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.

Having lived in LoCal for 35 years, that's pretty much all I ever
heard, too, other than better weather than they had in BF Mexico.


They come to Unitos Estatas for the big bucks. They pack together in a

That's "Estados Unidos", mon. (Español 101)


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.

It's also a major income stream for companies like Western Union, who
makes billions on their sheets of paper (MOs) every year.


If asked..most will tell you that Mexico is a ******** of corruption

Then they find that particular reality here, too, though not as openly
flaunted as it is in Los Estados Unidos de Mexico.


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.

And THAT is the particularly nasty reality. The new immigrants are not
blending in, becoming melted into Americans. They keep their own
traditions and languages, forming their own mini-countries right here
in the States. That, too, is helping to tear our country apart.

Deport all illegals of any race/creed/color and put our out-of-work
forces back to work. Neither side will like it much at all, but it has
to be done, especially in the face of the new and looming recession.
