Immigration is great when they truly want to become Americans and contribute wholly to America, but what our southern born enemy’s do is to infiltrate our economy by stealing jobs from Americans and then sending their ill-gotten gains back to their country, where their real loyalties lie.. If the money were going back into our economy we could prosper, but to add insult to injury, not only do they take money from stolen jobs, but they take welfare and SS benefits and send them them out of the country via these corporate banks. This is like farming without care for the soil. We are in a war for our infrastructure and nobody seems to know it.

The Mexican citizens cross our border illegally. Some of them find work, and many of them send their earnings back to Mexico. Those earnings have added up to nearly $17 billion in the past year. ‘Remittances’, as they’re politly called by policy wonks, are expected to become Mexico’s primary source of income this year, surpassing the amount of money that Mexico makes on oil exports for the first time ever.

Meanwhile, the U.S. Trade deficit with Mexico for the last year surpassed $45 billion.

I read that Remittances were down sharply in the last 6 months of 2007 and wasn't expected to rebound. Overall though I do agree with what you said.
