This is a great question, and this is a great idea, as well. Besides, it's been done already, but there are lots of work that can be solved in that form yet. And of course it would reduce the immigration (not all of the immigration) but a part of it. \n\nMany of the immigration, either legal and illegal, is for people on the IT business, that's why some of the big IT companies in the USA, have asked to increase the visas for that specialized people.\n\nBut this idea involves a lot of work that must be done, by American clients, and Mexican Business as well. What do i mean. In Mexico, there are not a lot of solid companies that can provide TI outsourcing to that broad range of posible clients. We need to encourage the creation of that kind of business, and we have to focus the education on the analisis and design skills, and the use of the analysis and desing tools. \n\nIn Mexico, as providers, we are not used to use that kind of tools in order to comunicate with the client, or with the users, or with the business analyst. That make us that kind of work dificult.\n\nBesides, there must be done some efforts to increase the medium wages, so, the developers would have that as a good reason to stay here, instead of getting a job in the USA.

Do you mean who would reap the benefits more. Of course the USA. Competition: If you don't have a college education you don't go far in this country. I don't see that as being a bad thing, more like a motivator. Geez! Don't yell. You should have said that in the first place. Politically USA more on Mexico.

That is because they tend to be the ones who came here legally under an immigration system slanted intentionally to get skilled workers.   Middle class immigrants are a net benefit economically. Those are the ones who become citizens, typically.  \n\nOn the other hand, since middle class and wealthier people subsidize services such as education, health care and welfare for the poor, poor immigrants are a net economic drain even where they pay all taxes.  That is why their numbers are limited and is why the wait to get here is long.\n\nFor a better picture of immigrant economic impact overall, try this: http://www.cis.org/articles/2005/back1405.html

That's only in LA. So, even though you say big numbers like 29%,90% etc. and fractions like 2/3 you fail to mention that the population is significantly made up illegal immigrants and besides they cannot get out of paying state taxes when purchasing. You are also failing to mention the fact that even though 40% of workers in LA (legal or illegal) get paid cash and don't pay taxes, the US "entrepreneurs" who employ them also get out of paying that portion (and even more than the employee) of social security, medicare, state disability, insurance, EDD and Regular Payroll Fees, and certain minimal benefits that are usually provided with any job. To cut this one short it ends up that you benefit from this whole thing too (you can figure that one out on your own... I hope).\n\nOh your comment about Mexican people not being able to run a government, it's more like the Mexican govt. can't run the country. Mexico's govt. has it's share of problems, more than the US and still the Mexican people know it's the govt. and don't blame their problems on the flow of illegal immigrants crossing the border from South America in to Mexico.

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

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@\n\nLeave Mexico alone.  \n\nIt is man-made division anyway!  How would anyone like to be on the other side of the less fortunate.\n\nI think it is usually the ones who are not getting ahead who are really afraid of others taking their patch.\n\nThe successful and purposeful people (not necessary rich) don't worry this much about migrants coming to steal their bread, rice, pasta, etc. They know if they work hard enough, they'll have their share!\n\n_________________________________________\nIt is like the dog that sits put guarding his bowl for his master to top it up, eats whatever is given, not much of a choice; \n\nThese dogs are similar to people who don't travel (besides some genuine cases of dislike for travels), people who can't afford to travel because they are losers waiting around their little plot ready to jump at newcomers who move around for their existence.  \n\nAt least these migrants (I only support legal ones) are doing something positive about their lives - taking charge of their destiny and being proactive for their existence.  They are those who don't believe that someone else own them their living!)\n\n\nVersus the other dog who leaves his bowl knowing where to find food elsewhere, finds what he likes, having choices!  and then when these winners cast their eyes besides them, they see nothing but the same old loser of a 'bowls-guarding dogs'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loser with mentality that because we are born on this patch, we have the rights to sit down and wait to be served??????\n\nThe quicker these mentality of birth rights are put in the right perspective, this world will have less losers.\n\nPeople who keep barking around their bowls are losers anyway.  So they can keep barking, nothing much will change.  \n\nThe hard workers win, it is nature's law, like it or not!\n\n------------------------------------------\n\n@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

The problem with Mexico is that much of the country doesnt have much of an export/import like US and Europe do to provide the country with an annual gross income and many of the jobs in Mexico are farming and if you're lucky to work in places that are major tourist attractions like Puerto Villarta Cancun and Acapulco or even Cabo San Lucas. Mexico only has the tourist industry barely getting them out of poverty, but it's the laws that are keeping much of the country in poverty this explains why you see so many mexican nationals illegally crossing into the United States.

