Are you nuts?....It is not this nations responsibility to feed or employ Mexico's citizens. Had we “closed” our borders long ago the Mexican people would have revolted against their government and be building their own nation by now. But with perry's polices to harbor them that will never happen...and the Mexican government loving the revenue flow to their nation from their citizens in the US...will never stop their people from coming here....
If you would read my comment again, you may want to take back what you said. Are you that brain dead that you didn’t get it? My point is that illegal immigrants from Mexico add no real value to our economy as they do not have the education or skills that we need going forward in the 21st Century. Instead, they suck up resources and social services and are actually an expense. That being said, the US should encourage lawful immigration from people around the world who can add real value to our society. We need scientists, engineers, hi-tech workers, health care workers, teachers, etc. There is no getting around the fact that given our drop in population replacement, we need more workers to fill the tax void to pay for the boomers Social Security, etc., etc.
The US is not the undeveloped place of 100 or 200 years ago - our needs have changed.
