Sorry, folks, I just can't help myself...........

More than 40 percent of Mexican adults say they would move to the U.S. if they could, and 1 in 5 say they would do so illegally if necessary....... More than half of Mexicans say they would be inclined to come if the U.S. established a temporary worker program.

I'll be glad to move to Mexico for a little while.. Bang around with some Mexican girls.. They can trade me spots for all I care.. I'm happy wherever I am and I can get along anywhere I am as long as I have some income, a gym, and access to some sauce, whether it be the states, Europe, or anywhere else in the world.. Maybe not in some places that I would get some hostility.. but thats not my choice.. I could still be there and not cause problems, but people would still look at me as an American.

America, where the streets are paved in basic living necessities.

Yeah, but, what does this have to say about Mexico when half of it's adult population wants to leave?

I'll bump this.

Poor US policies are the issue here. We are not a 'nation of immigrants', that is pure garbage.

what we all now already: poverty, lack of employment, low level of life, etc.

It's a natural desire of people to want to live a better life.

Then again, any indication of the sample where the poll was done, sure it was not the wealthy (or even the ones who make a decent living) who said they want to leave.

Bottom line is: If you are poor and you have nothing to lose, you will try and jump somewhere else, in this case the States simply because:

1. It's next door
2. They probably have family there already
3. "Everybody is doing it, I might as well jump into the illegal inmigration bandwagon, as bad as it gets there it's still better than here"


Bro, I agree, ILLEGAL INMIGRATION is a drain and a problem for the legal inmigrants that live in the Country... what I don't like is the vilification of a whole Country on the basis of what the lower scale folks do or want to do

Hmm... consider this:

If the "lower scale" wants to leave, it is probably due to all of the reasons you cited: poverty, lack of employment, low level of life, etc.

These things are not created in the abstract. They are the concrete result of poor governing, corruption, oppression, suppression of human rights etc.

If the poor want to leave, it is because the ruling class has made remaining untenable.

Maybe vilification is warranted? Despite its fair share of natural resources, Mexico is a shitpile.

And native born, naturalized and legal residents of America have the absolute right to use all the tools in their power to counteract this illegal invasion of the citizens below our souther border. It's national self interest. I certainly do not want to live in Tijuana and apparently neither do you.
