"I do not want South America as my backyard either, but . . . ."
But that's what we're getting. We're overwhelmingly importing the bottom rung of the third world rather than the best and brightest of the first world. (These are the ones our amigo Vicente Fox is all too willing to see emigrate north.) We can't continue to bring in tens of millions of the world's citizens who have poor education, low job skills, and very likely a very modest intellectual level without very soon paying the price.
People who live in first world countries don't migrate. Life is too good. However, when we start importing educated people from India or China who have engineering or science degrees, you'll hear a different set of Freepers screaming foul.
Vincente Fox keeps forgetting he is president of Mexico. If he spent half as much time trying to reform his country, rather than trying to reform our policies, he might actually accomplish something.
