They're afraid Americans might come down there, win elections, fix everything that is broke, and then ask for annexation.

The foreign-born make up just 0.5 percent of Mexico's 105 million people, compared with about 13 percent in the United States, which has a total population of 299 million. Mexico grants citizenship to about 3,000 people a year, compared to the U.S. average of almost a half million.

Is Mexico on the way to greatness? All great people are exclusive. Interesting!

Mexican government is very nepotistic, in which elites run it.

At least Mexico lives up to it's Constitution. They have a right to throw out foreign workers in favor of native workers. It is written.

Yet we are expected to ignore our Constitution, open our borders with them and Canada and enter into a Trade Zone umbrella via the treaties we have already signed, that our congress and senate claim they didn't read in it's entirety, who has the time? oops.

And now the coming FTAA treaty that lays us bare, broken, nation-less, sovereign-less, and completely bulldozed. Just keep singing "Don't Worry be Happy".

Please read!

Some years ago I suggested we adopt a law that would grant immigrants and visitors from other countries no more than what our citizens could receive in the immigrant or visitors' native country (with the exception of immigrants seeking political asylum). It's a reciprocating foreign policy, but I really wish people could chew on the idea to see if it has merit.

It seems to me many of the solutions we are seeking in the way of welfare, medical treatment, employment, and immigration itself are already written if we adopt a reciprocating policy.

Just banning immigrants from jobs that Americans won't...

Oh wait, American doesn't ban immigrants from employment.
