If there was more irrigation in Mexico, would there be less immigration to america?

Question

I read a news story that says that something like 50% of Mexico's land is suitable for farming, but lacks water. Have you ever read anything about that/like that?

Answer 1

No-that is not the reason. There water is not being used wisely. They have enough land and water. They plant more crops that are water eaters (like wheat) than others that should be used. They waste it in their methods of irrigation, rain storage, dry farming, solar power and other ways. They need Establishing Precision Farming Education. Both Greed and corruption enters here into this too. Many poorer countries who have less land and water do much better. The people themselves do not demand better for the environment-they seem very lax in these issues and rarely protest.
It is sad that the people here protest so much but do nothing about very important issues that affect so many in their homeland. If not taken care--time will make more wasteland.
We too are harming our own here---not taking care of what we should. Time will tell on both. We have a bit more time on our side.

Answer 2

It's not irrigation that Mexico needs, it's JOBS!

And farming will not help it, so nix the irrigation theory.

What Mexico needs is an advance industrialization policy.
Not these sewing sweatshop that produce trinkets and rubber doo-doos we buy in Spencer Gifts, but an actual mechanized factories that produces goods that the world would actually needs.

Unfortunately, as long as the government allows itself to be corrupted by the 5% rich aristocrats of Mexico.

It ain't happening, amigo...

Answer 3

Actually, I have read that much of Mexico's land is not even suitable for farming due to the many mountainous ranges stretching over it. It is considered very hard to farm land that isn't accessible......Mexico has plenty of water, south Mexico is mainly rain forest.....Northern Mexico is dry and lacks water and is more flat than any part of Mexico....So I guess I do agree about the water lacking in parts of Mexico......

Answer 4

Don't go there. There is a big fight because they want seepage from our rivers but our guys need it for growing population (much of the growth of that population in those areas, ironically, having come illegally from Mexico).

Everyone in the arid areas needs water. California and Arizona and Colorado fight about it all the time. It is a huge issue here as well as there.

Answer 5

Yes, definitely. If the land were more fertile, I'm pretty sure Mexicans wouldn't want to come to America as much. Unfertile land means fewer jobs, no matter which way you slice it.

Answer 6

..here we go again.

The reason Mexicans immigrate to America is that their government tells them that America is "Azatlan" - kind of a Mexican Promised Land. It's the land that God promised Mexicans - to indigenous Mexicans. The folks runnin' **** are not true Mexicans - like Incas, Aztecs, etc. They are the Euro-Mexicans - the Spaniards.

The true Mexicans - the Indians (you know, Aztecs, Incas, Myans), they are impoverished. The government would like to get rid of that problem - so they tell them to go to America (Azatlan) - because it is their land by right.

So, that's why we have such an immigration problem. And, for the most part, the immigrants are poor, uneducated people. That's why their trimming my bushes and not running my country.

Answer 7

the problem isnt farming its power. the problem is illegals would rather steal what we got than fix what they created.

Answer 8

the "irrigation for immagration act". you should pitch that to bush

Answer 9

Answer 10
