11 Percent Of Mexicos Entire Population Of Citizens \nLive In The USA ILLEGALLY\n\nA close, personal friendship with President George W. Bush has given Mexicos President Vicente Fox the opportunity to purposely allow (or even send) Millions of Criminals, Thugs, Anarchists, and Potential Terrorists to swarm over our southern border in breathtaking numbers. (Nearly half of all illegal aliens currently living in the U.S. came here since Bush became president in 2000.)  \n\nFolks, There Are More Than 20 MILLION ILLEGAL ALIENS In Our Country\n\nMore Than 80 Percent Of Them Came Over Our Southern Border\n\nAND...They Are Still Arriving  - At A Rate Of 8 Thousand Per Day\n\nEl Presidente Fox has been unrelenting in his brazen DEMANDS  on The United States, Starting with OPEN BORDERS even before he was elected. He has called for OUR Border to be a " Joining Line.” His visits to the U.S. have been filled with endless requirements for Mexican Citizens Illegally in OUR Country — \n-Taxpayer-Subsidized In-State Tuition for Illegals at state colleges and universities, \n-Free Healthcare, \n-Guestworker Programs \n-And AMNESTY for all. -                                                              http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/VicenteFox.html                                                              http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/MeddlingMexicans.html  http://www.americanpatrol.com/REFERENCE/MatriculaConsularShamIDs.html

Yes.  It will continue to be ignored.  We are being taken over from within.  The Mexican government knows this and encourages it's citizens to illegally enter the U.S.  The only reason it's tolerated by politicians is that U.S. Company's will continue to have a source of cheap labor.  Think about it, they don't pay these people even the minimum wage.  They receive no benefits.  They are paid under the table so they also collect welfare benefits.  75% of the country want the borders closed, but the politicians continue to fiddle while the country burns.  At this rate, we will become North Mexico within 40 years.

It is not the election that has Mexico just about explode it is the crime has taken over. I was reading that the drug loads are cutting the heads police offices and putting their heads on display. To show they are the ones in charge.\n\nIt sound very bad down there. I do not think they will try to do any thing here. It will just make the US more likely to help out more in Mexico.

LOL trying to legislate the entire planet into the United States, are you? Face facts, that was then, this is now, and unless you really really want to face decades of nosebleed taxes to pay for overcrowding, more cops, more pollution, consider your choices wisely, because Mexico's just standing by for the green light...bone up on your spanish...of course, to be fair, it's not just mexico.\nProblem is, the more pre-load there is on your paycheck, \nthat eventually you'll be paying more and getting less in the way of any social services etc. A lot of people have developed an entitlement mentality these days, other people 'owe' them something, kind of like Sid Vicious's 'do they owe us a living'-type attitude. No one 'owes' you anything by virture of ethnicity, family name, or anything.\nMore people need to pull their socks up, and stop expecting handouts, and trying to paint our country as the mega-welfare agency. "Hey, let's go leech off america" isn't a good attitude, in my view. Lots of people just barely scraping by, out there as it is.\n\nAs hospitals etc. get overloaded, jail system gets overloaded, schools get overloaded, their effectiveness diminishes. People will demand that these services be expanded, and that the government pay for it. Well, you're part of the government, so again, vote with great consideration...\n\nI don't think the answer to global poverty is to make the United States a de-facto second-world country. Legal immigration is fine, illegal immigration is not, and as far as the indian thing goes, you're talking distant history, just like mexico losing the US/Mexico war, which they still apparently refuse to acknowledge? There's poverty in america too, and I think there's a general delusion, perpetuated by some rather unethical politicians, that blatant opportunism and cut-throat competition is the answer to the world's problems. Selling america down the river wholesale isn't going to solve any social problems, right any wrongs, and dumping another 100 million or so into the mix with impunity like the Senate apparently sees fit to do won't get the job done, either. \n\nI think it's time for people to dry their eyes, and look at the problems facing america, mexico and other nations in a new light, with an eye towards prevention and reform. You can't change the past. No one can jump in the time machine and go back and re-make the world or our country the way they think it should be. The strongest strategy, to my mind, is to try and improve what we've got. Mexico should be doing the same instead of just basically fleeing the scene of the crime...'blame america' just won't cut it.\nI have nothing against helping less fortunate people either, as long as it's 'hand up', not 'hand-out' etc...

Mexico is shaking in thier boots because 1 thier secont biggest economy is money transfers from US to mexico if we cap off illegal immigration it will be a huge hit to thier economy---2 there is mass immigration from south america through mexico to get to the US if we do a better job on our borders they will be hit will a huge influx of illegal immigrant of thier own,which they dont have an economy to support,Looks like its time for Mexico to do some serious soul searching or they are the ones in big trouble

We aren't honest about the problem.  For the most part, this is a national security issue having to do with mexico.  Quite literally, mexico has created a black market industry that rivals oil exportation as its main source of revenue.  This has horrible consequences for both us and mexico.  Drugs have a direct effect on our population but the money sent back to mexico creates a situation where the most heinously evil people have tons of power.  We are seeing the result right now as the mexican government is only a few short steps from being overthrown and being replaced with a communist/totalitarian government fueled by drug money.  Mexico has become the type of place where you are out dancing at a club, minding your own business when all of a sudden a group of gunmen burst in and toss a bunch of severed heads on the stage as a warning to people.\n\nSolving this is quite direct.  Shut down the border and seal it tight.  The methamphetamines issue is even simpler to solve.  Get rid of certain OTC cold medications and it becomes very difficult to manufacture them.

