Mexicans are sending 20 billion dollars south each year to support their big families, is this good ?

Why is everyone so insecure about immigrants and people who are different from yourselves?  Listen, if they are sending 20 billion abroad, its nothing - its nothing compared to things like our trade deficit - how many people buy things only made in the US?

I don't believe those numbers there be a lot more people than that. I think your way to pessimistic. You need to look on the bright side, you wont have to mow your lawn, they'll be a Mexican restaurant at every corner right next to the gas station owned by an Arab. You'll be  able to learn a foreign language, such as Spanish. And you know what when you grow old and if your fortunate enough to grow old you probably  be  taken care by a colored person.  You no that Hispanics will if not are already the majority in most states. If you want to get away from them i think you should definitely move to one of the southern states towards the east. What really is your point to stir up hate and animosity.\nI side with the president on this issue. I think he's doing a great job on this issue. :  )

Either way, the money doesn't get used in the U.S. as any corporation of the size to be able to open sites in Mexico has a ton of tax shelters that prevent paying taxes.  Mexico benefits far more from both situations than the U.S. does.

Yes this is true. We could have billions of money and still want more. People always want, want, want . They never think of the third world and be grateful for what you have even if it mightn't be alot compared to what others have

auntb93... has some good advice, I would listen.  Having lived in Texas off and on most of my life, I have had a good deal of contact with the Mexican culture.  I am fluent in Spanish and I think I understand them.  For the most part The Mexicans outlook of life is somewhat different than ours.  Their government has been quite corrupt for about 90 years, it is just now trying to enter the real world of the 21st century.  Their military is anemic, and local police are mainly available for purchase at the right price.  There is a vast difference between the rich and poor in Mexico.  There is a very small middle class.  Money talks, when all else fails.

they come over here and marry women no one wants, so, if we were to ship the women no one wants to mexico, would they all go back?\n\nIf we shipped them all back, the economy would get better, due to the fact that some companies would go out of business, ( the weak ones), and the strong companies and businesses would thrive, meaning, companies with the management and budgetary know how would be absorbing the vaccume left by the weak companies, therefore increasing the job to worker ratio, which means more disposable income, less unemployment, higher wages, and , well, a better america without illegal no hablas. But I digress. Just get'em out of here!!!!!\n\nIt's called a typo. And you probably need to quit paying the neighbor kid to  type and read for you and learn english for yourself.\n\nBy the way, on may 1st, can your people extend your boycott for a few more weeks. I'm sure since your kids wont be in school, ( like they are anyways LOL) our kids may learn more, and everything will be better. What are those taco carts called you push around with the bells on. And what is the icecream like stuff you sell? Venezuelan beaver cheese?

I doubt it. Investment in Mexico by US citizens is strictly limited. Mexico dose not want immigration from the US and has resisted any measures to affect the drug trade significantly.  La mordida still rules in Mexico. In fact, native Mexicans look down on their American Mexicans cousins. Ironic isn't it.

Yes, and not just in Mexico - the countries of Central America all consider their citizens who are illegally in the US working and sending money home to be heroes, too.

That's why a lot of rich American business owners have vacation homes in Mexico or retire there.  American money goes a long way there.  You can buy a house right on the beach for less than $400k.  The same house here anywhere NEAR a beach here would be $2+million.\n\nBut let's consider this....a Mexican construction worker who makes about $8/day in Mexico can make $80/day for the same work here in the US.  That $8/day doesn't go very far when you're living there buying $4 meals.  He works half a day for a meal.  Kinda makes you understand why they come here, no?

I think tons. Only because our country is kick azz in finding ways of getting more money. And for the comment made by rfjanssen, nothings more corrupt than this country so they'll fit right on in. Wont they.

i feel you can live happily wherever you want..but i feel the problem in latin american countries is the U.S. goverment is slapping you to keep your economics down, which makes it impossible to fix anything,,,so my suggestion to "fix your country" as you say...vote for political figures in your country that is for the people, improving, living and economics.\ndon't allow big business to come into your country and pay poor wages.\npeople come to the states to get money for there families, and i feel there is nothing wrong with this..who is to say who can live here and who can't, we all came from somewhere else also.\nbut to sum it up..start with your own goverment, they have to make the first step in making the changes. its inhuman to pay someone 2.00 an hour and think it is enough to support a family...people need to wake up  and look at the big picture...the very people who are telling latin people not to come into the states are the very people making the problem , or the general population is just uneducated as to what is going on.

