Not necessarily so... The part of the idea of opening BOTH sides is to create opportunity IN MEXICO. There are many places in Mexico that are in need of the things that American ingenuity, equipment, and technology could improve --hopefully without the idiotic controls of planning commissions, coastal commissions, wet lands entrenched bureaucrats that force 18 to 24 months of permit process. I am not sure that it is even possible of thinking that dealing with a Mexican bureaucracy is better than its US counterpart... but the point is I belive we are reaching that level. Together with the fact that once again, we need to do something serious... and negotiating with the Mexican government to obtain an equal footing in both sides will create opportunity more than a mere burden to the US... The US ought to consider that as part of this new immigration policy. I repeat... there are MILLIONS of Mexicans that given the job opportunity (even if it is LESS money) they would rather work in Mexico before considering the leap north. Open border or not. They just need the opportunity... Resort creation along the Mexican coast could relieve the major cities of overpopulation and the creation of a better environment. IN MEXICO. Just opening the border alone will not do this. It needs to be equitable, and well designed with participation of both sides.
