Ironically the onerous regulations imposed by our own government has pulled Mexico's economy from a third world dungheap to...almost...industrialized nation status. I visited Mexico in the late 1980’s and it was as most people still think of Mexico, garbage in streets, unpaved roads, ramshackle huts. I went back last year on business and was amazed, except for the Spanish, you would think you were in any major American city/suburbs. Now I'm sure once you got out of into the rural areas you would still see the problems and poverty, but they've come a long way.

I pretty much discount anybody taking credit for it, instead, we should consider who to blame for it.

To start with, former Coca-Cola executive and Mexican President Vincente Fox. He, along with US President W. Bush and others in their cabal, formulated the Plan Puebla Panama, now known as “The Mesoamerica Project”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerica_Project

All the vile multinational corporations and internationalist politicians thought this was a great idea, to make the Americas much like a “super-European Union”. That’s right, they actually wanted (and still do) that.

And true to form with such schemes, everything that could go wrong with it, did. That is, except the parts that hurt people.

The basic concept was to turn southern Mexico into the hemispheric trade nexus, of air, sea and land commerce, both highways and railroads.

But to do this, Mexico first had to kick all the Indians out of southern Mexico. So Vincente Fox basically said to them: go North, to the border, to work in the factories, or better yet, keep going into the US.

Immediately, there was a huge influx of illegal aliens, for which W. Bush wrung his hands, but did nothing, since the Chamber of Commerce (that include multinational corporations) types are all in favor of cut rate labor from “semi-illegal” aliens.

However, nature intervened to again whup nurture, or in this case, internationalist schemes.

Suddenly the Mexican birthrate has plummeted from high growth, the just sustainability, at about 2.3 children per family. This means that if nobody does anything, in a decade the illegal alien problem would drop like a rock anyway. That is, the number of illegal aliens from Mexico would be small enough that they would not impact our economy.

Almost needless to say, the Chamber of Commerce clowns are very unhappy about this, because it will also cut off their supply of “semi-illegal” labor. So likely right now, they are scheming some way of boosting the number of illegal aliens from some other country or countries.

Exactly!

One of Mexico's largest exports is illegals to the USA.

One of Mexico's largest imports is money from those illegals in the USA.

Mexico isn't going to give that up. Last year's return from the illegals in the USA was $21.6 Billion.

Illegal Aliens Sent $21.6 BILLION in Cash Back to Mexico in 2013

Yep. Right now there are about 45 million foreign-born in this country. These are cummulative numbers since immigrants die or return home while others enter. This is a net figure. The last decade was the highest in US history.

In 1970 one in 21 was foreign-born, today it is one in 8, the highest in 90 years; and within a decade it will be one in 7, the highest in our history.

Good news if it were only true. The stream across the border to Texas is never ending and appears to be increasing. Parts of Texas are just overwhelmed by illegals, most of which cannot speak any or very little English, are unskilled and uneducated.

Bush 41 did double the number of legal immigrants by increasing the cap, but the 1965 Immigration Act is what changed this country forever. The vast majority of our immigrants now come from the Third World. 87% of them are minorities as classified by the USG.

It's not just Mexicans who are enticed to illegal immigration. It is just easier for them.

And of course the Democrats and the RINOs want their illegal votes.

...undocumented immigrants may be streaming back over the U.S.-Mexico border, headed for lucrative energy sector jobs back home.

Progs/RATs/Democrats:

"We must finish the Mexican Border Fence NOW to stem the tide of Mexicans!!!"

Exactly. I heard they make up around 70% of the illegal immigrants. But that is just because they are close. If those numbers fall, the open borders lobby has plenty of other places from which to recruit.

YOU are correct
and thishis is exactly why Perry is an idiot

“Ha! As long as there are subsidies for illegals to come, they will come. Free healthcare, tax deductions for all your kids outside the states, earned income tax credits, and more. Why would they stop coming?

Total feel good nonsense. Mexicans will continue to use America as their suburb they feel free to go back and forth from. As an economic zone to make money and send it home. This will increase not decrease unless we fence the border and institute computerized visa controls at ports of entry/exit. Neither is very expensive. Maybe 8 billion total for both.

Without this we will drown in Mexican-Hispanic-Asian anchor babies who will be voting one day. Many are already. And immigrants vote 80% Democrat. Adult anchor babies must vote 99% Democrat

*********12 million illegal aliens is a lie. More like 30-35 million of them. The rock bottom Lowest number is 27 million. We have tons of illegal alien Asians. As in China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India. Plus millions of illegal Hispanics who not Mexican. They are Central American and further south. In the Hispanic world (media etc) word is out that we have idiots and traitors serving us in Washintooon DC. That we don’t treat illegal immigration seriously

Any guesses at who steps up to “partner” with PEMEX? China will be first in line, and undoubtedly will supply their own workers.

The California Commies bought Chinese iron and steel for the new Bay Bridge. Chinese workers came in with this tratorous deal to work on it. I would love to know the split on how many Chinese vs Americans were working on it

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.

We don't have a merit based system. We have a kinship system that brings in hundreds of thousands of high school dropouts annually. And do we really need 1.2 million immigrants a year while 20 million Americans are unemployed or underemployed? Immigrants are taking jobs from Americans and depressing wages. If we truly had a shortage of labor, wages would be increasing, not decreasing.

These immigrants send over $48 billion a year back to their home countries. And immigrants vote more than two to one Democrat.

As long as we have free stuff, a lot of ILLEGALS will flock to this country.
