Thread: Calderon urges consuls to use study to promote Amnesty

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:

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)

Yea, they're all there conspiring against the American people, probably with Bush's blessing. If Calderon didn't have Bush's blessing on what he is doing, Bush would be striking back, but he's not..he's in on it.

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,

Data collected from 38 (1970) and 28 (1980) years ago is certainly pertinent in 2008.

They are getting desperate.

Fences make good neighbors.

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!

So when is this debate?

Personally I think Calderon has a little man complex.

Wat I wanstoknow missaprechea is why this boob thinks he is relevant

In the great states man words of our Commander and Idiot would say about President Calderon interfering with the US and it's laws

Ugh, Ugh ... President Calderon is a good man... and his is doing what all good men do .... Ugh, Ugh

Quick, Next question

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.

Data drawn from the 1970 and the 1980 U.S. Census were analyzed.

What is MEXICO doing with US CENSUSES from 1970 and 1980 and who gave them the data. The LAST US CENSUS MADE PUBLIC WAS THE 1930 CENSUS!

Mexico has access to government information we don't.
