MÉXICO CITY.- the National Council of Population (Conapo) predicts that during Vicente Foxs 6 year term, around two million Mexicans will emigrate to American soil; a number that is equivalent to the emigration of the total population of the Mexican states of Baja California Sur, Campeche and Colima.
Family networks and interconnections
Rodolfo Tuirán, president of Conapo, in statements published in El Universal, said that the population of Mexicans (by birth or by heritage) that lives in the US comes to 23 million, of which three million are there without documents.
Tuirán says that these numbers represent eight percent of the population of the US and constitutes a key piece of the economic engine of that country, in addition, they do not displace American laborers and whats more, they generate higher profitability for businesses by means of being a source of cheap manual labor; and most importantly legal or illegal ", all the Mexicans pay taxes just like the other citizens of US ".
According to the study The Mexico to United States Immigration the best economic scenario published by Conapo, by 2005 there will be an annual emigration of 380 thousand Mexicans to the US. Besides being necessary; the migratory phenomenon, " by its own characteristics, has acquired a strong momentum that is very difficult to stop ".
Francisco Alba Hernandez, researcher for the School of Mexico (Colmex), said to El Univesal that because of the dynamics that has been generated, the migratory phenomenon " is going to continue to last some 10 or 15 years because radical change in the near term is not anticipated ".
Meanwhile, Mónica Vera, researcher for the Center for North American Research (CISAN) of the Independent National University of Mexico (UNAM), emphasizes that migration has maintained constant flows throughout the years because Mexicans have managed to create networks and non-legal labor markets, through the multiplicity of contacts that they have established in both nations.
Nevertheless the experts claim that most migration revolves around networks of relatives and countrymen, which have been generated on both sides of the border. Currently out of 2,433 municipalities that make up the country only 93, claim to not have had anyone emigrate to the United States according to last population census in 2000
Mexican presence on the border
What stands out from the numbers is that 60 percent of the Hispanic population in the US is of Mexican origin.
The Mexican population residing in US territories can be divided into three groups: 8.5 million are immigrants, seven million people were born in the US of Mexican parents and, finally the rest, who were born in the US of Mexican heritage.
According to studies made by the population censuses, 90 percent of the Mexican population resides in 12 states of the US: in California 41 percent, Texas 25 percent, Illinois 6 percent, Arizona 5 percent, Colorado, Florida, New Mexico and Washington tie with two percent each and, Nevada, Georgia, New York and Carolina of the North with one percent each.
In addition the revenue from remittances constitute the third largest currency source for Mexico, only after oil and manufacturing exports, according to data published by the Bank of Mexico.
Actually I do not believe that at all but I do believe this article is representative of the official and unofficial Mexican beliefs.
A country that has a severe inferiority complex vis a vi its northern neighbor.
Because of that, there is a compelling need to take credit for the economic sucess north of the border whether true or not.
I could care less what their beliefs are if they are illegal. Officially or unofficially!!

Thanks for this little jewel. I am going to have to save and enlarge this and frame it.
Nah. That would be mean. NEVER be mean. Ask King Jorge....
Bush lies about this bill and gets a pass from the liberal media because they know who these illegal immigrants will vote for once they become citizens of both the USA and Mexico.

The mexicans firmly believe that the growth of the US economy is based on the exploitation of the unskilled mexican laborer. That is how they justify coming over here illegally.
They pump far more than that into the economy in terms of labor. And that is a minor disaster for the Mexican economy. The "23 million Mexicans" (I find it more than a little annoying that they're calling 13.5 million Americans "Mexican", but that's another story...) in the US are adding to our economy, not theirs. The $9 billion they get back is hardly compensation for the economic activity that stays north of the border.
Because of their much lower education levels, Mexican immigrants earn significantly less than natives on average. This results in lower average tax payments and heavier use of means-tested programs. Based on estimates developed by the National Academy of Sciences for immigrants by age and education at arrival, the lifetime fiscal impact (taxes paid minus services used) for the average adult Mexican immigrant is a negative $55,200.

O hell man, for less than minimum wage you can hire someone to scrape the gunk from under your toenails. I thank God everyday for illegal immigration, cause I like having gunk scraped cheap. I met some Mex illegal the other day who wanted to sell me stolen gasoline. I politely declined and wondered to myself how F***ed up a society is when folks are walking around offering discounts on hot fuel products.
Are you actually trying to tell me that people that can't even spell computer, or space shuttle, or nuclear weapons (much less work on or produce such items) believe this?
If that is the case, they need to move south instead of north.
