Guess how many of them are serving with the military? Or have sons and daughters serving?
Stop being played for a fool real american, you noted at the bottom that the fence is being built, we don't actually know when it's being built but aside from that it's 700 miles long yet the border is 2000 miles therefore this is complete P.R complete tokenism.
That is too many.http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/mexico/20070430-0956-mexico-usa-.html9:56 a.m. April 30, 2007MEXICO CITY – Almost one in two Mexicans has a family member working in the United States, and a third of those were sent money in the past year, according to a survey published in Mexican daily El Universal Monday. The poll of 1,000 people showed 45 percent had at least one relative across the border and 61 percent rated the money they send as “very important,” illustrating Mexico's reliance on remittances. Some 11 million Mexicans in the United States sent home a record $23 billion to their families last year – Mexico's second-biggest source of foreign currency after oil imports, even dwarfing the tourism industry. Monday's survey showed immigration to the United States, much of it illegal, peaked during the 1990s, after Mexico was battered by an economic crisis. Eight percent of those polled said they themselves had worked in the United States at some time. As many as one in two people in Mexico live on less than $5 a day, and a lack of job opportunities prompts thousands to risk their lives crossing the border illegally each year. Border arrests were down by just under a third in the first few months of this year but more than 150 immigrants have already died trying to cross over, mainly of heat exhaustion. The United States is building a 700-mile fence along parts of its 2,000-mile border with Mexico and boosting security by adding trucks with infrared cameras, underground sensors that detect footsteps and surveillance drones
I don't know how replying in caps makes a point anymore decisive in fact it works completely the opposite way, as the retort was akin to grade school thinking. Referring to the irish contingent that flocked to the shores of america is extremely ignorant when trying to justify or deflect from the impact of illegal immigration. How many inhabitants were in america when the irish came and how many inhabit now, some estimates put the current population at over 300 million though I will need to read more into. In terms of the illegal immigrants from a short term perspective it does benefit the economy yes but it does not benefit the daily lives of ordinary americans it massively benefits the major corporations. Of course illegal immigrants get exploited but they are also used as the weapon of choice to stretch resources to breaking point, transport infrastrastructure, health care, welfare, plus in addition a massive wave of immigration has the effect of driving down wages. At the same time, the dollar is being devalued to equal something less than the cost of toilet paper, outsourcing continues rampantly for example even Haliburton are leaving the shores to relocate in Dubai and the very budgets themselves are being plundered to the tunes of trillions. Teddy if that was the case then why are there 11 million illegal immigrants officially, which probably means double in reality because of the way in which figures are massaged and manipulated? why if it so incredibly difficult is that I know for a fact that in Texas that mexicans cross with alarming regularity by using the border towns?. As for the cops in Mexico, they always turn a blind eye to illegal immigration over the border and or are paid off because that country really is run by corrupt fucks making the United States look like a kindergarten.
fuck illeagals... We need to deport some leagals too.. I find it sad in 20 years whites will be minoritys in our own country in fact it makes me sick
It IS NOT making the economy worse. If anything its making it better.
Fair point actually teddy but the funding has been set aside for the building of a wall the construction has not taken place yet and could ultimately be pure rhetoric, there will now just be a presumption that the wall will get built and thus the issue seemingly gone away. Aslo what really leaves a bad taste in the mouth, is the mexicans are fleeing a brutal and oppressive societal structure within Mexico and yet instead of the U.S denouncing the Mexican government., they pally up to the government there.
