They have a class system.  The do not want a middle class at all all those that are beneath the rich and ruling class are to stay that way.  But like most of cultures people continue to have babies, and those babies grow up and cause a drain on the rich and ruling class.  There needs to be away to feed, cloth and keep them settled so that they will not fight to overthrow a cruel and unjust government.  So what better way than to drive them out of the homeland and into that of another country.  For their government could care less if they lived or died (do you think there is water in the desert for those of us traveling to Mexico illegally) and much less what really happens to them here. \n\n Mexico is a corrupt government that only aids to the desparate state of being that their people are in.  Flying into Mexico City, by the way, which if very beautilful, one can see as far as the eye, roof tops of cardboard boxes.  One can drive down US Hwy 10 on the West side of El Paso and see conditions across the board that are just horrifing.  One can drive into Juazes and see the manison with their great walls around them, and people lining the streets in filth and hunger.  Their government does not want them there, so whats a few million, drive them N. and get them out of Mexico, so that we may have their lands and not worry about their existence.  Of course if we can use them ( the millions they drive from Mexico)in such a way as to get America to give us more and do more for us then so be it.  And if they can use them (with lies that they are entitled to something in this land), the poor driven souls to cause unrest in America then they are for that.  \n\nIts called all for me and none for you government.  There is a very small ruling class in Mexico, they rule with an iron hand.  \n\nKiss the ground you live and work on, for it is not like another on earth.  And those that come here both legally and illegally know this, that is why they still come!

We should, but it wont happen.  The Mexican government can't provide needed service to its poor people that is why they headed north to the US where they can got free medical, free services.

If we open our arms to all poor mexicans we are sending a message... "Please come in and exploit our country, dont worry about our laws because we dont enforce them anyway."  If this happens we will become a third world country.  You cant just take all the poor people from one country and send them here and expect them to have better lives.  Thats just picking up the problem and moving it somewhere else.

Mexico is not eligible for green cards. And those people need to have jobs, quick. So they hop across the border.

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... :(

Probably they would think how stupid they were. the only people who want to go TO Mexico are the low lives who realize that those who are upper-middle class here, are kings over there.  The government would love it.  more tax dollars and more money going around.  For their people to buy supplies to go to AMERICA.  Trust me, it would be the total opposite reaction for what we're giving them. (At least the SMART people)

CORRUPTION mexico is full of it. if there wasnt corruption that country would be like Canada. Serioulsy, from an educated person from mexico I know what Im talking about. I had a friend ask me the same question he was like: "how come if mexico is next to the best country in the world it is so poor" I had one word for him Corruption.

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!

well not necessarily - that might just mean that more people are attracted (in India) to this city looking for jobs...but probably more to do with the work done by Mother Theresa for the poor in that city.\n\nI think Brasilia or Sao Paula in Brazil may have more poor - after all the populations of these cities are 25+ million. Also Mexico City has 37 million population.

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 ....

Absolutely NOT.  Mexico is the toilet of the western hemisphere.  It is filled with poverty, corrupt officials, drug lords, illiterate people, and nothing but problems.  With the exception of Mexican food, Mexico has offered virtually NOTHING of any worth to the civilized world.

Yes they are fighting for better lives. If they were not poor then why migrate and leave everything behind? The poor want to feed their families and therefore migrate in search for an opportunity to work and have food to feed their families with.

If The United States of America will submit and grant amnesty and allow guest worker programs, the ENTIRE population of Mexico will come here, use up all our tax money, resources for their own selfish benefit.  Other countries will also protest to have the same benefit--UK, Asia, people from around other parts of the world would demand the same thing...the USA cannot allow Mexicans and not others.  So then, what would happen?  Well, the USA would become poor, unintelligent, and would perhaps eventually become a 3rd world country since students aren't being educated in English really, numerous drop outs, laziness, ando on top of it all--overpopulated.

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.
