Whens the last time you were in Mexico? The last time I went the peso wasn't 120-1 like it used to be. A typical sit down meal was still $5-6 a head and that was nearly ten years ago. Now I'd bet it's a tad cheaper than here, but not .10 fish taco cheap like it was in the eighties.
Just checked: 11.6-1 so a 10 peso fish taco is about .90, El Poyo 1.29
According to a wiki editor: In Tiajuana You will find a wide variety of sea food and fish tacos at an excellent price. Expect to pay around $2 US for fish tacos to $10 US for a dish.
So, I guess it has gone up since the last time I was there. Inflation and a weak dollar has changed everything. You could live like Obama for about an hour on $150 in Mexico.
That's what we are doing. And a million or so have returned on their own after the home construction boom died down. We have deported more people in recent years than ever before. Annual deportations are up 25% since 2007. I believe the number was close to half a million last year.
How about a concerted effort to stop it 100%.
How about deporting 100% of those who have over stayed their visa's?
How about sending back 100% of those who have come in illegally through our borders?
Of course it is a good thing. We are deporting more and more every year. Bush improved his numbers pretty much every year, and Obama has improved every year. I guess it depends on your POV. If you are pro-immigration, then you will not see it as a good thing.
You are talking on a public forum, you are talking to everyone.. If you want to have a private conversation with another poster, im them..
I understand the point quite well, you avoiding the fact that the other poster was discussing LEGAL immigrants, and those that overstay their visa is NOT here legally..
I said it is fine for you to cut in and insert your opinon, but you would not look so clueless if you understood the point of the conversation before opening your mouth.
PS You said slappy faces being no points, yet you include them in every post you make.
Prevention is a better alternative that we should focus our efforts on.
Deportation is reactive, not proactive.
Cut off their benefits..they are not citizens. Sounds harsh but we're coddling to them today and that doesn't give them any reason to leave because they'd never get back home what they get here in benefits.
Obama sounds like he wants to build a bridge from here to Mexico.
