Immigration: Something I have been wondering...

[oregonblitzkrieg]

I have often wondered how so many Mexicans coming to our country affects Mexico. Does anyone know? It would seem like you wouldn't want your labor force migrating to another country by the tens of thousands, but I lived in Texas for years and never saw any Mexican border patrol trying to do anything about them leaving. Does Mexico want them to leave? If so (or not), how will this affect them in the long term. I assume Mexico has a very high birth rate, so perhaps they have all the unskilled labor they need. I thought someone linked something showing Mexico has a surprisingly good economy (or at least better than I expected).

Anyway, I just wonder what Mexico thinks about millions of their people leaving. Thoughts? Facts? Bueller?

It's probably a great boon for them. These Mexicans send most of their money back to Mexico to support their families. As usual, Mexico wins and we're their willing pinata.

Is it cool if people send money home to their relatives in Ukraine? What about Cambodia? Are people allowed to give money away to others as they see fit? Or is that not cool?

We get plenty of piñata over there, by the way. Believe it or not, it is actually possible for an American to invest their money in a business in Mexico, and vice versa.

You're denser than a fucking Redwood tree.

There's that GOP war on the environment again.

I did read that Mexico is getting pissed about Central Americans crossing into their southern border. Kind of funny. They encourage it when it is us taking their people, but get pissy when someone does it to them. Faggots.

It's nuts. They (and pretty much every other country) are strict as hell about immigration, yet they all expect us to be different. They take us as fools...and you can't blame them considering our current policies.

As for the rest...short term it's a boom for the countries as they get dollars sent back. Long-term (and what country thinks that way) it's got to screw up their system as you take a portion of they working age population that are willing to work hard and take risks and remove them from the local economy. Of course now we aren't taking the guys that want to work hard...we are taking the kids and drug dealers
