Immigration - October 2006

apparently the cofff cofff cofffdumbs republicans forgot about the enviroment once more .

Mexico has thousands of very valuable unique plants right on the border and could lose them if they made such project .

i think that if they decide to do it , they should make it full of holes so the native plants and animals don't be be affected by such ugly view .

sorry about my cofffs i am kind of sick today :(

Since many are so quick to label the Anti-Illegal crowd as "racist", "bigots", or "rednecks", I was just wondering if I'm the only one who thinks it is possible.

My position:
I'm okay with legal immigration, just not illegal. Some would automatically call me a racist. Yet I have a son who is half Mexican, and I'm pretty sure I don't hate my own boy.

So, do you think all those who are against illegal immigration are bigots? Or is calling them that just an easy way to discount their point of view?

I have freedom of speech and it doesn't specify in what language. If you don't understand what I say or what I write then get yourself a damn translator, not everything in life is supposed to be nice and pretty! America doesn't have an official language, and even if it did I am still free to talk to my people in whatever language I choose. Now you're gonna tell me to get out? NO! I am staying here with my TRULY AMERICAN friends who accept cultural differences.

Aside from psycho who keeps cloning and attacking other users, why is there so much anger between the two sides of the argument about illegal immigration?

My last question was (so I thought) pretty inoffensive, and another user suggested I should have died on 9-11 simply for asking it.

No, I am not whining. I can take weak insults like that. I'm just wondering why anyone thinks this petty and childish behavior is helping their argument.

Any thoughts?

At the beginning of every school year, bad news comes from Mexican heartland states such as Zacatecas and Querétaro: Local authorities are closing hundreds of schools because so many families have moved north to the U.S. heartland.

Mexicans feel helpless before the migrant exodus, and talk about it the same way they talk about the weather. Everyone complains about it, but there´s not much you can do about it.

On Friday night, the U.S. Senate approved a 700-mile high-tech border barrier in a bid to stop the immigrant flow. The decision, a seminal event in the two neighbors´ relations, has left many Mexicans wondering if the open door to the north is closing.

Some Mexicans saw the vote as a collective slap in the face that highlighted the failure of their country´s leaders to give Mexicans a reason to stay home.

"Our politicians have not lived up to their responsibilities toward the people who migrate," said Homero Aridjis, a poet, activist and onetime Mexican diplomat. "Our government has failed before the economic and social plight of the poor."

"I´m from Michoacán," said Aridjis. "When I go there, I see fertile farmland and orchards that have been abandoned."

Few observers here expect the new barriers to stop people from Mexico and Central America from seeking a better life in the United States. New smuggling routes are expected to open through ever-more-remote stretches of desert, or over the waters of the river that Mexicans call the Rio Bravo del Norte.

WAVE OF MIGRATION

But the bill approved by both houses of U.S. Congress, and soon to be signed by U.S. President George W. Bush, might signal the end of an era that has seen dramatic cultural and demographic changes in both countries.

The wave of Latin American migration that began in the 1980s helped make Hispanics the largest minority in the United States and the largest ethnic group in Los Angeles and many other U.S. cities. The beginning of the 21st century saw Hispanic immigration spread to almost every corner of the United States, with Spanish-speaking communities booming in states such as Tennessee and Ohio.

Latin Americans see the initiative as a rejection of the cultural changes brought forth by Hispanic in the United States. In angry editorials and speeches, Mexican writers and politicians have compared the project to the Berlin Wall and the Great Wall of China.

"The exploitation of fear among the citizens of the United States has been at the center of the debate," the newspaper EL UNIVERSAL said in an editorial Saturday. "This wall, like all those built with xenophobic aims, will be far from effective."

President Vicente Fox and President-elect Felipe Calderón have denounced the new fence, as have a host of Mexican political leaders.

´SAFETY VALVE´

For decades, social scientists here have seen migration to the north as a "safety valve" that keeps Mexico from exploding into social conflict. Now, a small number of voices are saying the brain and muscle drain to the U.S. cannot continue indefinitely.

When the head of the Central Bank, the Banco de México, told a Texas newspaper last week that a new wall between the United States and his country might not be such a bad thing, his remarks were front-page news here. Surprisingly, there were few public expressions of disagreement.

