Mexico has a population of 103 263 388 inhabitants according to the last census

Mexico is amongst the most populated countries in the world after:

China, India, United States of America, Indonesia, Brasil, Pakistán, Russia, Bangladesh, Nigeria and Japan.
  • The states with the highest number of Inhabitants are the State of Mexico (14 007 495), Federal District (8 720 916) and Veracruz (7 110 214).
  • The least populated are Baja California Sur (512 170), Colima (567 996) and Campeche (754 730).
If 40% of the population of Mexico were in the USA you'd be speaking of

413 053 355.2 citizens

Actually only 9% of the population immigrates illegally

Rational thinking people (those that believe in law and order). Do not waste your time talking to the irrationals. It's like beating your head against a wall or talking to the floor. Besides, the majority of this country do want law and order. Ignore the minority of whinners and spend your time and energy contacting your representatives in Washington to demand change.

Where are your facts to support this claim?

How much do you want to bet they don't have facts to back it up.

You are. By attempting to divide current popular opinion. Check that...

You are. By attempting to divide virtually unanimous opinion.

Quote:
The point is that it's not a game of who's more popular or who is on which 'side' of some imagined argument or game.

Why focus the majority of your attention on playing a game or arguing some position that you're on some higher road than another.

By and large, where you're directing your energy isn't where the decisions are made.

Rather than ignore the conditions which encourage illegal immigration,

...rather than play games consisting of nothing much more than bickering amongst those who aren't making any decisions about those conditions,

why not direct that attention on who is making policy?

You can posture and postulate, ....but to what end?

You won't change anything until the policy makers are held to account.

It's not your neighbor who is making policy and it's not your neighbor who is making a profit off of illegal immigration.

Prologic I know I posted it somewhere but I believe but a recent study showed half of all hispanics in Texas were here illegally. So that's an even higher percentage.

Well it's nice to wave the flag and be good 'mericans n' all, but it doesn't change anything and it's the exact distraction that the true pro-illegal group wants.. total distraction

And oh yeah that pro-illegal group is the business community who profits from illegals.


This is the source of the problem and the reason why the situation won't change.

You can't build a ridiculous fence large enough to stop companies from employing illegals, because building a wall doesn't have anything to do with what a company does.

But it makes simpled minded folk feel safer. Nobody wants to address to the true dark, ugly side to this.

And again business likes that America is all worked up against Mexicans, just don't bother the businesses.

Now let's all go to Wal Mart....

What does Wal-Mart have to do with any of it??? I was just told the other day by my friendly neighborhood anti-Wal-Mart commercial that most of their goods come from China so I shouldn't shop there because the Chinese are poisoning us. If you want to talk about businesses that benefit from illegal labor here in the US, lets talk about: Tyson, Perdue, Con-Agra, et. al. Wal-Mart just benefits from sweat shops in Asia.
