Two million Mexicans will emigrate to the US

What? Do they all want to cut my grass too?

[Willie Green]

Hmmmmm.... we're supposed to believe that illegal Mexicans work cheap, pay U.S. taxes, and send the rest of their money back to Mexico.
I guess they don't need any money to live on.

National Council of Population (Conapo) predicts that during Vicente Fox’s 6 year term, around two million Mexicans will emigrate to American soil;

Oh whats the big deal. Its just like adding another major city worth of people, about the size of Chicago.

[TexKat]

Its all Clinton's fault. He did it.

Just imagine how colorful all our store fronts are going to be.

Now, was Vincente talking about legal or illegal emigration, or amnesty after legal but illegal immigration, or blanket amnesty after illegal and legal immigration?

Glad to hear all those Mexican gardeners, handymen, field workers, etc. are paying social security, federal, state, and local taxes. NOT!!!

Also glad to hear that those same workers and their families are not using our medical facilities and other social services.

One last thing. Glad to hear they are not sending hundreds of millions of US dollars out of our country.

[TomGuy]

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

More amnesty, please!

I give up. I'm already a minority english speaker. I guess it's time to move to asia or something.

Glad to hear they are not sending hundreds of millions of US dollars out of our country.

Only an estimated 9 billion dollars last year. Now some major banks are accepting the Matriculas Consulares cards as ID and are allowing them to open up checking accounts to make it easier for them to send money back to Mexico.

That is 9 billion dollars out of our economy. Go figure!!

Don't you know, there is no such thing as an illegal immigrant. No human being is illegal.

1. America is a nation of immigrants
2. You are either an immigrant or a decendant of immigrants
3. Therefore you have no right to tell anyone from any other country not to come take up residence here.

[FreedomSurge]

Didn't you read the part about how our undocumented friends:

constitutes a key piece of the economic engine of that country, in addition, they do not displace American laborers and what’s 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 ".

[Regulator]

What kind of country is proud of the fact that most of its citizens don't want to live there?

[Brownie74]

If you believe that, you are the type of person that would get excited over the prize in a box of Cracker Jacks.
