MEXICO'S COMING COLLAPSE

I received an email recently from a 55-year-old, unemployed American who had been to 14 States looking for work. He couldn’t find any, he said, because “I am not a Mexican.�

Despite a desire to work, he could not compete with the cheap wages Mexican illegals will take. They do so because wages in Mexico continue to leave a vast portion of that nation’s population in poverty, forced to live on $3 to $4 dollars per person a day.

According to data from the CIA, 40% of the Mexican population lives below the poverty line. The current population is estimated to be 106,202,900 people and the labor force is estimated to be 34.73 million. Despite being rich in natural resources, the Mexican economy is highly dependent on the US economy. We buy 84% of all Mexican exports, compared to Canada that buys a mere 1.8%. “Per capita income is one-fourth that of the US; income distribution remains highly unequal.� That’s a diplomatic way of saying a handful of Mexican elites own most of everything.

There are a lot of reasons advanced to explain why the Bush administration will do nothing to stop the flow of illegals across our southern border, the vast bulk of whom are Mexicans, but the one I had not heard until I received the email was that Mexico would collapse without the money sent back by the Mexicans, legal and illegal, among us. When you look at the economic data, it is the one explanation that begins to make sense.

Ignoring the financial and social impact that millions of illegal Mexican workers are having on America may well be the US government’s way of avoiding a tsunami of even more Mexicans crossing over in the wake of an economic disaster, the collapse of the Mexican economy.

The most dramatic change that the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement has had is the way it has emptied out whole sections of Mexico as its former citizens head north. People don’t do this because they have a choice. Mexico is not creating new jobs. It is, instead, sending its people here to take over all kinds of jobs that unemployed Americans no longer can get.

The World Bank confirms the CIA data that nearly half of the Mexican population is just as poor today as they were in the 1960s. That’s not slow growth. That’s no growth.

According to Bloomberg.com, “Mexico’s economy grew at the slowest pace in a year in the first quarter as US demand for the nation’s autos, textiles, and appliances declined.�

Surpassing oil and tourism, the estimated $20 billion in US dollars that Mexicans sent home last year is the mainstay of Mexico’s economy. When your main export is your citizens, your nation is in big trouble.

Moreover, Mexico has found a new competitor when it comes to exports. China has surpassed our southern neighbor as the top supplier to the US of a vast array of assembled goods, as well as textiles, office computers, metal parts, and prefabricated construction parts.

Mexico’s problems have become America’s problems despite all the hoopla about NAFTA. The failure to stem illegal immigration and all the problems that go with it will become a major political issue in the 2006 elections and beyond. It simply cannot be ignored, though the Bush administration is doing its best to do just that.

My correspondent is probably just one of thousands of able-bodied Americans who cannot get work because illegal Mexicans will take any job available, but even worse news for Americans is the growing trend that is out-sourcing of many white-collar jobs. Though it is hard to determine due to reporting procedures, there is no debate regarding the loss of hundreds of thousands of jobs that will leave many Americans unemployed in the years directly ahead as their jobs migrate to India, China and other nations.

So while the potential of economic collapse of Mexico looms to the south of us, internally jobs are disappearing into cybersphere as workers in developing nations, receiving far less than American workers, are the beneficiaries of the way technology speeds aspects of globalization. Here again, the US government is taking no steps to address this looming crisis. If the US economy begins to falter, Mexico’s will tank.

Is anyone paying any attention to this? Well, I am and so is my out-of-work correspondent. Maybe you should, too?

If 1 child in 4 in the United States lives beneath the poverty line, what would the poverty rate be for the United States per capita?

I need to find out.

Research under way. I'll be back.

http://www.usccb.org/cchd/povertyusa/Hi ... Census.pdf

Check this out: Tells you annual wages for Hispanics. You'll be surprised at their "slave wages". "Poor immigrant"....what a bunch of bunk!!! Send these people home and put our Americans back to work!!

Foxie is sure doing a great job down there--along with his buddy Derbez.