I think we should not be spending our time and money in Iraq.  If we take some of that money and make Mexico a better place, then maybe they want come here.  Or we can make Mexico one of our states.  Then we have more room to spread out.  Our country is getting over populated.  Canada has their country under control, why can't other countries get their act together?\n\nI do believe in cutting off the welfare.  It is not fair for people to have 20 kids and not do a thing.  They don't even care about the kids they have anyway. All they see if free money.  I'm tired of working my a** off while everyone else is living on easy street.  But I also have worked with illegal immigrants from Mexico and they really do work hard.  I'm just afraid that the Welfare habits will rub off.

Thats what the socialists (democrats) do, so it must be ok.\n\n\nedit* actually, in all honesty, that is what government does.  It spends the states money on its citizens.  It's just that the democrats want to give things to the people who do not contribute.

well i have watched them for years play during breaks they get  when building houses if space permits . does or has this leed to an increase in the popularity of soccer or is it the hot chicks on sports mags covers i am not sure or am i .hot chicks ,sports mags -mexicans - i vote hot chicks. I have been to several events in sports and a majority of the people in the stands paying to watch are  white americans and few if any minoritys. So the trend in increased spending by white folks is the reason soccer is gaining in popularity not mexicans but nice try.Mexicans are a valued contributor to the american economy businesses under pay them greating more profits for white people. white people pay them to clean up behind them for little pay and want them to work for less then they pay white americans.white americans have more time to watch soccer games so mexicans are responcible for the increased  intrest in soccer i guess--- it is so hard to know what the truth is. Why does it matter why or who is responcible it is another way for people to waste time in gladiator type arena's cheering  in a collective voice further in-hancing the group mentality that has destroyed america. go to church work hard vote republican and the world is fine.just do what we say .\nI choose to beleive what i have learned and not what i have been told little proof of religion identifing GOD and politicians only serve them selves and big business who gets them elected.Man is cruel in his treatment of others and will take advantage of anyone he can- so i say arm yourself and prepare for the revolution .WHEN our economy collapses under the realization we shipped all the jobs that built america overseas to make a buck comes back to haunt us it will be to late .We are blind to what is staring us in the face .service jobs are not the way to expand an economy we need to make something not shippit repackage it and sell it but make it . MONEY does not make more money as they want you to think it is a note for a debt public and private that debit is your work to make something of value.houses furniture clothes and food  . transportation warehousing and storage, roads .power plants education public librarys and services to assit the people.The work is the only thing worth anything and it is devalued at every step where money changes hands getting smaller and smaller till it finaly reaches the workers hands as loos change and america will not take it much more.

Thank the pro-hispanic lobby on this one, what it largely seems to amount to is a 'shotgun wedding' between the US and Mexico, and american taxpayers are supposed to buy off on all this garbage and not bat an eye. Since the reverse effect is happening, well it kind of shows that the GOP's head and hind-quarters aren't very well connected anymore, or one has lapped the other, something like that...what this also brings to light, though, is all these other 'programs' that give money away all over the place, Matthew Lesko's dream-come-true, and the taxpayer's worst nightmare, wealth redistribution in the worst possible sense. I think if we're going to help Mexico, it needs to be a lot more metered, and done AFTER the border's nailed shut, so as to minimize the negative impact on american communities. I think when the House finally gets around to consulting the voters on this one, there's going to be a general consensus going back to washington that basically says 'fix the border, and forget the rest of it'. It's a nice idea to try and help others, but if that 'help' is just going to get abused, there's not much point to it. Necessity's the mother of invention, and a lot of the people that originally settled the United States didn't get much 'help', because there wasn't any. Let's not have any more of this 'give away the country to appease your 3rd world business partners' garbage....Mexico could be rolling in money(some already are, they just don't share out) and feed, clothe, and educate every last one of their citizens, probably just off their oil revenues, but instead they'd like to ride the american guilt trip into a split-level condo...time for voters/taxpayers to wake the hell UP and say 'no mas' at the polls, come november...
