Immigrants, legal and illegal, are coming from places other than Mexico. We bring in 1.2 million LEGAL IMMIGRANTS a year, so even if there were a zeroing out of illegal immigration, we would still have major problems.

Problem is, thanks to Obama’s failed Socialism experiment and his enviro-whacko schemes, Americans will now have to cross the Rio Grande to find work in Mexico.

Do you think that Obama’s illegal backdoor amnesty for the “Dreamers” has anything to do with more “children” entering the US illegally? When you reward something, you get more of it.

Governor Perry tries entirely too hard to find reasons to minimize the illegal alien problem. His remarks on the issue tanked his presidentail bid in 2012 during the first debate or two in which he participated. A lot of “heartless” voters probably remember.
And here he goes again. If he could break this border state politician, pandering habit, he might become a viable presidential candidate.

A paycheck for nothing will attract better than a paycheck for an honest days work anytime.I can remember years ago looking out from my house in Mass. surrounded by snow and miserable cold, and wondering why immigrants from warm climates would be in such great numbers in the Boston area.
What's the attraction? What's here that they haven't got in the warm area they left. The answer, Free money free health care, free rent etc.
Kalifornia is even better as the climate is much nicer.- Tom

...so, our fate of being a sovereign nation is in the hands of a failed state after all, not our own political leadership protecting America by enforcing its own laws. Thanks for clearing that up, Rick.

Depends on the type of LEGAL immigrants we’re getting. If they are entrepreneural, brainiacs, educated, law abiding, and willing to assimilate and obey our laws, I don’t see any problems with that.
To: Capt. Tom
Of course politicians are slobbering over the hispanic vote (as if it were monolithic) but the Governor seems not to understand that there is an army of government bureaucrats at the federal and state levels who see illegals as job security.
They would just as soon see them go home as they would lay themselves off.
Something needs to be done about them first. I would suggest a great big tax cut, starve and shrink the beast, but after the past 6 years of government spending I doubt we'll see another tax cut in our lifetime.

I wouldn't have a problem with entrepreneural, brainiacs, educated, law abiding immigrants willing to assimilate and obey our laws, unless they are socialists.
I have a big problem with those.

But, in large part, they're not. Thanks to Teddy Kennedy's immigration law, they're largely third world relatives of third worlders who immigrated here previously.

That chart is why America is finished. 100 million new citizens in twenty years and almost all of them from Third world pits. Third world people with Third world ways.
And it really is the fault of George "New World Order" Bush and his two reprobate sons, Bill and Dumbya.

You mean Mexicans for Climate Change? Without question Obama will make their trip back very difficult.

I guess it comes down to how you define a ‘nation’. If it is almost exclusively defined in financial terms then let’s just do away with our borders. However if a nation is largely defined by its people and culture then Houston we have problem.

The numbers in the table are cumulative, about 40 million legal immigrants added to our population since pre-1990 through 2010?

Mexico’s economic growth rate is around 6% per year.
If they can get the violence from the cartels under control, they may have a problem with American illegals in a few years.
To: SeekAndFind
It seems to me that Mexico is encouraging its lowest strata of society to go to the USA.

The new jobs that result from the energy boom, Perry predicted, will attract immigrant labor that would otherwise come to the United States.
So, immigrants illegals in Mexico will stay there to work, and illegals in the US will move back to Mexico ... both groups giving up the US gravy train?
