Immigration

[rickyb]

I spent three months in the interior of Mexico and about 5 years on the Mexican border. Mexico is a lot more developed than you think. And yes, according to the government, more than half of illegal immigrants crossing the southern border are now from Central America. Especially from Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador.

mexico life expectancy is 1 year less than america, but america is 4 years less than canada which means for profit healthcare, etc. so i mean yea thats pretty high.

NAFTA's big agriculture destroyed mexicos domestic farmers.

I've got an old Guinness Book Of Records from 1972. Under the category of immigration it says that in the US at that time 30% of the population of the US was illegal immigrants. We should have built that wall years ago.

According to the Five Civilized Tribes records, 99% of the U.S. population are illegal immigrants. And even those native people were immigrants.

Your argument is specious.

Have you travelled around Mexico and seen all of the American stores and restaurant chains that are there because of NAFTA?

Are you familiar with the word anecdotal?

I've been to Mexico, that doesn't have anything to do with macro economics.

A 30 second Google search could have prevented you from looking so clueless about the reality of NAFTA's effect on Mexico's labor market and immigration to the US.

And YOUR argument is lucid. NOT.

ok well thats understandable but thats no excuse not to do anything

sometimes you gotta blend in or dial it down...especially for US border patrol

It always comes down to the pesky border patrol for you. We are racist, homophobic, Nazi's here. Why do you persist in attempting to enter?

i dont. i persist in complaining to DHS and i will be complaining to the media.

i thought america bombed countries to spread democracy. and yet i cant even take political clothes across the border because of tinkerbell border patrol fashion police.

and actually it comes down to pesky border patrol for roughly half of americas population who drank the koolaid about immigrants controlling the govt and ruining the economy, not corporations.

Finally!

An expert with the CREDENTIALS to speak authoritatively!

HEY WORLD! DRIVEL HAS BEEN TO MEXICO, AND CAN GOOGLE.

Don't question his expertise! If you do, he will tag you as 'creative'!

And yet you keep reading his posts.
I’ve had him on Ignore mainly because I don’t think he is serious.
He’s just playing the devils advocate much like DIDO ... Who I also have on Ignore.

HEY WORLD! VANTEXAN HAS BEEN TO MEXICO.

I know right?
Pretty stupid for him to suggest that he knows about the macroeconomics of Mexico because he went on vacation.

DIDO ... Who I also have on Ignore.

The moderators put me on forced ignore on your account, because they felt sorry for you. You can't help but take the bait, over and over.

It's cute you pretend like you have a choice.

how about before all the BC member's ancestors immigrated?

I can't speak for everyone else but I bet the vast majority of them came through Ellis Island--------------legally.

yea but the immigration laws change over time so its not an equal comparison.

just because something is legal doesnt mean its right.

the conservatives on BC have no immigration ideology aside from the fact that it must be legal, not exactly suprising.

There is a big difference between illegal immigrants and conquering nations. We won the Indian wars, the Mexican War and a few others. Sucks to lose.

Actually they haven't, elected officials and Federal judges have just determined not to enforce, and produce new "judicial" tyranny.

You're just pissed because alcohol is so friggin expensive in Canada---and about the only thing you can own weapon wise are slingshots.

So you're saying it's better to conquer, steal, enslave, rape and pillage then it is to enter illegally and work to become a productive member of this nation?