Easy... can be summed up in two reasons\n\n #1.) Illegals form a significant flow of money to the Mexican economy (or politicans' pockets, same thing). \nThis is the thing that should dispel those lies that illegals are good for the USA, because if it were a good thing those illegals would at least keep all the money in the USA, but instead all those dollars are sent to Mexico.\n\n#2.) The more poor and dissatisfied that remain in Mexico, the more likely revolution or reform will take place as they eventually realize that they need to wake up and that their easy ticket is not easy anymore.\nI do not need to tell you that this would be bad for the current crop of corrupt imbeciles running Mexico.

First off let me say that I am a white American. I live in  Southern Oregon and speak both english and spanish. I have many Legal Mexican-American friends. That being said. If you sneak into this country you are breaking the law!!! Deport them. My legal Mexican friends moved here seeking better wages and did it legally. Additionally they are very fine people who I am pleased to have in my community. They follow the letter of the law. They are model citizens. They do not like criminals who sneak into our country.

Mexico is all for their citizens slipping into our country and 'earning' money to bring back to their country.. what better and easier way to bring in the bucks and help their economy? As a matter of fact, the Mexican government, for the past few years, has been issuing a pamphlet to it's citizens instructing them on how to 'avoid injury and possible death' when crossing the border to search for employment.  OUR government knew about this pamphlet all along but did nothing until just recently when American citizens began raising hell about it.  EACH illegal who comes to this country takes IN approximately $2700. MORE than they pay out in taxes.. IF they pay any at all.  That totals to somewhere around $10 BILLION dollars each year! OUR government.. WE taxpayers.. are shipping $10 BILLION to Mexico for nothing!  Illegals put a strain on our system that is very near to breaking it.. they stress our hospitals [they have no insurance], they stress our schools [we have no government allotments for non-citizens but they still gain something resembling an education] and they put a nearly choking stress on our penal and judicial systems. Where illegals gather, the crime rate jumps nearly 75% in some places.  And as if all of that weren't bad enough, illegals are solely responsible for actually bringing LEPROSY back into this country..among many other untreated and untested diseases.  We MUST do something!  Each one of us has the power to make a difference.. at the very least we vote out the members of our government who turn a blind eye to this problem.. but even better.. raise your voice! Write your representatives.. again and again ..for as long as it takes to make them listen.  If we sit idly by and do nothing.. then we have no one to blame when the primary language in this country becomes Spanish.

you would think so - dont even get me started on this subject - in my town the mexicans either stand at the gas station in the mornings waiting for someone to pull up in a truck and give them a days work (although, they wont take less than 10/hr UNDER THE TABLE OF COURSE, you have to buy them lunch, and you cannot even communicate to them what you need them to do - or, they stand outside one of the churches waiting for a free meal.  our countrys open door policy not only encourages the laziness of immigrants, but rewards them for it.  BS.  my grandparents came over from the czech republic, italy and poland - they all went to school, learned english and both of my grandfathers became surgeons, pilars of the community.  it isnt immigrants in general that are the problem - and im not saying its all hispanics either - but, if you want to live in this country you should learn to speak the language, educate yourself and your family and give something back to this great nation that took you under its wing.

