SEDENA calls for increase in its Air Force

The Mexican Ministry of National Defense (SEDENA) has requested the purchase of five Hercules H version aircraft. The Secretary of the Navy (Marines) also intends to acquire 6 cargo and transport aircraft plus 6 transport helicopters. The combined cost would be 9,888,000 pesos (US $821753.92). The requests are due to the increased criminal violence in the country, and a projected increase in military members to 12,918 this year and up to 19,252 in 2012.. The Hercules will be used for cargo, soldiers, paratroopers and medical evacuations, holding 70 patients and 2 medics.

Majority in U.S. and EU see immigrants as a problem

The Transatlantic Trends survey is sponsored by several institutions in the United States and Europe. Most Europeans and Americans believe that immigration is a problem rather than an advantage for their respective countries, according to a survey published Thursday by a group of foundations. The survey shows that citizens whose personal situation worsened due to the economic crisis in the past two years believe that immigrants are to blame for it. 65% of Britons believe that immigrants are a problem, followed by Spanish (53%) and Americans (52%), and then by French (42%), German and Dutch (39%). By contrast, only one in four Canadians (27%) holds this view, according to the survey, conducted in 2010 in eight countries. Also, a majority (73%) of Americans believe that the management of immigration by the government is wrong, a percentage similar to the UK or Spain. Despite the negative view of immigrants, Americans are divided on whether to legalize them. 47% is against it, 45% in favor.

In Europe, 50% of Germans are in favor of giving them a legal status, but most British, Italian and Spanish want illegal immigrants leave the country. A majority of Americans think that Hispanics (the largest minority) are well integrated in their society, contrary to what Europeans think of Muslims.

Majority in U.S. and EU see Immigrants as a Problem

Any person who dose not see illegal aliens "as a problem" has some type of mental illness, or either they are completely blind.

The reason Canadians don't see much of a problem is they have very strict immigration guidelines. Try getting into Canada as a legal immigrant. Its far far different then Europe and the US where they come and we give them full rights and social benefits fairly quickly.

I'd bet the US would be significantly lower as well however IF we didn't have illegal aliens. If the US only had legal immigrants I'd bet it would easily be under 40% that see immigration as a problem (yet would still be a problem none the less).
