What more evidence do you need, to convince you that Americans are suckers in their dealings with Mexico? The Pakistanis think that Americans are suckers, too, but that is another story.
Every state in America must enforce immigration laws, just like Arizona and Alabama are doing. That is the bare minimum that America should do, if it considers itself a self-respecting nation. Contact your state legislatures, for action on this issue.
Also, Republican primary voters should not allow Newt Gingrich to get away with his amnesty proposal. All illegal Mexicans must be sent home. Period.
In making the case against illegals, you must note that Mexico has the low unemployment rate associated with First World nations, while America has the high unemployment rate associated with third world nations. The Mexican government, and America's traitors in both parties, have turned America into a third world hell hole. Wake up, Mr. and Mrs. America!
Do they count the thousands that are working for the CARTELS?
How do you measure “unemployment” when you don’t have any jobs?
At the same time, FWIW, Mexico has successfully shipped much of its poverty northward across our border (illegally of course).
America has a high unemployment rate because it pays people NOT to work. In fact, since non working people have access to free food, housing, healthcare etc. it might be the best deal going!
Mexico’s corrupt elite have outsourced social-welfare and education spending for its lowest classes to the United States. Their policy is to simply send them North.
LOL. Now the border will be closed- by the Mexicans!
Guess where Honda, which has non-union plants in the U.S. and no labor problems, is building its next “U.S. plant?”
I think that using GDP per capita figures can be bit misleading for developing nations like Mexico - just because their economy is large, doesn’t mean that the average citizen has a decent standard of living. Wealth in Mexico often varies greatly by geography as well - the southern parts of Mexico, for instance, have living conditions little better then in Guatemala.
That said, it it true, for the most part, that by a world standard, Mexico is a fairly well off nation, and it is only in comparison to, say, the US, that they are poor. This is a reason why Mexico has itself suffered from an illegal immigration problem with other parts of Latin America.
Mexico's minimum wage is about the equivalent of $3.50 per day.
I don’t believe the US’s or Mexico’s bull___t unemployment numbers.
All we get are lies, damned lies and government statistics.
The truth is far worse than what they are reporting.
Obama’s scribes in the media are working overtime cooking the books in a effort to save their bastard boy-king.
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.
Like we’re going to believe figures from the Mexican government? Riiight!
How many Americans are sneaking into Mexico to find jobs?
