what do you think of Calderon's plan?

Question

many times i have heard on here that the illegals are doing us a favor as our growing elderly population is growing so, them paying into our social security will help us(hmm mrrm ) . well what about all the elderly they are leaving behind in mexico evidently the president of mexico thinks its a big problem he is offering companies incentives to pay young Mexicans higher wages. giving them an incentive to stay home and develop higher skills. This loss of labor can't go on forever. Mexico is losing people as it is (growth has slowed to 1.16% from 1.53% in 2000)
Calderon is up against not just market forces. Mexico's young people are leaving for El Norte even before they start looking for work in Mexico because their peers are doing it.

It also complements Calderon's emphasis on the rule of law. Unlike his predecessor, Vicente Fox, who sought amnesty for illegals in the U.S., he is urging the U.S. to accept more legal workers to end border chaos.

Answer 1

i think he's trying to improve things in his country, good for him. he should help us with the border fence. he can keep them in and we can keep them out. hope things work out for him.

Answer 2

like with many new plans in mexico...i'll believe it when i see it....but he is on the right path. the only way to keep illegals out...well, the only reason why they are leaving in the first place, is because they can't get a decent job. if mexico improves, the US benefits. mexico has the resources to make a really good "team" with the US, they just need to get stronger...and i hope they can.

Answer 3

Maybe if they pay a higher wage in Mexico, the companies will come back. no, but maybe less illegals desperate here

Answer 4

His plan is to keep the rich in the money and everyone else down.
