Therefore, the problem, when analyzed in depth, is that the
"illegals" are here, not because the want to be here, but because
they were forced from their home country by reasons of
"predatory/exploitative economics" and/or "state sponsored [or at
least condoned] terrorism," largely due to *EXTERNAL forces over
which they have no control, many of which unfortunately appear to
originate in the US from US domiciled trans-national
corporations.

I work with illegals everyday. And to a man (or woman) they came here
because of the money.

They come to Unitos Estatas for the big bucks. They pack together in a
house in large groups, earn serious money and send it back to Mexico
or where ever, in the form of Giros (money orders), to their families
still living there.
When the standard wage in Mexico for example is $5 a day, making
$11.50 per hour pushing a green button, deducting living expenses, and
then sending the rest back to momma and la ninos makes much sense.

Giros are the 2nd or 3rd largest income stream that Mexico has, behind
oil production.

Now they may be here a few years, and then send for the kids because
they find there is far more opportunity in El Norte, in jobs, in free
welfare, free medical and free education.

The Government of Mexico not only publishes and hands out maps and
trip planning in the best ways to sneak into the US, but literature on
the best places and ways to get on the dole.

Many plan on working in the US for 20 yrs, and then going home to
Mexico etc. With a nice nest egg, or even retirement, the money they
bring with them back down south, allows them a very very comfortable
retirement in their home village.

Latinos are not dumb, or hardly stupid. Very industrious people and
hard working. On the other hand, because they are smart..many can and
do take advantage of every perk, entitlement and giveaway that the
Democrats can push their way.

Which is why California for example, has had 85 hospitals and ERs
closed down in the last 9 yrs.

If asked..most will tell you that Mexico is a ******** of corruption
with no jobs or money. So they come north. But they dont consider
themselves immigrants, just temporary workers making enough money for
retirement back home. They admit Mexico etc suck and suck badly..but
they do NOT consider themselves to be new Americans as our ancestors
did.

Want to talk to some George? Id be glad to put them on the phone to
you. Rank and file workers.

Es vertad.
