not allowing for economic growth and infrastructure?! That is something that I never understood...there is all this outrage and activism about staying America, yet if the same fervor was applied in their own country...perhaps they could change the state of their much-loved homeland?

No, I'm not naive...and I do blame the government who caters to the corporations love affair with the cheap immigrant labor...corporations profit billions and the tax-payers foot the bill.

Okay, first heartless corrupt Catholic government?? I don't think Catholicism has anything to do with the corruption of the government. If you don't believe me then I suggest you look up the number of Catholic nuns and priests who were killed during the guerilla wars in Latin America. Leave the Catholic bashing out of this argument --it doesn't make any sense.
Anywho, the reason is that the Mexican people have accepted the brainwashing by their government who have shown them that the easier way to make money and provide money for those back home is to work illegally in the United States. The Mexican government is in a win-win situation. They get money within their borders from the illegals in the States, but don't have to worry about the costs of supporting their poor. The funny thing is that the Mexican government has VERY strict illegal immigration laws.

I like your question and detail. I urge you post the web site longer and educate the people about the Mexican people as well as the Latin American.In my personal opinion,I am so sad that these so call Developing Countries are the same and their government never do anything for their people.It is very ugly and the people need to stand tall and fight for the better country. I do not mind if they immigrate to America legally. But now 12 millions are our problem and the U.S. government and the Cooperation are sleeping with each others and now the Masses like you and me picking up a tab.

You are correct, big corporations are exploiting them for cheap labor, therefore, it will not change. If you were paying attention to the news, you would realize that they are protesting in the streets in great numbers because of the way their government is treating them. They tried to elect a president to represent the working poor, but they were cheated, just like Americans. Until recently, the U. S. was their only hope. The working poor cannot organize because all governments are corrupt.

I think that they are madder because they actually think there is nothing wrong with being illegal. They seem to want everything given to them, once they are in the economic picture. When you tell them about the laws they seem to wander away from the problem, I guess they do that in Mexico. It is only right for all the illegals to get their status taken care by the proper guide lines the government has in place.

They look at the US as the 'home of the brave' so they come here to do that.
In Old Mexico, they bow and scrape to anyone in authority or anyone with money. It is not a democracy but an oligarchy.

As bad as America treats them, and even though we stole their land, they still find it better here! Some are actually kidnapped and brought here. There was a case in NC recently where the guys are in jail!
I wish you would quit blaming Mexicans for our use of slave labor! It's the employer's you need to blame, and charge! They are the ones breaking the law! Why do you think Republicans don't pass an immigration bill? Are you really that naive?

They have no power or influence against their heartless corrupt Catholic government. Only in the US does their begging and threats have any effect on the weak minded populace and politicians eager for votes at any cost.

I agree. If they are so pissed about us getting stricter immagration laws maybe they should look to their own borders and improve them. They keep coming here not us to them so why do they get to whine about how our government treats them. HELL they get better benefits immigrating here then I do and I was born in america how fair is that!

Good question. I don't understand that one either.
It seems that the country who has done the most for them, they have anger towards. That doesn't make a bit of sense.
