Mexico is a wealthy country, but the wealth is held by an elite few. Corruption is a way of life. And nothing will change as long as the Catholic Church holds power there. But let's clean our own house first: for a start, the Catholic Church should have its tax-exempt status withdrawn in this country, for its in-your-face political activity in support of illegal immigration and the violation of this nation's laws.

So this immigration debate stems from brown Catholics invading WASP America? This issue is not just veiled racism but veiled anti-Catholicism!

so far the states have prevented the federal government from intruding on states rights to monitor the safety of cargo traffic on public highways. cargo will continue but not mexican trucks or drivers. i am confident this will not change. as to mexico, they are skilled at taking care of mexican trade. they have a long history of inviting foreign investment and then changing the rules or government and expelling the foreigners but keeping the capitol investments. if i was to worry
i would worry about massive american condo inventment in Baja. if i had one i would sell it pdq.
the big come on is now american title companies are holding the papers on them, this is a false sense of security. its a land grab waitin to happen.
great line from max max "get out while you can".

Overpopulation????? Please! If they wouldnt start having kids at 15 and then have 10 of them there wouldnt be such a thing as overpopulation. Common sense should tell them that if they cant afford to keep feeding themselves and their kids than quit having them.

Actually; the Catholic Church is in some deep trouble concerning the pedophile priest scandals as it is........that alone may cause it to have its tax exempt status revoked-------along with many other churches with similar (or possibly worse) problems.

Besides: illegal immigration is just that; illegal--------not all of 'em are 'brown'.

Anymore; like the boy who cried wolf, fewer and fewer people (of any color) take the 'race card' seriously------it has backfired.

This is very true, there is a large elite of wealthy people in Mexico. The root of the problem is so many Mexicans are very uneducated, the average education in Mexico is like third grade. This is a problem because it causes more illegal immigration for the United States.

Considering that white people say that racism has been annihilated when evidence shows the contrary.

The education system myth is very widespread. It might be a cultural difference (and a language barrier) to understand the education system. They may have less years of education but those years are better quality.

According to the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) Factbook for Mexico the birthrate is 2.39 children per woman, while the USA (excluding illegal aliens) was 2.09.
