Whoah I remember this...
And every Presidential candidate (including our beloved President) wants to give them a free ticket to America.

*** He wanted to give this to the Mexicans ONLY. Well I remember EVERYONE up in arms as to why he singled out the Mexicans? I remember the editor of a caribbean newspaper writing that Bush was curryfavoring with Vicente Fox, and not to do at all if he wasn't going to give everyone a chance at amnesty. BTW, I also know ILLEGALS too and not everyone has a crack at amnesty. A lot of people I knew who disappeared, I found out were sent back. They were nice but still you break the law, suffer the results.

Vicente Fox has the deal of the millenium. Send out all the pauper mountain people to the US by life in Mexico impossible. Get a steady flow of US hard currency by people sending money home.

I personally witnessed an illegal trying to use a SSN card. The lady at the emergency room desk threw at back at him saying it wasn't his and why does he need his friend to speak for him? The man could even write in spanish, his own language. They sent him packing. I was astounded.

RE: "Vicente Fox has the deal of the millenium"

Mexicans who immigrate here legally are welcomed but there is also the corrupt Mexican government's Program for Mexican Communities Abroad. Its unwanted citizens are being herded across the border. The corrupt Mexican government expects, however, that those citizens remain loyal Mexicans and meddles in our affairs to promote that end. Mexico considers itself to be a nation without borders -- a kind of Mexican diaspora. google has tons of links.

The corrupt Mexican government's consulate personnel and corrupt Mexican government's corrupt state governments are also active in creating home town associations (HTA) or "clubs" here in the U.S. that fund projects and public services in the corrupt home towns back in Mexico. google has tons of links. Gee, how do Mexican citizens have so much money left over to send home to family and government? Why don't we just have the various social services send the checks directly to the corrupt Mexican government?

I have found that there is very little interest in viewing ILLEGAL immigration from this angle. In practice it is "legal" because both of our political parties want it and likely have agreements with the corrupt government of Mexico.

The only way to stop ILLEGAL immigration is to stop it at the source: the Democrat and the Republican Party leadership.
