What, other than Mexico would benefit from no borders more than either of the two?

Well, all three nations would benefit as a having a huge trade and political bloc. Just like the EU or how many African nations are in regional blocs. Collective bargaining. Regardless, Mexico benefiting doesn't mean bad horrible things will happen.

It would if the tax payers, (me) pick up the tab for the social services being used by the new immigrants that wouldn't have qualified to be here under the existing system. Since you don't live here I can see why that wouldn't concern (you).

Your point jumps to conclusions and doesn't make sense. Also, since I just moved here, I pay taxes...not to mention that I'm an expat planning to move back.

You mean national governments would benefit, who do you think gets stuck holding the bill for bringing portions of Mexico out of the 3rd world state it's in right now? US and Canadian taxpayers who fund what takes place which is exactly who funds Mexico's slum population now when they come into our country illegally.

Plus, the death grip the Mexican Govt has on it's wealth doesn't change. But the Pro-illegal side doesn't want to talk about that since the illegals have well, you know, just showed up here.

Perhaps you should leave it at: you have no clue. About anything.

How long has this wonderful EU of yours been in existance?

They have no track record to speak of, yet you want to enshrine them as the savior of the world economy. Or is it only socialism that you embrace, not independence?

There are countless articles on the problems going on in the EU, including illegal immigration.
