Mexico Demands U.S. Allow More Immigration

Ya' know, the Mexican government has no spine what so ever. Stalin murdered and imprisoned all of his totally broke uneducated poor, politically incorrect ethnic groups, and criminals. So did Mao, Pol Pot, Mugabi, and a host of other despots. The Brits have there own dark history of dealing with the poor and non-British, and the US has had it's moments.

But the Mexican government, they don't even have the basic male body parts to do any of that. No, they look to the United States weak underbelly (it's porous borders, ineffectual catch-and-release immigration policies, and it's bleeding heart liberal politicians) and expect us to be a net to catch all of their refuse.

They whine about the U.S. wanting to control our borders as being inhumane because it separates families, but the real issue is that illegal immigration is the second largest industry in Mexico.

Mexicans working in the United States are a huge source of revenue for Mexico, sending home more than $16 billion in remittances in 2004, Mexico's second largest source of foreign currency after oil exports according to the country's central bank.



It's to bad that these poor are caught in the grip of a government system that is pretty much geared to keep them poor. Wait, that's what we call welfare!

Aguilar (V. Fox's spokesman) also said migrants "don't emigrate because they lack work, but rather for a series of other reasons, cultural reasons or better living conditions."



Yes. Other reasons. Lack of oppression. Opportunity. Better living Conditions.
