U.S. isn't Mexico's unemployment agency

Well, the president made his speech on the immigration issue Monday and the opinions on it are as mixed as they've ever been. Bush stated he was sending 6,000 National Guard troops to the 2,000-mile border, but only to provide intelligence and surveillance support to US Border Patrol agents. The troops will not catch nor detain illegal immigrants.
Nevertheless, the announcement has the usual suspects all in a tizzy -- such as Mexico, which warned earlier this week that it would file lawsuits in the United States if guardsmen become directly involved in detaining illicit border crossers.

Such arrogance. Suing us for enforcing our own laws. That's like a burglar complaining about someone installing a home security system.

When will Mexico come to the realization that our country is not their unemployment agency?

Statistics recently aired on Fox News may have some scratching their heads as well. Mexico is listed as the 12th wealthiest nation in the world, with more billionaires than Switzerland living south of our border. The country is rich in natural resources yet Mexico ranks alongside African nations when it comes to poverty.

Unfortunately, many expect this country to be the foster parent for the rest of the hemisphere and for every other nation on the planet deemed poor and downtrodden.

There's also a classic vicious cycle going on between our two countries. Mexico's economy and its corrupt government are being propped up artificially by the billions of dollars sent back by the illegals who work here. But every Mexican citizen of a productive work age and ability that isn't in Mexico impoverishes their home country by their absence.

Essential work that needs to be done there doesn't get done and as more and more of their citizens head north, Mexico drops deeper into decay and inefficiency, which of course, then results in more folks sneaking in.

Which may explain the disturbing numbers released by the Heritage Foundation about the current bill in the Senate called The Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act (CIRA, S-2611).

According to the report, the bill would quintuple the rate of legal immigration into the country that would increase the inflow of legal immigrants over the years from around one million per year to over five million per year.

In all, the bill would allow for up to 193 million new legal immigrants, a figure larger than 60 percent of the current U.S. population, during the next 20 years. Robert Rector, the author of the report, estimates that it is most likely that about 103 million new immigrants actually would arrive in the next 20 years.

Will the last person leaving Mexico please turn out the lights?

Maybe all of us Americans should move south of the border and take over Mexico. Since all these Mexicans are moving here because they just HAVE to live through a twister alley spring and summer and a upstate New York winter maybe we should just let em take over the country and we can all move South of the Border and start a new nation that is like the one we USED to live in. Heck, great weather, fabulous beaches, and oil! If the remaining Mexicans don't like it then they can move north and we can just toss out the corrupt government.
Ok, so that is NOT the solution. But the idea of just GIVING away our country to these illegals who have no right to be here is infuriating.
And we MUST get rid of these voting machines and bring back a legitimate ballot. Otherwise those who are traitors to our country will consider to ride roughshod over the people of this nation.

libbee,

Reverse psychology! Got to love it.
