Regarding illegal immigration, here are my two cents, most of us come here under the impression that we are going to become rich, that there is so much money just laying around because of all the ads put by the US government in the international media. Reality is that if you don’t work hard, learn the language, you will live in worse poverty then where you come from. For Example, if you don’t have enough money to pay rent, you get kicked out, down south, you own your own home, if you need medical attention, the government will provide you with good medical attention, not like the hospitals in LA where everyone saw the patients being transported to the poor end of town to be left unattended.

Once again, thanks!

This is the link to the gallery. I am still working out the bugs on it.

You mention the alleged 12 million illegals in the country Wayne and to qualify that, I will say they have absolutely nothing to do with the Mexican truck issue.

The 12 million here did not arrive overnight. If you will look on my other website, mexicoverdad.com and read the bracero agreement and a couple of other documents there, it will give you a better understanding. The illegals that come to this country are generally from the poorer states in the south of Mexico, Chiapas etc. When you refer to Mexico as a third world country, this is the region that fits this model. Indigenous people, farmers, laborers from unimproved villages. No work to speak of so they send husbands and brothers north.

You also have the Mexican farmers who have been displaced by American subsidies on corn which is a staple crop in Mexico. When it is cheaper to import it from the U.S., than it is to grow it at home, the little man loses.

And here lately,Mexico has discovered that it can import from China, chiles, while although not a flavorful as those grown at home, the price offsets the difference. Thus, you have the chile farmers who cannot earn a profit from their land.
So you have the farmers leaving the land and family and coming north.

You also have people, generally from the south of the country, who have no birth certificates. And in Mexico, without a birth certificate, you are a non-person. These people were born in small villages without a Civil Registro to register the births and no means to travel to a town with one which in some cases can be more than 100 km distance. So you have this class with no birth certificates and without this document, you cannot obtain a Tarjeta Electoral, or voters card which is the de facto national ID. without the ID, they can do nothing, they cannot attend school, obtain a legitimate job that pays into the system, In other words, they are nothing. These are the main group coming.

There are professionals who come and overstay their visas and are considered illegal, but these people are ignored.

I think the solution would be to ease the requirements to allow these folks in, secure the border and arrest those who enter illegally. Because once you ease the restrictions and allow the normal citizen to come and go, the only ones trying to sneak in would be the undesirables and they could then be treated as the criminals they are.

This whole debate is pointless because without common sense and logic, there is no solution.
