WASHINGTON — Mexican President Felipe Calderon took his opposition to a new Arizona immigration law to Congress Thursday, saying it “ignores a reality that cannot be erased by decree.â€

"Ariz. illegal immigration 'cannot be erased by decree' "

Correct.

That's why we need the U.S. Marines and/or Army on the border.

(Mexico has it's army in the cities of Mexico to defend it's people

and we need our troops to defend our people.)

The biggest cause of migration from Mexico is the failure here by Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants to invest in productive assets in Mexico. The use of remittances to pay for consumption, new houses and more migration they have mastered but income enhancement and job creation they have left neglected.

[quote]The Mexican leader said his country was doing its best, by promoting more jobs and opportunities at home, to reduce the flow of immigrants to the United States.

But he stressed the “need to fix a broken and inefficient system ... the time has come to reduce the causes of migration and to turn this into a legal, orderly and secure flow of workers and visitors.â€
