Why does Mexico want its citizens to leave so badly?

Question

Example: Why does the government protest even mildly more restrictive policies toward illegal immigrants?

Answer 1

Because 90 % of those that have recently left send billions of dollars back to Mexico and the Mexican economy reaps the beneifits.

Answer 2

Because Mexico is one of the poorest third world countries there is and the corruption of the government constantly takes from the citizens without giving anything back. The Mexican government does not want a large population that can hold them responsible and they want the money that the illegal aliens send back to their families in Mexico. They get most of it thru theft, intimidation, overpricing and taxes. Mexico is supposed to be a democracy however there is very few if any honest people in government there. The police are corrupt as is the military. The stories you hear of bribes accepted by the police are true I have seen it first hand. The biggest export from Mexico is drugs and people and they intend to make as much money from us as they can and they will use the system and the people of this country to further their own ends. If the Mexican people demonstrated the way our citizens do the government would immediately order the execution of as many people it deemed necessary to stop any more like it.

Answer 3

Three reasons.

1 - When there are poor or homeless around, it's drain on the economy. Many cities in northern states do the same thing - during the winter, when the homeless are cold, they get bus tickets to warmer, southern states.

2 - Again, a boost for the economy - the money sent home is spent into the Mexican economy.

3 - The poor in Mexico, who need to stage a revolution there are instead "helped" by their "caring" government to go to the US to earn money. This way, there will be no revolution and the "haves" will still be WAY richer than the lower class. The rich in Mexico never want a middle class to develop.

Answer 4

First of all, just look at them and tell me, what do they have to contribute? Mexico's government is corrupt and greedy, so they basically have no use for anyone who can't line their pockets. So how do they solve that problem? Well, it's now a well known fact that Mexico's second largest financial industry is the money sent back across the border from illegal Mexican workers in the United States. It amounts to billions of dollars.

Answer 5

Number one is money coming back to Mexico from the U S A, next they do not want all of their citizens out, just the poor.

Answer 6

America is Mexico's relief valve. If mexico's citizens were not able to pour over the border, then the only way they could better their situation would be to overthrow their corrupt government. Beside's money sent into mexico by illegals is mexico's second largest source of income. To sum it up, Mexico needs the US to enable them to remain corrupt.

Answer 7

For the most part it's the uneducated labor class that's leaving. Mexico has an abundant supply, far more than they need as a matter of fact. It isn't doctors or other professionals bailing out of Mexico.

Answer 8

We dont want Mexicans in our country why would they lol. Just kidding. Actually the money that Mexican immigrants whether illegal or legal sends home to Mexico is actually the second biggest source of revenue next to oil for the Mexican government. Why do you think they protest so hard about US immigration reform.

Answer 9

Lots of reasons. The influx of cash that some of them send to their families helps their economy, some of them will return with better education and skills, and maybe they will eventually vote in their state or even federal elections to accept Mexico's offer to annex North America.

Answer 10

Because remittances from people living here who often take benefits based on unprovable income, yet still send money home, constitute the second highest foreign source of income to Mexico, second only to oil.

At home they drain Mexico's (barebones) services rather than ours, and don't send money.
