Immigration - October 2006

I think Mexican ruling elite are just terrified that they might actually have to deal with the problems in their country if the poor and less educated can't be shipped to America for free education and health care. Why does no one ask Calderon and Fox to explain how they close their borders to illegals? Their methods are harsh. I can't understand why the State Department doesn't make use of that info versus letting us be Mexico's pin cushion!MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - A U.S.-Mexico border fence aimed at keeping illegal immigrants out of the United States will "enormously complicate" relations between the countries, Mexican president-elect Felipe Calderon said on Wednesday.

President Bush signed a law last week that will pay for hundreds of miles of new fences along the border, a move against illegal immigration that Republicans had sought before next month's congressional elections.

Mexicans are livid about the plan, which is seen as a slap in the face to efforts during President Vicente Fox's near-completed six-year term to come to an agreement with Washington on immigration.

"It is going to be a very difficult relationship," Calderon, who takes over from Fox on December 1, said in a television interview of U.S.-Mexico diplomacy during his upcoming administration.

"This fence they are leaving me is going to enormously complicate relations with the United States."

Conservative ruling party candidate Calderon's victory over leftist firebrand Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador in the July 2 election was seen as a foreign relations boost for Washington in Latin America, where anti-U.S. sentiment is high in some countries.

A Florida woman who lost her husband in Iraq may now be deported back to her country of Venezuela. Dahianna’s husband worked in Iraq, providing communications equipment to our military and was killed in March.

Immigration said, she and their 1-year-old son, must return to her home country, even though her son was born here in the United States. She doesn't want to go back because all the family she has is here.

She said she wants to stay in the country her husband helped defend.

From what I read, she has to be married for 2 full years, and she was 3 months short when he was killed. She lost her husband, why do they have to take everything else away? What do you think about it?

They aren't taking "your" jobs. They are taking the jobs that no white person would want to take, because most white people just like to sit in offices with air conditioning getting paid 20 dollars an hour, and then saying that illegal Mexicans are here taking American's jobs. RIGHT!! Let me make this clear not all Hispanics are Mexican, and they are here doing jobs for minimum wage or less which in return helps the U.S. economy. Do you think fruit and vegetables would be so cheap if we had white people in the fields wanting to get paid 20 dollars an hour for picking up fruits and vegatables? I dont think so.

What straw could break the camels back and people demand the freedom to say whatever they like not matter which culture feels offended. We all know the jokes about the Scotsman, the Englishman and the Irishman, the bishop and the pope. Like them or not , they are funny and nobody rants in the streets with their plackards. Now you can't say Boo to a Goose because it might be ofended. So has tolerance gone to far.

I pointed out Jesi because i always see her answers and there very well thought out and i think she is a smart individual so i just wanted her thoughts as well ok here goes.

It is in my belief (not ness. fact nor fiction) That big buisness is a big part to blame for illegal immigration

In fact can big buisness hire americans at good wages and still make a positive profit?

Yes indeed they can look for instense at Kellogs cereal here in omaha nebraska they pay 20$ an hour and all the overtime you want. They still make huge profits. Now some might argue that who do you think harvests the wheat and all that. Again my argument is can we again hire people who are american and still make profit the answer is yes people we dont need maria to clean the toilet or jose to construct our streets to keep cost down. Some say the cost of living would go up. I agree because big buisness wants to make big money and therefor is a greedy industry. However couldnt there be a way of capping

you think The US are bad people? HA!

While migrants in the United States have held huge demonstrations in recent weeks, the hundreds of thousands of undocumented Central Americans in Mexico suffer mostly in silence.


The level of brutality Central American migrants face in Mexico was apparent Monday, when police conducting a raid for undocumented migrants near a rail yard outside Mexico City shot to death a local man, apparently because his dark skin and work clothes made officers think he was a migrant.

They force them to strip, supposedly to search them, but the purpose is to sexually abuse them," she said.

Others said they had seen migrants beaten to death by police, their bodies left near the railway tracks to make it look as if they had fallen from a train.

Nearly every educated person has to agree that Mexico, as a country, has failed miserably. There really is no good reason for the country of Mexico to even exist any more. They cannot provide their people healthcare, jobs, or welfare. Their science, technology and military is minimal. They cannot even develop a plumbing system that allows for flushing toilet paper into the system without clogging the works. The government is entirely ineffective and the police force is among the most corrupt on the planet.

But the question is...why? Why has Mexico failed so miserably? They have rich natural resources, plenty of people, vast lands, and national pride. Yet in every challenge a nation faces, Mexico has proven to be a failure. I have heard students ask this question all the time and I would be curious to hear what others think about this dilemma. Even when Mexico owned land that would later be part of the U. S., they never accomplished anything worth while with it. Why?

Mexico has a radical idea for a rational immigration policy that most Americans would love. However, Mexican officials haven’t been sharing that idea with us

Mexico, which annually deports more illegal aliens than the United States does, has much to teach us about how it handles the immigration issue. Under Mexican law, it is a FELONY to be an illegal alien in Mexico

The Mexican constitution strictly defines the rights of citizens – and the denial of many fundamental rights to non-citizens, illegal and illegal. Under the constitution, the Ley General de Población, or General Law on Population, spells out specifically the country’s immigration policy.

If the United States adopted such statutes, Mexico no doubt would denounce it as a manifestation of American racism and bigotry.

It's getting a bit crowded here. To make it fair it would only be those that cannot trace more than three generations and those that make a valuable contribution to our country. i.e skilled workers that we need, not just Poles that will clean toilets for £2 an hour for example.