US Census 2003 - Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage

2003 - Poverty Rates:

All - 17.67%

White - 14.3%

White (nonhispanic) - 9.8%

Black Alone/Comb - 33.6%

Black - 34.1%

Asian Alone/Comb - 12.7%

Asian Alone - 12.5%

Hispanic (any race) - 29.7%

____________________________

This is amazing that our government who must know these figures would encourage migration from any place, let alone Hispanic countries when we have 34.1% poverty amongst our Black American Community.

It is doubling amazing that two Black Leaders would fly down to Mexico City to meet with that Racist Turd Vincente Fox who has 40% poverty in his country, no skills in economic development, no national leadership of any kind, and form "coalitions" with this individual on the belief that this Man wants to help them and the Black Community.

This man has flooded our job market with Hispanics 29.7% of which live below the poverty line qualifying them for benefits and services which American tax payers fund.

The poverty rate of our Black Americans is 34% higher than the Hispanics and only slightly below Mexico's Third World Toilet.

It's time to LOOK out for our own Folks. I knew the poverty rate for Blacks was high, but I had no idea it was this high. This is UNACCEPTABLE!!

These aliens are going home. PERIOD.

They are 33 Smart Governors Down There who think they know how to run a country, they have 11 Billionaires who know how to make money, and they have a Harvard Graduate for a President. They have the people, they have the education, they have the money (from the Billionaires) to fix their problems in whatever manner they like, but with no more help from the USA except normal trade dollars.

NO MORE $15 Billion in Aid

NO MORE $16 Billion in Send Home Money from Illegal Workers Here

NO MORE crossing the borders without permission, invitation or a Passport.

We've Got Work to Do Folks.

We're Gonna Start by Taking the Phonies, Jackson and Sharpton, DOWN!!

Did I miss it? Did either one of these Phonies use their TV time to inform the American People about the poverty being endured by Black Americans? All I heard them say was they wanted to work with President Fox on immigration issues. There is no immigration issue if you know these numbers. Until the poverty rates of Black Americans are comparable to the National Average, there is no room in our Society for foreign nationals from ANYWHERE!!

Close the borders....MORATORIUM ON IMMIGRATION NOW!!

And if anyone thinks a 17.67% overall poverty rate in the US is acceptable, then we need to TALK!!

This is almost 1 in 5 and we already know 1 in 4 children live below the poverty line. NO WONDER the National Debt is over the top and all the states are in Shortfalls!!

UNBELIEVABLE!! TOTALY UNACCEPTABLE!!

Where do these people come from, where do they wear their souls, and how in the world did they end up SPOKESMEN for the Black Community in the United States!! NO WONDER the poverty rate is 34% for Black Americans! They were SOLD OUT 40 years ago by these GUYS!

BTW--Does anyone think that the decision to speak Spanish should qualify you are a Minority in the United States?

Post your opinions, please! That 1974 Law that made Spanish Speaking people Minorities and eligible for special treatment in the United States needs to be REPEALED!! They are here by choice and speak Spanish by choice....costly Americans alot of money in double printing langauge documents all over the country! This is America and the national language is English. Period.

Wow, Judy! You said it all.

This string probably encapsulates the issue as well as any.

We export goods and services, Mexico exports its people.

The political doubletalk around this issue confuses a lot of people and causes people who would otherwise make sound judgements, to err on the side of "tolerance" of illegals.

Let's keep walking the walk. Sooner or later this battleship is gonna turn in the right direction. But I don't think we will ever be able to declare victory in this war. As long as Mexico is an economic basket case (as it has been from like forever) there will be pressure for this country to take in its offscourings.

Let's take it to 'em.

If we want to send a CLEAR & CONCISE MESSAGE to Mexico & the traitorous US Reps & Pres....

BOYCOTT ALL THINGS MEXICAN!

Despite being rich in natural resources, the Mexican economy is highly dependent on the US economy. We buy 84% of all Mexican exports

This act alone would frighten them ALL and back them against the wall!

Let's do it!

Spread the Word!

1. A BOYCOTT of this nature would be most successful if well coordinated with all groups such as ours collected in solidarity.

2. REMEMBER! Most of those so-called MEXICAN IMPORTS that are purchased by Americans are manufactured/grown/produced by AMERICAN GOLIATH GLOBALIST COMPANIES

BOYCOTT ALL THINGS MEXICAN....I'M IN!!