Have no clue. Maybe they're trying to bring Mexico here?

How about that we are trying to fix the syptoms and not going to the true source of the problem. WE can spend billions for ever and ever and the problem will still be there. Wouldn`t it be smarter and cheaper to go straight to the FACT of why are these people coming here ?? ANSWER:: they are not happy and able to provide a good living for there families in Mexico (lets tell the truth about 99% of the people we are talking about ) Why don`t we HELP Mexico give their people a better chance to make a good living (and not by moving our jobs there)I`m sure if given a choice their people wouldn`t want to leave their families and come here if they could prosper in their own country... It might cost us some money at first for many years even but it would be better than FOREVER battling this problem that will never truely be fixed othrewise.Then the problems with the other illegals would be(dealing in a much smaller group of people) easier to deal with and could be more of an organized prosses.Instead of having to keep track of 3 million people it might could be 3 thousand.

I Think Its Entirely Possible To CONTROL The Border\n(Walls, Fences, Patrols, ETC.) \nTo STOP The INCREDIBLE AMOUNT Of People Illegally Crossing The Border DAILY \n(In 2004 the actual number Was over 10,000 per day! That's more than 3.7 million per year!) \n\nAnd YES, I Think We Should Use ALL AVAILABLE RESOURCES\nTo Do Whatever We Need To Do To Stop This\n\n11.7 percent of Mexico's total population of Citizens lives in the U.S.(In 2004)\n\nAt current rate of border crossings By 2010, 14% of total U.S. population will be ILLEGAL Aliens! \n\nI KNOW We Can Secure Our Borders Better Than That\n\nMANY Good Reasons To Continue TRYING At This Site\nhttp://www.laughtergenealogy.com/bin/header/immigrants.html

Over one acre of farmland or natural habitat \nis lost to development \nfor each person added to the population.  \n\nIf current mass illegal immigration \ncontinues to add to the problem\nand consumption trends continue, \nby 2020 all domestic oil supplies will be depleted \nand the United States will be forced \nto import almost 100% of its oil.\n\nThen The Fuc*in Arabs \nWill REALLY Have Us Over A Barrel  \n\nEvery day we permanently remove \n3.2 billion gallons of water from our aquifers \nthan is replaced by natural processes. \nPopulation growth has encroached on our wild lands.\n\nFood, water, gas and electric energy supplies / reserves\nare at an all time low,\n \nWe have far exceeded \nthe carrying capacity of the United States.  \nWe have depleted the fossil fuels that power our cars,\nand provide us with heat in the winter, \nand they cannot be replaced.\n\nThe “United States” is overrun with illegal aliens, \nand we have already lost much of life as we knew it.\nHospitals are closing, and declaring bankruptcy \nbecause they cannot accommodate the demand\nfor “free” services to illegal aliens, \n\nThe educational system is in the toilet \ndue to bilingual education \n(which is not provided in any language \nother than “Mexican Spanish”) \nthe welfare system no longer exists \nfor Americans who need assistance, \nSocial Security has been depleted \nbecause the “fund” has been misused\n\nApproximately, 10 to 12,000 illegal aliens \ncross our borders everyday. \n\n3 Million + Per Year\n \nSince no one is enforcing our laws, \nthe majority of them end up somewhere in our country,\nwith American citizens’ tax dollars \nand Social Security benefits paying their way, \nand American Citizens are being subjected \nto the myriad of diseases \nthat heretofore were extinct.\n\nWE THE PEOPLE, The American Citizens \nare not going to be displaced \nand starved out of our own country.

I can tell from your question, you have a good heart.\n\nBut there is a saying, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions".  Consider what happens currently:  millions of Mexicans who come here are forever condemned to live on the margins of society because they are here illegally, and because they will not take the effort to learn English.\n\nThere are 11 million illegals here now.  Do you realize that is the same as the population of Greece?  Do you think we can just absorb that amount of people?\n\nThink of it this way:  by not using criteria such as education, skills, and the ability to speak English, we are like a football team giving away its first draft picks in the NFL.  People from all over the world, many highly skilled people who can make huge contributions, are trying to immigrate here.  And we're passing up on them.\n\nBy not stopping the huge tide of people fleeing Mexico, you are in effect relieving the pressure in a steam kettle.  Mexico is poor for one main reason: because its government is corrupt.  (people often pose the question, why is Canada rich while Mexico is poor?  The answer is governmental corruption)\n\nWithout enough internal rage from the Mexican people, the Mexican government will never change.  Mexico will always stay backwards, poor, and economically inefficient and socially unjust.\n\nSo, you see?  It's not so easy.

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... :(

What is fair about someone coming in and changing my standard of living because they want more.\n\nOne way or another it will be resolved here. We will either become an exceeding poor nation with few resources to help the overpopulation. Or others will have to survive in the own country  and people here can survive the best they know how.\nLife goes on either way.

Mendi if you open your yahoo browser and put in 'immigration' and 'border security' it will come up.  I saw it on the main stream press.  They are trying to get help from their government.  It was such a problem the US started spending more to drop people further into the interior, to make it easier.\n\nhere: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060617/ap_on_re_la_am_ca/mexico_no_way_home_3

Not yet. There has been a build-up of terrorists and weapons in Mexico for more than a year. The U.S. has done nothing to stop it. seems some people want an attack to happen between now and the 2008 elections.
