Mexico is becoming less and less socialist and more capitalist all the time, so the prospect of the country following Central America´s example is low.  What will the US do for wage slaves?  If anything, wages will be forced to go up and citizens and legal residents will reap the benefits.

I'm tired of the stereotype that Americans wouldn't do the work that illegals do. Illegals do all kinds of jobs for less than minimum wage which drive the wages down for U.S. citizens. Construction jobs are an example. There are lots of illegals doing construction jobs that Americans used to do because the companies can keep more of the profits if they pay less for the workers. All that does is make companies wealthier and Americans poorer. Illegals are stealing jobs that Americans have done for years.

Just exactly what jobs are these people taking away from Americans?  Picking in the field?  Washing dishes?   I don't see too many Americans lining up to do those jobs... most of them that are available for this kind of work are too busy sitting on street corners asking for money.  \n\nLazy bastards.

Many of them choose to do cheaper labor. I know some Mexicans and they bash themselves

That is a crock!! I personally do not believe there is a job an AMERICAN won't do. I have watched  " Dirtiest Jobs" on TV and I see AMERICANS cleaning out cesspools, replacing pumps in cesspools, crawling through pipes underground where there are cockroaches and big, fat RATS, picking up dead animal carcasses on the highways. I never see a Mexican do those jobs. I have a family member who works in the sanitation station in our city, he's white. Our president is speaking out of turn when he says that. He has no idea what American do or will do to take care of their families.

Answering just to your question "Is poverty a legitmate excuse to breaking the law?", my answer is No. And you are right, Mexico is not a poor country, so I kinda agree with you. I'd say the economy has not been devided equally; rich people are very, very rich and poor people are very, very poor. So it's these poor guys the ones who run to the USA with the expectation of a better life, which they do not always get. I personally prefer to be middle class with a secure job in a middle class country (Mexico), than to be poor, receive humilliations and be struggling for a job in a rich country (USA).

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!

Many Americans work for minimum wage or just a little more. There has been shows on it. And on Oprah once a guy and his wife tried to live on min wage together (both working) and they couldn't. One hospital visit wiped them out. \n I believe many live this way in Mexico--no all-and they do have a big middle class. Just like here, we have many poor. Somehow they feel it is wrong for them to live -poor.\n And they come here. The trouble is-it is hurting our poor-who can never get a good cost of living raise. And they are entitle to more  benefits than most can get. So in a sense their poor are pushing are poor into homelessness. And they are creating more to be poor here..And our middle class is feeling the pain too.\n I am sorry but I feel they have to be poor there and learn to make do with what they have. We do. My purse is about empty and their not helping me. I want a future too.\n If they were truly starving-than please eat. Your in dire need of Medical -go to a hospital. but just to want more-no.\n  I can't help the world-be nice if I could.\n  \nMaybe they need to take those lawn jobs, and maid jobs-and go work at Mexico's resorts. Move there-they have high employee turnover too and often need help. Or do what the rest of us do--make do in there own country.

Yes they do. Many people say it's because Americans won't do them. It's not that Americans won't do them, it's the companies they won't pay the money for the people to work so the CEO's and other big wigs within the company can put more dollars in their pockets. Illegals will do it because it's still twice what they would get back in Mexico.

I'm sick of that race card too!!!  It's not that Americans won't do those jobs, it's just that they won't do them for as little money (which they shouldn't).  The reason that illegals work for so little is because they are illegal.  I'm sure that if you offered those jobs to homeless and unemployed Americans that they would accept.  And if they refuse to do that kind of work.... let them be homeless without any social services then.

Seems the jobs Americans just wont do are jobs already held...By our politicians!! It would be really nice to see them just do their job.

I run a shop in florida my boss used to start people out at 10$ an hour he layed off my crew and hired illegal mexacans at 7$ an hour he is a multi millionaire.The lumbaryard next to me has nothing but illegal immigrants thats where my boss got his the man that owns it bought an island in the bahamas and built a mansion on it he roofed the mansion with tounge and groove teak at a cost of about 200,000 dollars both men are considerd small buisnessmen by the U.S. goverment.I grew up in southern California and was always impressed with the illegals and how hard they worked and tried to become a part of the culture.I had to take up spanish because my crew has told me they should not have to learn english since my boss wanted spanish workers.My neighbors for 3yrs dont speak english but think its wonderfull that i am learning spanish.If anyone in this country thinks these are the mexicans of old they are badly mistaken they want everything America has to offer and are more than willing to work and sacrifice for it but they do not want to be american they do not want to add there culture to ours or emrace are traditions what they want is a complete illemination of the border and cheap labor will be a thing of the past.Mexico is a socialist country and they will do the same here.I keep hearing this is all about fear as if the things i have seen are anomalys twelve million people who will vote because they are not stupid will have a huge impact on the way this country is run.Hope this helps sorry it was so long

First of all just so you know my background is German, Irish and English my wife is Dominican (Spanish speaking). I can only think of two things. 1) They are ignorant! 2) Mexico is one of the largest countries, so it is more noticeable. Plus, how can anyone say that Mexicans are taking all the jobs when other Americans won't even do that type of work? I appreciate them, 'cause if it weren't for them then the fields of fruit and veggies would not get picked. I'm from CA and now I live in NY. There are so many other immigrants here too. At one time Western United States used to be Mexico and the "White Man" took it away. People are just plain ignorant or stupid. Don't let it bother you, hasta

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?

Are you still Talking the "JOBS AMERICANS WONT DO" Bullshit.I like millions of other poor americans have done the very work people claim only immigrants do.Ive always done what i has too, to put a roof over my head and food on my table.Yet ive actually worked for less and payed taxes on less wages.Have you ever seen what happens to a $200 check after taxes? I have.It works out to be less than the cash jobs alot of illegals do.Are you blind or do you not even realize there is such a thing as "Poor Americans"
