Something that many an American seems to have overlooked is that New Mexico, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, California and parts of Idaho and Wyoming were formerly parts of Mexico. Those territories were annexed by the US ca. 1848. And so, as if subconsciously realizing that some territories north of the border was the home of their forebears, droves of Mexicanos take the liberty of returning/coming home to roost! neta.com To be sure, Bush will take rather kindly to them. You see, these Mexicanos will very likely help his brother Jeb in 2008 and also Neil at a later date. I understand that Mexican workers generally work for about one-quarter of current US wages. BTW, Chinese workers in China work for one-eighth of US wages! Aren't Americans ever so lucky to have such a cheap labour pool available to help lower inflation in the US, reduce costs of goods and, in general, help maintain the high standard of living of Americans! .

Peter, US taxpayers shouldn't be expected to carry the burden for millions of illegal Mexicans medical care and education. We have our own poverty stricken long-time citizens. The latter group don't deserve the injustice of competing with dirt-cheap labor. Greedy law-breaking employers are at fault. U.S. citizens cannot support all of Mexico, but that will be the effect, if this uncontrolled flood doesn't stop. The Fox encourages the illegal activity, while the physical safety of Americans living along the border is in jeopardy every day. Many who cross are unsavory characters. We have enough home-grown criminals, therefore we don't need to import them from MEX. The laws governing legal methods of entering the country must be followed. Employers prefer the illegal situation because they can pay lower salaries and avoid the expense of social security and other taxes. Those slave-wage employers are exactly the type of business people who have given Capitalism a nasty reputation.
