Sure I do. Their countries actually have public schools contrary to the lies put out that there are no schools. School provides them a chance to improve themselves, to get ahead but they have to stay in school. Staying in school usually means they can't start having babies at age 13 or 14.

Contrary to the lies of the open borders proponents, Mexico has a growing middle class but to become part of the middle class requires a little personal responsibility. Stay in school, study, delay the start of a family and limit family size to what you can afford.

In fact Mexico's unemployment rate is significantly lower than that of the USA and interestingly enough a high unemployment rate isn't deterring illegal immigration. As long as our government programs make it easy to come here with a third grade or lower education and have many children, that's what they'll continue to do.

Good question - and even if the US taxpayers provide for irresponsible Americans, we certainly cannot continue being the welfare office for the entire world.

Let the people of Mexico establish their own social programs like food stamps and WIC if they find them so appealing. Then they can stay home and be paid to reproduce instead of having to come here.

The fact is that the USA has a very high cost of living - much higher than that of Mexico and Central America. Illegals cannot afford health insurance premiums or hospital costs in this country - even many Americans who can speak English have trouble with the high living costs.

Coming here with little education and no ability to speak English with our high health care costs and living costs makes it "necessary" to turn to WIC and food stamps when they choose to have more children than citizens can afford, more children than they could support back home where they knew the language and where the cost of living is very very low.
