If that money were to end suddenly, the influx would flow the other way.
We could handle that.

Laura Bush confident in Mexico-U.S. immigration agreement
EFE - 9/26/2002
U.S. First Lady Laura Bush said she was convinced an immigration agreement could be reached between Mexico and the United States, because their leaders want it.
Mrs. Bush, who participated in the 11th Conference of the Wives of Heads of State and Government in Mexico City on Wednesday, said, "I do see a solution to this problem."
In statements to the Mexican press made in Washington and published Wednesday in Reforma daily, Laura Bush explained she and her husband had lived in Texas for many years and have a special sensitivity for the problems of the U.S. Hispanic community.
"There are so many stories about immigrants and the children of immigrants in the United States. Our whole country is made up of immigrants who were able to overcome poverty and obtain good jobs. There are many examples in my husband's administration," the first lady noted.
Mrs. Bush acknowledged that the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks had set back the agenda between Mexico and the United States, but insisted that Presidents Bush and Fox "are going to meet again to try to revitalize and refocus the issue of immigration."
The first lady said she felt "a special bond with Mexico" and recalled the couple had spent their honeymoon in Mexico City and the Caribbean resort of Cozumel. The first lady is expected to focus on childhood poverty as she participates in this summit.
If you're not a young guy, I guess you just take it by what you see going on.
Fewer and fewer young adults are using their degrees. There are too many graduates and too few jobs. Meanwhile, H1Bs have taken many of the tech jobs, while other visa workers have taken others. The remaining jobs are not enough to compensate for the amount of highly specialized and skilled workers.
Illegal Aliens have contributed to wage reduction and have taken over the few labor intensive industries that haven't been a victim of de-industrialization via "Free Trade".
Thus, this leaves few options: 1) Self Employed, 2) Government Jobs, 3) Low brow Service Jobs
If that money were to end suddenly, the influx would flow the other way.
We could handle that.
If the administration would just come out and say that we do not believe in global government, TIPS will not be abused, but will be used in a reasonable manner. If they will say that Christians are not terrorists, and if they will stop leaving our borders wide-open, perhaps people would take it more seriously.
What is the CIA hiding? Why is everything "confidential"? Something is funny here.

I'm flagging you here, rather than posting this on the Dose.
I don't like the sound of this. The pre-9/11 deal was based on some sort of "normlization" for the 3.7 million (then) Mexican Illegals.
"Normalization" is doublespeak for Amnesty.
True. I was very disappointed at that remark as well.
I wouldn't worry about this very non-specific statement by a very nice, polite, non-political LADY.
Well, I think a case could be made that everybody pretty much shops at Walmart, therefore in areas where there are a lot of Mexicans living, there are bound to be a lot of them shopping in Walmart.
Maybe you're right. What if you aren't?
