Is so, how come the vast majority of undocumented migrants from Mexico were gainfully employed before they left for the United States. Thus, failure to find work at home does not seem to be the primary reason that the estimated 6.3 million undocumented migrants from Mexico have come to the U.S. Policies aimed at reducing migration pressures by improving economic conditions in Mexico may also need to address factors such as wages, job quality, long-term prospects and perceptions of opportunity.
This (and many other items out there) just proves that the pro-illegal alien crowd has no arguments that are based on facts.

Oh now now, stop being a racist xenophobe...
I say Welcome Mexicans Come on in
I don't know what the big fuss is over immigration. You should be happy that people want to come here to the US. The more people the better. After all look at what it has done to the quality of life so far! You get fresh produce, doesn't matter that it is tainted with **** from the fields, it is fresh and cheap. Otherwise it would be more expensive and free from feces.
How about our city streets. The are jammed with cars, so much that you can't find a parking space. The Richmond and Sunset districts are all now part of Chinatown! We should be happy that the Asians have the ability to have 4 or 5 families with 4 or 6 cars parked outside, using the housing, after all, if there was only one family to a house, they would take over all of the city!
Look at what the gangs do, they exhibit free spray can art all over the cities. So what if it takes city workers all the time to clean up, hey it's Art!
Now look at would happen if they didn't cram your ER rooms at your hospitals. Hell, I can remember that when you went to an ER you could go right in and be seen within minutes, Now they have made it nice so that you can sit in the waiting room for hours reflecting and meditating while they get free health care and medical treatment which you so graciously pay with your tax subsidies.
While we are on the subject of tax subsidies, I think you should not burden anyone by making them fill out the forms for welfare, we should just send a check out to anyone who wants one, working or not, for about 1000 dollars a month per child.
This would give an incentive to anyone to squeeze out 6 or 10 kids, so that they would be valuable workers here, doing jobs Americans don't want to do. They shouldn't have to go to work for it either. Thats not the American way!
They should also have a way to support Gangs, Gangs are important social organizations that keep the population under control, are a cheap distribution network for drugs, and are the number one supporters of the tattoo ink industry.
Without gangs, the tattoo parlor and ink businesses would suffer greatly!
Also , gangs are important for the underground gun industry. What the general public doesn't realize is that gang members are lucky that they don't have to wait for waiting periods or background checks to get their weapons, hell, just think of how good that is for the gun manufacturer's!
Another industry saved by the gangs!
well, I wish I could come up with more reasons to just let everyone in, maybe some of you readers can help. I hope that the immigrants that have lost their papers, while crossing the boarders increase as much as they want.

No. Most of the illegal aliens are coming north after they have worked for a while and gotten enough money together to make the trip, get caught one time, and made another effort to get across the border.
Mexico has jobs.. they are not so good as some of the jobs in the United States, but the growers in Southern Mexico prefer to hire Guatemalans because they handle the freshly picked crop better than Mexicans do. But lots of jobs in all areas, although not in science, but those jobs don't exist in Mexico.
------------------------------------
The Mexican, and Guatemalans are coming north because Mr. Bush has not said he would not provide them amnesty. They still believe that may happen. Further, the Democratic Party supports the idea that there will be amnesty.. and supports the idea that the Dream Act will be passed. If the Dream Act is passed, the American Taxpayer will educate million of illegal aliens in this country up to the age of 30 I believe.

Jobs here pay a lot more money- enough to accumulate savings. American money goes much much farther in Mexico and these people can return home and live very comfortably if they work for several years. Mexico is a very poor country.

No. Mexico actually has low unemployment. In the labor market, though, it does suffer from 'underemployment' - jobs are for too few hours or too low wages compared to what can be earned in 'the north.'
Then, of course, there's the corruption and the racism. It's no accident that most Americans think of hispanics as 'brown,' when, in fact, many Mexicans are positively 'white.' It's the persecuted 'mestizos' who disproportionately flee accross the border to America.

There are jobs in Mexico but they only pay about $5 a day. Why work for that pittance when you can get paid $10 an hour by Tyson foods, or get a good salary working in construction? They save a lot of money by living in crowded apartments, and they send tens of billions of dollars back to Mexico every year.

Good point. All the best documented, most accurate information we can find seems to stand 180 degrees opposite what the agenda-driven media rant on with.
Where are those walking skeletons, anyway? The reality is more like walking bone-heads who refuse to do what's necessary for improvement.

Flaming_Liberal: very funny! thanks! Oh, but, by the way, be careful about planting your tongue. There's plenty of water there. So if you fall asleep on the beach and your mouth gapes open, your planted tongue may well receive enough sunshine to make those buds sprout leaves.

How can you have a logical argument when the status of the people the Pros are defending starts with the word "Illegal" and using arguments containg the word "Aztlan....Oztlan...." Whatever.

Yes, and the reason that the Mexican government doesn't stop them is because they don't want change. If there is unhappy poor people in your country, who is most likely to cause trouble or possibly a revolution. Instead let them go to America and leave the population that is better off in Mexico, they won't complain due to their higher lifestyle.

It's a question of salary. You can be working for 5 pesos an hour and the statistics would show that you are "gainfully employed".
Think a little before believing information from interest groups.