None of them come for fun.   How fun is it to work in construction in the dead of summer, sweating your ass off for 10 hours a day? Sound fun to you? Or how about seeding someones lawn and cutting grass, and planting flowers out in the damn sun for 50 hours a week?  Wow that sounds like great fun to me!!!   Western Union is on fire, and has been since immigrants starting immigrating here years ago, know why? because that pay check the mexicans got on Monday tues wed thurs or friday is being wired to a bank in Mexico for their wifes, sisters, daughters, sons or grand children to pick it up.  Ever walked into a grocery store and saw Mexicans lined up at the customer service desk, they're sending their paychecks to mexico.  That's what they come here for.  Lets deport all mexicans shall we??  I guess you might as well not go out to dinner anywhere, forget Chili's, or Olive Garden or your favorite barbeque place, because if we deport them all, are you gonna go back there and make your dinner yourself? They make up all our restraunts, and those roads youre driving on to take you to work everyday, are being paved by  hard working mexicans because no fat lazy ass american wants to slave out in the hot sun for hours on end.    Granted, there's your stereotype mexican, who stares at women, and says things in spanish that you don't understand, but not every mexican is like that.  They honestly come here to make a living and LEAVE.  They dont' want to stay here.  This is foreign to them.   it takes time to save up money, and most of them work 40+hours a week.   Know why restraunts keep hiring mexicans even tho they are threatened every week by the immigration office, because they come to work, and on time, and work their butts off... Did you know that only 20% of americans come to work on time everyday of the week?  Yeah, 20% out of how many millions? I'm not a mexican advocate, I'm just saying, I've been witnessed to what is going on in america and how mexicans are treated, and americans are so SCARED they're gonna come and take their jobs.  Give me a break, have you seen an illegal alien becoming a lawyer, or a doctor... please...  they take the jobs we DONT WANT..so whats the big deal?  Let them come and make some money for their families.  More americans are on welfare than anywhere else, because they don't want to work.  So you hate Mexicans for wanting to make a better life?   \n\nDo you know what it costs to become a LEGAL resident of the United States? Thousands of dollars. I'm not talking about getting a green card and working a job part time and then coming back to Mexico, I'm saying... actually applying at the immigration department, and waiting..not to mention it takes up to 10 years to even get an answer. You all need to read up on your facts. Would you want to wait 10 years to get citizenship, would your kids wait 10 years to eat, because you couldn't get decent money in the country you're living in? They come here for the money. Not to take over our jobs, homes, and land. Get a clue.\n\nFrankly, I could care less. If we become a minority, so be it. Mexicans work harder, and longer than any white folk. I'm white, and I'll tell you what, I wouldn't do half the jobs that mexicans do, for 3 bucks an hour. If you want something done, and DONE right, and not half-assed, then hire a mexican. They are always on time, they always put in more than required, and they always do a great job. Of course there's very few of them, that don't do a good job.. which is like a good portion of americans ( unemployment line is proof enough ). The way I look at it is.. If we can send troops over to IRAQ to make their government more civilized and feed other countries, etc... and all the lovely things we do for 3rd world countries, then by god we should go over to Mexico, and assist them with getting the mexican residents in mexico higher paying jobs. Their jobs over t

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.

Because there's too many Mexicans coming in, working, & sending most of their money back to Mexico, to their families. Some are living pretty comfortable on US$, they'll never have to pay taxes on. It doesn't help are econome

I am Mexican and I lived in the US, but I was not illegal. Most illegal immigrants have a bad way of life and for them the US is the only opportunity to have a better life. I know that it is illegal and wrong, but for most of them, life did get better and it makes me feel good because I HATE seeing anything suffer. The reason why illegals go to the US is that they see the American way of life, and they wish they had such a good quality of life, and unfortunately, in Mexico, many people have a bad quality of life.

Why sneak in?\nBecause it's faster and easier than going through the legal channels.  Because all they have to do is walk through the desert for a few hours.  Because the system allows illegals to work here, and employers to hire them without any documentation.  Because Mexico isn't doing enough to strengthen it's own economy and has become a leech on the underside of the US.  Ask Western Union how much money is sent to Mexico if you don't believe that.\nIt's really not about race, it's about money.  People want to have money and will do whatever they can to get it.  I don't blame them for coming here, but I don't think that allowing it is good for the US.
