President Calderón during Meeting with Mexican Ambassadors and Consuls Abroad

Monday, January 7 | Speech

It is proven that the Mexican migrants have assimilated to the American culture and that they respect their laws. It is also proven that there is more entrepeneurship, for example the Kauffman Foundation indicates that the index of business activity is 40 percent superior among the migrant workers that among the native U.S. population.

This it is an important way to counteract the anti-immigrant and anti-mexican environment that contaminates our relations in the region.

KAUFFMAN FOUNDATION STUDY:

http://research.kauffman.org/cwp/appmanager/research/researchDesktop;jsessionid=HE2l7o2IXSfzdHPZfvznHqFQP6FnGZyhq50CH49RDj2LZMyMgi4o!-1291982026?_nfpb=true&_pageLabel=research_resourceDetail&keep=all&id=Research/Resource/Journal_Article_2956.htm&_nfls=false

Abstract: Determines the self-employment rates for immigrants to the United States, examines how this differs from native-born men's self-employment rates, and analyzes the impact of assimilation and changes in cohort quality on the immigrant population's self-employment experience. Prior research on the labor market participation of immigrants has often ignored self-employment. Data drawn from the 1970 and the 1980 U.S. Census were analyzed. The sample selection was limited to male persons aged 18-24 in 1970 and 28-64 in 1980, and the study was conducted separately for each of six major immigrant groups: Mexican, Cuban, other Hispanic, Asian, Caucasian, and African-American.

Findings show that education has a positive, significant impact on self-employment rates in all samples. Self-employment increases with labor force experience and marital status, with the exception of African-American males. Surprisingly, poor health status of individuals was shown to have a positive impact on self-employment for most of the immigrant groups studied. Also demonstrated is the fact that self-employment probabilities are almost always larger for immigrants than for the native-born. For immigrants who have resided in the U.S. for 10 years or more, the probability of self-employment is equal to or greater than for the native-born. In the absence of quality differences among immigrant cohorts, most of the self-employment gap propensities between foreign and native-born are created within 5 to 10 years after immigration. Therefore, it can be concluded that assimilation increases self-employment probabilities. As well, geographic enclaves of immigrants increase the self-employment opportunities for immigrants sharing the same national background or language as the residents of the enclave. (SFL)

This outdated study will be used by the pro-amnesty pushers when they confront William at television debate the next time amnesty is pushed.

By then, William will know about the faulty conclusions that the Mexican proponents will dish out. He will hit their argumetns out of the park!

All that study means is that proportionately more Mexicans living in the US work as subcontractors and employ others over others as contractors compared with Americans. That does not say much it enables tax and benefit avoidance.

DOES CALDERON PROVIDE A LINK TO THE DETAILS OF THIS STUDY? WHO IS THIS COMPANY? HOW WAS THE STUDY DONE. DID THEY INTERVIEW PEOPLE FOR THIS STUDY? OR DID THEY USE PUBLIC RECORDS FOR THIS STUDY? IF THEY USED PUBLIC RECORDS FOR THIS STUDY....IN WHAT REGION? WHAT TYPE OF PUBLIC RECORDS DID THEY USE? ALL OF THESE WOULD BE IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO ASK. AND THE STUDY IS DECADES OLD. BUT EVEN SO, IF CALDERON IS GOING TO SITE A STUDY, IT HAS NO CREDIBILITY WITHOUT MAKING THE DETAILS OF THE STUDY AVAILABLE. ANYONE CAN SAY THIS STUDY SAYS THIS....AND THAT STUDY SAYS THAT.

Calderon thinks that he'll get amnesty here for his people (actually, his unwanteds that he feels he doesn't need to help), but us United States citizens know better.

myAmerica I didn't know that - but it doesn't surprise me.

They have more access to everything in this country than citizens do - especially our politicians, courts, etc.

In the 70's and 80's, illegal aliens did not answer the doors to census takers. LEGAL residents did. His figures are most likely due to Mexicans who migrated legally. Legal migrants are not the problem, little man.

Press Room

President Calderón during Meeting with Mexican Ambassadors and Consuls Abroad
Monday, January 7 | Speech

Mexico City, National Palace

“This Annual Meeting of Ambassadors and Consuls is a crucial forum that will enable us to reflect on Mexico’s current status and on the opportunities and challenges facing our country within the world context. As you know, public policy in general and the foreign policy promoted by my government is based on the search for Sustainable Human Development.”

I would urge you all, our representatives abroad, to continue your efforts to publicize the comparative advantages of our country, such as its geographic position, political and economic stability, institutional life, financial stability and demographic bonus.

Mexico is a crucial actor in helping to meet the main challenges of mankind.

Our country must also assume its role in the construction of greater global and regional understanding, particularly in Latin America.

As for North America, the region's competitiveness in relation to other economic blocs will only be increased through the growing integration of the economies of Mexico, the United States and Canada.

Realizing that the conditions facing our communities vary in different parts of the world, today I instruct you once again to double your efforts to protect our fellow countrymen wherever they are.

At the same time, we are strengthening links with the east, particularly with China, Japan, Korea and India. World economic trends suggest that this Asian region will be the zone with the most dynamic economic growth over the next few decades.

Congress passed reforms that will strengthen public finances, boost our competitiveness, permit the creation of jobs and improve the quality of the country's institutional life. Passage of these reforms showed that Mexico is obviously moving. We will continue to advance until we not only make our country a better option for productive investment and exports, technological development and tourism, but also a better country for Mexicans to lead decent lives.

On the basis of the advantages provided by the Strategic Partnership Agreements with the European Union, Israel, Latin America and Japan, I would urge you to work even harder to create export opportunities and enable our businessmen to make far better use of the preferential access quotas we have negotiated. Last year, in order to make the promotion of investment and trade more efficient, we created PROMÉXICO, and I would ask you to coordinate your efforts with this organization.
