Why does not people from the US go to Mexico?

Actually, there are some places in Mexico with large numbers of U.S. expatriates. If I remember correctly, in Mexicali, or in some other part of Baja California, there is a large community of retirees from the U.S. They go there, because the climate is pleasant and because the cost of living is low.

This immigration matter is complex. Immigrants fleeing Mexico, are like ants soaking up our resources but Mexicans are hard workers and will do minimum wage and/or menial labor that some Americans frown upon. Our borders are not as secure as they should be and besides that, human smugglers take advantage of immigrants wanting to come here by herding them into vehicles like cattle, with no thought of safety or dignity. \nAt least 50% of all illegal drugs are smuggled from Mexico.\n   On the other hand Mexicans make up our largest percentage of legal aliens. They contribute significantly to our economy and our culture.\n    Our country needs to make laws applying to those already here and apply new statutes for future immigrants because our country is founded by immigrants from all parts of the world.

America does not offer, because they know that they will not accept.  Mexico, though more impoverished, has a common trait with other countries: the desire to be an autocracy or self-governing country.  Also, many people are already against imperialism-immoral, causes more problems for america, etc- so it would be difficult to convince congress to agree with the decision to take over mexico.

I think many mexicans realize their home country has problems, they just don't know what to do about it, and fleeing the scene to the United States is the 'easy out' answer. \n\nThey're supposed to be having an election in Mexico, hopefully it will yield some positive results. But, if it doesn't, ultimately it will be up to the american voter to make themselves widely heard on the issue in the spirit of giving Mexico a helping hand by limiting their escape options. It's kind of like with a kid that doesn't want to do their homework, you gotta box em in 'til they finally knuckle under and take care of it...

It all comes down to the fact that Mexico's second largest income is money that Mexicans (illegal and legal) send 'home'.  \n\nIt's all....boo hoo, poor mexico and immigrants, coming to america for a better chance..boo hoo.  WHat about American suffereing?  Are there not americans who are homeless, americans who can not afford medical care for their children, americans who cannot afford food or clothes...fact of the matter is a lot of our nation's resources are being used by NON americans...who then send what they receive back to their 'home' countries.

Mexico is a country in turmoil. They have lived under a cast system for all of their modern history. Mexico is clearly a State of haves and have nots. The rich are very rich and the poor are very poor. There is a small middle class and they are mostly the managers of the rich people’s property and businesses. Mexico has opened the door to a major Marxist movement. Nearly fifty percent of the Mexican people voted for a Marxist in the last presidential election. There are also many powerful criminal organizations in Mexico. \n\nThe ordinary people are sick, tired and scared. They have no where to turn to. This is why they leave their families and everything they know for a chance for a new life in America. It is time for American’s to recognize the current illegal immigration problem is just the tip of the proverbial iceberg. Mexico is headed for a civil war.\n\nIf civil war breaks out in Mexico the United States will be drawn in. The United States will have to intervene if for no other reason than to stop the flood of Mexican refugees from crossing our borders. A civil war will create a flood of humans we have never experienced. We have to become proactive and take action now to help Mexico turn its economy around. It may already be too late. Perhaps there is no way short of revolution for the Mexican people to turn the situation around—only time will tell.

There is really no way to explain why except to say that the government of mexico is totally concerned with what others are doing at the cost of it's own people. It is the type of government that would rather keep more than half of it's people below poverty and at the same time have legislative meeting to petition the American government to allow criminals to walk free in American society. The government of mexico and the people who put them there are NOT accepted as a world class country for just that type of reason.

Because Mexico makes HUGE money off it's citizens being in the US, working, and sending money back. Immigrants from Central and South America can only cost them money, so it's easier for them to just shoot them.\n\nThey ARE hypocrites, Pancha. They lobby the US for open borders while at the same time killing immigrants coming into THEIR country. Sounds hypocritical to me.

Mexico is not a poor country, far from it ... they have oil, minerals, and a very healthy export situation ... what is wrong with it is that it is corrupt!  Mexico could well afford to look after its citizens, but it's more convenient to send them over to the U.S. and let the Americans foot the bill!  Don't forget that the 20 billion no doubt untaxed dollars these aliens send home to Mexico form a big part of their national income.  Who foots the bill?  You, the American taxpayer, does .... it is also not fair to compare dollar for dollar what these people earn ... a dollar goes considerably further in Mexico than it does here ... We couldn't exist on the money some greedy companies are paying the illegals, but that money buys one heck of a lot in Mexico ....

Honey, not only mexicans come in through the mexican border. Fyi there's been plenty of europeans, central, south americans, asian, africans and middle easteners that come in through the mexican border.

Well, I think it could go both ways.  They are actually not too bad for the United States, contrary to popular belief.  They are one of the minority groups that are the hardest working and least compensated.  \n\nIn my opinion, those that actually make the attempt to reach the US are those that are searching for a better life and are willing to work hard to achieve it.  In that case, it is negative for Mexico, because they are losing potentially good citizens.  (Contrary to your provided article.)\n\nSeems like we just need to come up with more accessible ways of getting here legally...

No....Mexico sends the people that they don't want to the United States...and Cuba allows their undesirables to go to Mexico. I think it is poetic justice. \nDo unto others as you would have them do unto you...

First of all, nobody sends people to anywhere unless there was a war, and the government sent somebody into exile. People migrate seeking better job, life and civil opportunities that in their own region. Besides, This is not a new phenomenon. Canada was filled also with fugitives, farmers, scientist, and workers, with something in common: Migrating people is always able-to-struggle. Everybody seeks the same. In the case of México, shortage of opportunities, misery and corruption fueled the ambitions of the émigrés. The situation is changing and now, better opportunities emerge in México. Still, there’s a lot to do in the agenda. This phenomenon isn’t just in America. You can put your eyes in Europe, too, among the eastern and western regions, -without considering African and Arabic people-.

It is not easy to get into this country legally, but most things worth doing are not easy.  As you said no other country, including Mexico, allows free and undeterred migration to their country so why should the USA.  The USA is a major terrorist target and we must KNOW who is coming into our country to protect our people and property from attack. It is about the greater good.  We could open our boarders and allow any and all who want to cross to come in but then how safe would they be after the bombings, gassing and killings started.

We have poor in this country, like the poor victims of Katrina. Why would I send my money to Mexico when there are people that need it here.
