How Mexico can handle returning illegals

As we all know by now, punishing employers for hiring illegal immigrants "just doesn't work." To put it in terms Democrats can understand, it's like lying about sex: "Everybody (at least in your party) does it!"
Fortunately, even though everybody told the citizens of Arizona their employer sanctions law wouldn't work, it was only "poor, old nobody" who believed them. The rest of the people of the good state of Arizona went ahead and passed their employer sanctions law, anyway.

Well, as Gomer Pyle liked to say, "Surprise, surprise!" The law's only been in effect for 15 days, and already legislators from Sonora, Mexico, are traveling to Phoenix to do the welfare two-step with their Arizona counterparts. At a news conference preceding their departure, they said, "Sonora cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools it will face as illegal Mexican workers in Arizona return to their hometowns without jobs or money."

Not to put too fine a point on it, but "boo, hoo, hoo!" Free schools, free colleges, free hospitals and fat unemployment checks, it would appear, are only a good idea when the stupid gringos pay for it.

"What do we do with the repatriated?" asked another Mexican lawmaker.

Well, here's an idea for the "lawmakers" in Mexico: The price of oil has more than tripled since you've flooded American border states with "your tired, your poor and your unemployed." The remittance train is turning around and going back home. Now go and talk to the "federales" in Mexico City about sending some of that oil revenue flooding their re-election slush funds your way. Then figure out how to pump it into your local economy.

For a start, since you will find a lot of the returning citizens of your state have learned construction skills, you might consider paying them to build houses. (You did go through Mexico City and tap into that oil slush fund on the way home, didn't you?)

Then, you might think about setting up schools and hiring teachers to train your workforce. That way, you'd stand a chance of actually recruiting an employer who'd like to build and sell a product or service.

Of course, you may need to use some of the oil slush fund money to build clinics and hire doctors and nurses to deliver that "free" health care the American press loves to write about, and Mexico is so proud of.

Once you do all this, you can talk to an employer about locating a plant in your area. That means the employer will have to build a plant (construction workers required) and will have to pay people to work there and make things. And those people will have to pay others to make or do things for them (because they are busy working). That's called an economy.

Finally, when all that happens, you get to the really good part (at least from government's perspective): You get to tax everybody!

When you get to that point, let us know. We can even talk about sending the remittance train back your way, one more time.

I don't care.

"The liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is fascism - ownership of government by an individual, by a group, or any controlling private power."
Franklin D. Roosevelt

What happened to the YES WE CAN mentality?

Mexico cares more about the money sent home to Mexico than it does for their citizens. Why don't the wealthy Mexicans like Carlos Slim open job training centers, and build industries to employ them.

Mexico will never change until they stop depending on US taxpayers to provide for their needs.

Americans can not afford to house, feed, educate, or employ millions of Mexican citizens.
