The rich and corrupt elite that runs Mexico, regards the American people as the biggest suckers in the world. They are not the only ones. The whole world views America as a nation of stupid suckers.
Americans are suffering with a 9 percent unemployment rate, yet, Mexico is grinning happily with a much lower unemployment of 4.8 percent. That is almost half of the American unemployment rate. You can view the Mexican unemployment rate statistics here: http://www.tradingeconomics.com/mexico/unemployment-rate
In 2002, the Mexican unemployment rate was 2.22 percent, which is lower than that of Japan and Switzerland today. Mexico is a parasitic economy. The Mexican government solves its unemployment problems by exporting its poor and jobless people to America. The rich in Mexico pay low taxes, or avoid taxes all together, and they spend very little of their government budget on the poor. The Mexican government puts the responsibility of educating its illiterate people on American taxpayers. Public schools in many American schools belong to Mexican students.
American taxpayers also provide health care to Mexican citizens in American hospitals. Hungry Mexicans are fed by American taxpayers, through food stamps. But worst of all, America denies jobs to its own jobless citizens, and gives them to illegal Mexicans. Yet, Mexico has a much lower unemployment rate than America! Hello????
If jobless Americans want to find jobs, they have a much better chance at finding employment in the much healthier economy of Mexico. But the Mexicans are not stupid suckers like the Gringos up North. They strictly enforce their immigration laws, against illegal immigrants from poor Central American countries like Guatemala, Nicaragua, and Honduras. Mexico's southern border is one of the best guarded in the world, and America could learn a lot about border security, from how Mexico patrols its southern border.
I don’t believe the US’s or Mexico’s bull___t unemployment numbers.
All we get are lies, damned lies and government statistics.
But they tell the truth about inflation.
Corruption and lack of ethics has overtaken the USA at all levels from politicians to government to corporations to media to bankers to physicians, to lawyers, to many of the people working to scam the system.
This mentality has always existed in Mexico and it is moving north.
Apples and oranges... Just look at the fact of corperate taxes. American corperations got to pay taxes on income in other countries to the Government. Others do not need to pay taxes to their home country when income is produce in another country.
We have to fight the government and unions. If XYZ Corp wanted to build an appliance plant in the US, first of all the construction union would force said company to hire UNION 'WORKERS', then the union would want the plant to be unionized.
Also, I believe we are becoming lazy. I don't think you could ask today's kids to pick apples like I did. I know I don't see kids mowing lawns or delivering newspapers any more. Remembver when we had 'fix-it' shops? Today we are a throw away society.
We need to tell our kids that America is still great, but we need to REMOVE RINOS, LIBERALS and MARXISTS out of GOVERNMENT. We need to change our tax code and tell American companies to create jobs here -- or they'll not get tax breaks. We need to rein in the unions and make all states right to work states.
We need to have a ENGLISH FIRST policy. (Then, I'll say after that, Amerindian languages should be helped to survive.) I don't need to press 1 to get someone who speaks English.
Remember this post...With the Solyndra scandal already beyond the boiling point, the Department of Energy pushed through nearly $6 billion more in green energy loans in the final hours of the maligned program. One of those was to another California based company, SunPower, who just three weeks earlier had publicly announced plans to build its 320,000 square foot manufacturing plant in Mexico.
The Mexico plant will produce solar panels to be shipped back to California for a proposed “solar ranch” in San Luis Obispo County that will have a grand total of 15 permanent presumably American jobs. That works out to $82.6 million per job created.
Like Solyndra, SunPower is in a perilous financial condition. SunPower’s stock price has tumbled 94% from the once glory-days of 2007 when the company was worth $13 billion. Based on July 2011 financial reports, the current market capitalization of the company is $800 million and it owes $820 million in debt. You can find a further explanation of what that means in the dictionary under “insolvent.”

I believe that your basic premise is correct...Mexico(indeed, most of Latin America)depends on the US as a place to vent off their poor, who, in turn, send huge amounts of money back to the home country which keeps their economy chugging along. The stats for each of these countries casts an unrealistic picture of a thriving economy...which would totally implode if all their citizens suddenly returned to their home country and the inflow of US money was to cease. I am speaking in general terms for brevity, but, just imagine if only half of the illegal Mexicans returned to Mexico and displaced an equal number of illegal workers there causing them to return to their home country. Biggest Ponzi scheme ever would collapse.
Just imagine the Mafia, Tong Societies, Yakusas, Biker Gangs, and various other activities all cutting into the local narco’s turf. It would be like Chicago on a Friday night during Prohibition when Capone was running things. (On further reflection, things haven't changed much in Chicago since the 1920s and Al Capone's demise.)
Like we’re going to believe figures from the Mexican government? Riiight!
How many Americans are sneaking into Mexico to find jobs?