"It would be best to keep its people in Mexico, and it would give incentives for Mexico to create jobs that are needed," Guillermo Ortiz, the bank official, said in an interview with the editorial board of The Dallas Morning News.

Rather than return to Mexico, many immigrants are sending for their families, accelerating the declining enrollment in rural Mexican schools, analysts say. In Zacatecas, state education officials said last month they were closing 269 schools because of declining enrollments.

CLOSING THE BORDER

Before 1929, Mexicans were not required to obtain a visa to enter the United States. Ever since, "The history of the border has been a history of closing the border," said Tony Payan, a professor at the University of Texas, El Paso and author of "The Three U.S.-Mexico Border Wars: Drugs, Immigration, and Homeland Security."

The new measures approved Friday will seal off most of the Arizona-Mexico border. Immigrant smugglers probably will move farther east, to remote crossing points on the Rio Grande upriver from the Texas cities of Eagle Pass and Del Rio, Payan said.

Wayne Cornelius of the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies at the University of California, San Diego, told the Judiciary Committee that even if the entire land border were sealed off, immigrant smuggling probably would move to the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.

Lorenzo Meyer, one of Mexico´s leading historians, argued that the Senate vote had revealed an essential hypocrisy in U.S.-Mexico relations.

"In 1993 we signed the North American Free Trade agreement," Meyer said. "It was supposed to be the beginning of a period of cooperation and friendship." Now the U.S. government has "unilaterally" announced the construction of a wall, he said, despite Mexico´s strenuous objections.

"We see now that the idea of a united ´North America´ is fiction," Meyer said. "The reality is the wall."

I think so because my questioned get deleted that correlate latinos with illegals. They are jjust two things you can't seperate. The latinos are the ones that call racism because they know that over 80% of illegals are latinos. They are paranoid and bring the race card on themselves. There is nothing racist about associating latinos with illegals aliens..it is just a fact that they are the majority. The latino leftist rhetoric is the primary voice in immigration rallies...which by the way is a racist voice for the most part

Too often, the issue of illegal immigration in the U.S. is viewed as a racial issue. For some groups [on both sides, i.e. KKK, La Raza (The Race), etc.] it is a racial issue. However, for the majority of Americans, it is more of a legal/illegal issue. The latinos have trouble viewing it as a legal issue when many Americans break laws with no remorse (speeding, etc.). How about language? If the hispanic immigrants, both legal and illegal, showed a sincere desire to learn English and use it as we do, would illegal immigration be such a big deal? Does it really have to do with laws, economics, or race? Or is it really just a communication barrier stemming from a culture clash?

Mexico once again shows us it has no shame and what a bunch of hypocrites they are over there.
By MARK STEVENSON
Associated Press Writer

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- President Vicente Fox's spokesman said Tuesday that an extended U.S. border fence was "useless and unworkable," and he predicted that the two countries would reach some form of immigration accord "sooner or later."

In a diplomatic note sent to the United States on Monday, Mexico harshly criticized a U.S. Senate vote authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the border. The project will cost an estimated $1.2 billion.

It must be signed into law by President Bush, and Mexico is lobbying him to veto it.

Presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar said Mexico still wants comprehensive immigration reform that would allow more people to migrate to the United States legally.
Aguilar said the border fence would affect the environment and ecology, and even the reproduction of some species.

But he said Mexico had no plans to file the kind of environmental lawsuit that was used to temporarily block another big U.S. border project, the lining of the All-American Canal, just north of the U.S.-Mexico border. The irrigation canal delivers Colorado River water to farms in California's Imperial Valley.

A 23-mile section of the canal has leaked river water into a groundwater aquifer shared with Mexico for decades, and plaintiffs in the case claimed that farmers and wildlife south of the border now depend on the seepage.

U.S. authorities want to line the earthen structure with concrete to save water. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in August ordered work on the canal to stop while an appeal is heard in a lawsuit aimed at blocking the project.

"For the moment, a measure like the one used in the case of the All-American Canal is not being contemplated," Aguilar said.

Their rhetoric sounds just like what people said when the Black Civil Rights Movement took place. What did they say when this occurred. "They just going to take over ain't they" come on get a grip. Immigrants.....yes the illegals are here to stay. If they are ready for civil war here in the United States on top of defending ourselves from these infiltrated terrorist they can keep on spouting your rhetoric which amounts to nothing as long as they sit cowardly looking at that screen.
