and still live with their parents. Our legislators are not defending, "we the the people". We are expected to feed the world's hungry, to fight the wars, and now to absorb Mexico's welfare rolls. God help America!

Oddly enough, we won't miss you either, Reyes.

"The U.S. loss is our gain,"

Take them all. Then, in ten years, you can be forced to learn spanish, instead of me.

[LK44-40]

Amazing! I had been fantasizing, during this immigration debate, about a "safe corridor" to connect the Mexican and Canadian borders for just this purpose.
