Sort of... this is partially true.  As one of the largest water sources in the desert southwest, the Colorado River is one of the most fought-over rivers in the world.  After much legal fighting and arguement, the majority of the water in the lower part of the river was divided up between Arizona, Nevada, Utah or California with the Colorado River Compact of 1922.  \n\nThe agreement was amended in 1944 to ensure that Mexico would receive a minimum of about 1.4 million acre feet (about a 10th of the flow of the lower river).  However, by the time it gets to the border, it has been so drained (and picked up so much mineral run-off from farmland) that the saline and mineral levels are far too high to use even for irrigation.  As a result, the US has built a de-salinazation plant that processes all of the water at the border and sends it on to Mexico via canals.  By that point, it is really no longer a river in any real sense of the word and (except during floods) none of the water ever actually makes it to the Gulf of California anymore.

Well, they can't sat SH*T to me. I'm American...of Mexican blood...and I think all illegals need to stop complaining, go home, and not come back here until they're legal. They hurt regular Americans by taking jobs that would otherwise offer decent wages to those with less education or those who just prefer to work with their hands instead of sitting behind a desk.

I do not agree with this guy^^^^^yeah they might have been doing all these great things but you have to remember that in those times, mostly all women stayed home and took care of their children while their husbands went to work. Nowadays most women work all day...because a lot of them choose to..to have more money...so if all these women start working the income goes up in a home...the prices for living go up and it's a never ending circle......most of them have NO time to come home, being tired, and clean houses which is usually populated with 2 or more children. So they go and hire a nanny.....and not one who will charge a lot....one who will charge them a lesser amount because they don't want to empty their pockets.......IT's all about being selfish and you know that. Why do companies hire employees who will work for a lower wage?....cause the more money you got the more you want to have and keep....and a lot of these companies have people who invest their money on them and an investor wants results, profits,.....and if the person who is in charge of running the company is not giving them the results that they want.....well they have a great chance of loosing their job to someone who is competent and can give them the output and results the investors want. Don't start blaming all the mexicans for america's problems, as far as I know, mexicans aren't the only people immigrating to america so stop saying it's thier fault. All this blame should be put on the US GOVERNMENT, and you know why! They are aware and have been aware for the past 40 years that there is a shi* load of immigrants coming in through the southern, northern borders....coming in through our ports, and even people who come here as tourists with a passport that never go back.....and they didn't and still haven't done anaything about it...so if you say that americans are so great because they have done so many things for this economy...well where were they when they elected the president and their senators? Because it's the american people who chose them...not us....(the immigrants).....so for this guy up here if you want to blame the immigrants I say do some research before you start typing away....the only ones responsible for this are the Greedy Coroporations/companies/investors and the GOVERNMENT!!!!!!!!!!!IT'S ALL ABOUT THE MONEY!!!!!

Sounds like you're pretty fed up with millions of people coming into your country illegally and taking jobs away from your fellow citizens.  Why are you so angry?  Haven't you heard they are only taking jobs no unemployed, or Mcjob employed American wants?  You must be a racist to resent this invasion of your country, helping to hold down wages, draining the social services budgets, straining the healthcare & the school systems and raising the crime rate.   \nDon't you realize that the money these illegal people send home, draining our economy, is Mexico's second largest source of national income, second only to the tourist dollars Americans spend down there.  Surely you realize that, unlike people everywhere else throughout history, these people want to stay at the bottom and have their children stay at the bottom.  They will never become dissatisfied and rebel.   No, it will be a first time ever in history that a group of people will like to have no chance to move up in a society.   Of course we OWE it to them and not to our own citizens.  Where do I go to apply for illegal immigrant status and get my free lunch, medical care, lower student costs, and a chance to get a better life?

