Answer 1

ermmm they want your money and land?

Answer 2

Some places in Mexico ARE nice...I can see why they might say that. I've seen some beautiful pictures of different areas, Cancun, for example. But, no one really wants to talk about the seedier side of things, where the problems are, 'cause that's no fun.
We ignore poverty in america, too, 'cause it's hard to look at.
They talk about a global 'war on poverty', and that's a great concept, because people that have enough aren't desperate, or as desperate, and therefore less likely to go out and commit a crime.

Life, basic life, doesn't really cost that much. Some people get by on 2 bucks a day, doesn't sound like much, but it buys enough food to get from one day to the next. Still, that's a rough life, and not much room for error from one day to the next. So, it's a great concept to try and end poverty. But, it's equally important to look at the root causes OF poverty, and there's been some big changes in the world in the last 50 years. Our population has almost doubled, there's been wars, famines, disease, stuff like that, and with big population growth, some problems are only going to get worse. It is forecast(estimated) that there will be over 9 billion people in the world by 2050. That's assuming there's no increase in the growth rate from now back to 1965 or so. We live, as the chinese might say, in 'interesting times'...

Answer 3

People leave Mexico for a lot of reasons. First, it takes one year to start a legal business in Mexico. Second, Mexican economy is closed to those that don't belong to a Union, or a monopolistic state or private enterprise. Finally. The wage ratios in Mexico are to 10 to 1, and Southern Mexico makes 3 times less than Northern Mexico. To it in perceptive Mexico in 2006 has a standard of living like Untied States in 1935 that will explain the migration pull right there. A person who stays in Mexico its because they have a job to raise a family, and pay bills. The Mexican economy needs to produce one million jobs a year, but it only produces like half that amount. That surplus of workers is gonna head to Untied States its simple supply and demand of labor.
The higher standard of living Mexico has the higher standard of living we have in the Untied States. Internal growth is lacking in Mexico, but it takes time to untangle the mess the PRI left behind from 70 years of mismanagement and graft. Income parity should be the goal with Mexico long term. The comment you made is based on lack of knowledge and information on the economic and social sitatuons in Mexico.

Answer 4

Well its because it is a grand place.they are proud of where they came from. just like i'm sure if you visited or lived in another country you would brag about how great your country of origin is. and mexicans don't stay there the same reason pilgrims didn't stay in europe,because the government is corrupted,the cops are corrupted and because they no longer feel safe there and were tired of the rich exploiting them.So now that i answered your question tell me why did your ancestors move to the U.S to begin with and please don't give me the i'm 1/3 native american story because if we all look back into our history we all have native american blood in us. i'm just interested in the European or Irish or whatever other country your descendants came from. why did they move here if it was so great there?

Answer 6

Becuase in alot of cases, if you beomce a citizen LEGALLY America can open alot of doors to families who live in Mexico. There are alot of work and school opertinities that they may not be able to recieve in Mexico that they can in America. People just want what is best for there family. No one ever wants to just come here illegally and start trouble.

Answer 7

Because what they love about Mexico is the people and memories they left behind, the friends and the region that is so beautiful. What they hate and try to escape is the poverty, crime and government corruption that no matter how hard you try to fight against it, it will always come out winning. America has it's shares of slums, homegrown criminals and corruption as well, but we love it because the "idea" of America and first thing that comes to anyone's mind is the freedom you have to be who and what you want to be and because of the opportunities we have here to obtain this. Can you blame anyone of any country for wanting that?

Answer 8

Because their government doesn't give them free food, a place to live and free healthcare at the expense of others.

Answer 9

This question has been asked a million times. Come up with something new. You guys are boring me with the same questions. And because they have pride in the country they came from. Having pride and being proud to have been born there is one thing, but staying there and starving is not an option. Does that answer your question.

Answer 10

1st you might want to try that spell check button. Mexico is poor. They have little opportunity for a decent future. They come here for the same opportunity that many of our parents and grandparents came here for. Ultimately, anywhere there is a prosperous nation that borders a poor one, there will be illegal immigration problems.

Answer 11

It seem like you are an ignorant girl, I don't really know what nationality you are? and I don't care but if you were a little more educated you would know why? and you would not ask silly questions. Read more about the different cultures that are around you before asking silly questions.
