Do people get that as long as there are differences in the economy of the US and Mexico immigration won't stop

I get it.. \n\nDiffusion works with people too, people move to where they have lower energy states ( or easier to make money )

it depends on migration or...\nimigration rates.

yes it does.... when ever money is being spent it helps the economy.  I don't agree with illegal aliens working here but it still doesn't change the fact that it does help the economy..........

This has been going on in Mexico for the past 150 years.  In this case they claim several things the main being that they are not happy with the results of the last election.  Was it really fixed,...duh  this is Mexico!.     The violence is much greater closer to the U.S. border but the instigators are admittedly different, Oaxaca involves more professionals (ie teachers).  There is very little respect for law in Mexico.  hmmm, seems to be a little of that slipping up north from there too.

People like yourself,that feel they are superior should not need to come to the USA to gain work. Exceptional people like yourself should transform Mexico's economy to one that all there will want to stay, and we here might want to go to!

I believe it is headed in that direction regardless of what happens. Things are already to far in motion to just be ignored now. Whether the illegals are sent home, or made legal, prices on Ag goods will be rising within the next few years. If the illegals are granted amnesty, they will be demanding higher wages, so no matter what, prices are going to rise.

immigration. well i am full blooded Mexican American. my father was in Vietnam, grandfathers in world war II, I struggle to get to pay bills. hard to find a decent job. but i manage and tell my daughter how great this country is every day. It angers  me to see Mexican nationals go to the grocery store, pay for there food, complain about sale priced items only to pay with food stamps and then to see them load it up in there escalade, or other brand new car. but yet there plates still show Mexico. they only come to complain about our society. but yet will mooch off it as much as possible. well Monday they are to do a strike. if any one is in position to fire anyone, then get those illegals and people that should remember just where you live. freedom is not free. and my family as well as many other families fought and gave life for this freedom. don't throw that though away just for people who don't deserve it. if you are American citizen, then do your part and go to work. remember where you came from and remember why people want to come to this country. long live the USA

I don't think immigrants are allowed depending on where they come from. It is a matter of happen-to-be.

If the illegality of crossing the border was where it ended, probubly not a REALLY big deal but ...it doesn't end there. They come here poor, unenculturated, unaware, uneducated, unhealthy and un many other important things. They don't come here "un fertile" however.\nBeing in the "Un state" they are in, they don't have insurance, to cover their rather bad driving (many times while intoxicated) and the damage they do after they hit and run, is born by the property owner and or the insurance co. Rates go up, dislike for the Mexicans is fostered and Americans in general are demeaned both by the criminality, as well as the degredation of the lawful process that we usually live within.\nI don't know about you folks, but if I conduct myself in such a way as to break the law, I know there is a high likelyhood I will be caught and brought to justice. I have something to lose. The illegal hasn't got much or anything to lose. This illegal thang makes for two different systems of justice; a higher standard for us Americans ...and a lower standard for the illegals. Not a very fair, equitable or workable situation. It has to end for many reasons.

Free Trade is driving integration of Mexico and USA faster than any other treaty. The reality is Mexican economy collapse we get a surge of migrants from Mexico and it will cost more in tax payers money in the long term to protect the border. Good idea be to work with Mexico to improve their standard of living so they would not need to migration north, and America to realize that a growing Mexican at a 5% clip a year would add 1.5% more economic growth to the Untied States and start to reverse the migration process, and opening the borders long term would be benefit for all involved do you really wanna get a passport, and paper just to drive to Mexico for a visit. We need to speed integration with Mexico at the same time put of tariffs on China to reduce pressure on the low-skilled workers in both countries at will never compete with sub-par low wages. China is cheating the currency markets that is driving wages down in Mexico and the United States. We cant solve the Mexican immigration problem with unilateral solutions it requires bilateral solutions to resolve this long term.

Funny question.  You never know what will happen, huh?  I think people WILL start sneaking back to Mexico if it gets too bad for them here.  Don't most of us "go see mom or dad" when things get bad?

There needs to be a control on who and how many immigrants the US receives. This could be done if we allowed people who only wish to work, access to the US easily. There could be safeguards as to how many workers and information on both sides about how many jobs are available and what not. This could benefit many business in US and reduce illegal immigration to those wanting to cause harm to the US, not a family trying to make a living. Both sides could benefit as long as companies do not try to attract Mexican immigrants to work in jobs not sanctioned by an agreement.

NO... they are creating a society of Rich and Poor just like in Mexico... The rich are getting richer by using the immigrants for cheap labor.. the poor are getting poorer.. and the middle class is almost non existent... That is why Mexico is like it is... and that is what we are becoming. Hope everyone is happy about that.. The middle man is a goner... :(

It varies year to year depending on how many illegal immigrants they have to support each year.  Right now it's 8%.

The borders must be secured to avoid all the illegal immigration but also persecute companies that are doing the illegal hiring to exploit cheap labor. As long as there is a demand, the flow will continue. Immigration has to be controled, no question about it.

The southwest, Florida, and New York is where it is the oldest problem, but illegals are now moving toward the midwest and other areas. I read in the L.A times about a Mexican family who moved to TN because the wages and living conditions were now so poor. They said it was "too much like Mexico." They also said other Mexican workers drive down the wages, and it was much easier to send more money home to the family because the wages in Tennessee were so much higher than what they were used to. I can personally attest to wages being lower in the southwest. I've noticed that jobs in my area of Texas(on the border, no less) pay less than half what they did in my midwest hometown. And yet, the taxes for these people, who make very little are twice as high. Not to mention what these people are paying for medical care.It's insane.