The big issue I have isn't with number of Mexicans that are in America.. it's more of the fact that they refuse to enter the country LEGALLY, and they refuse to live like an America once they get here...\n\nIf they are still sooooo proud of Mexico that they have to bring their flags here and wave em around everywhere, then go back to the country that doesn't provide your family a future.. I'd be proud to call that home also... If you insist on being proud and living the way you do in your home country.. Move into the areas that Americans have designated yours.. I.E. "Little Italy" "Little Mexico".. etc.. In those places, yo ucan go about everyday life and live 50 to a house...\n\nLearn ENGLISH.. Doesn't meant you can't know/speak spanish.. But speak it only in the home, and speak english when you are dealing with other Americans, seeing that is what we speak..\n\nLive one family to a house, not a generation of on family to a house.. Same rule for a car.. only clowns travel around with 15 people in a VW Bug.. If you want to be associated with that, then more power to you..\n\nAs far as the rights go.. Amercians have given their lives and fought for those rights, so other Amercians could enjoy them... Mexicans have hopped a fence, hid out, and won't sacrifice shit for America... Most of them are here illegally, and since they aren't legal citizens of America, they shouldn't get to enjoy the rights that Americans do... \n\nSo yes, I agree.. GO MINUTEMEN !!!!

Ah, but I think you do get it.  As an American, I can tell you that these people are completely full of it.\n\nAs far as I'm concerned, all the Mexicans that want to, can come on up.  You're invited, by me.\n\nNever mind the ingrates that think illigals are a drain on our economy.  There would be no produce on our shelves with out them.  Americans are too lazy to go out and pick produce.  These are the morons that think Mexicans are ruining our economy and at the same time, they suppor the debt that George Bush has put us into, that our childrens children will be paying off for the next century.  \n\nPeople suggest they fix the problems in their own country, when infact we are the enablers of their poor economy when we pay their workers 85 cents an hour to make our SUV's.\n\nPeople can deny all they want, the fact is, it's racism.

They are doing themselves a disservice by getting American citizens more and more angry.  It's going to backfire on them.

I know what you mean and you have a point there but..... Is not up to the USA government or up to the American Corporation to establish new laws in Mexico. It's up to the Mexican government to make their laws be obeyed and create new laws for the benefits of their citizens. The problem is not the companies that goes to Mexico looking for cheap labor and pay the lease of money or benefits to the workers, the problem is the Mexican government that don't give a shit for their citizens. They are the big problem and they are so inept and corrupted that they rather send their citizens to the USA illegally than to creat new laws for the better of their citizens. Mexico is what the government and the Mexican people wanted to be,,,, what you see.

One of the biggest problems is that according the the PEW Hispanic research center. 80% don't even want nor do they care about being an American or following the laws in this country. These are selfish people who prey off of the sweat and hard work of EVERY American both past and present.

No before long the american people already tired of illegals and the handouts they get when others can not, the jobs that they take from legals will get fed up and vote in people that are a lot harsher in views than those of the current administration and if the leaders then do not want to do anything then the people will take it state by state to end the freebies. The only sane solution to the problem is to invade Mexico make it the 51st state then there are no illegals

wow good news indeed and to the posts that called us names this is the problem with the pro illegal team they call us names and demand and say it was their land first instead of saying something worthy  a good reason for us to say ok maybe we should hear them out or they may have something there not all of them but the most say these same things and they making more Americans less  open hearted i have yet to hear a good reason why we should let this continue  and we should go on and support mexico;s corruption at times i feel sorry for them  but when will it end for if the corruption continues then we will be repeating this same scenario in the future,  and yet  they themselves show no ill feelings towards mexico  and show that's were their true loyalty lies and  that is beyond me in understanding  it seems they don't want to be Americans they  just want our money.

There are countries that are in worse shape than mexico,and those individuals that have waited for years should be allowed to come into this country before the mexicans,but you have low lifes in our goverment like George Bush,Hillary Clinton,Ted Kennedy,John McCain and others that are kissing mexicans behinds to get then on their side instead of doing what's right for the country.

That is part of the problem.\nMany Mexicans keep coming. Large families trying to make ends meet. What do they do? They get one small cheap rental and put 13 people in it so they only have to pay low bills (like $600). They share all the expenses but destroy the rental. It is happening all owver American and the landlords can not complain or it is discrimination.\n\nIt happended to me. I had a small 900 sq ft condo (2brm/1ba) and it rented for $600 month. My rental company rented to a family of 3 but later we found out there were 23 Mexicans living out of that one little place. They destroyed my condo. It took me $30,000 to fix it up at my expense, why is that fair?\nHow would a Mexican feel if he lost $30,000? I bet he would use less than civil tactics to get even.\n\nThis is what is happening all over America right now. And the immagrants want us to feel guilty and feel sorry for them. Go Home.
