No, thanks and just how would a huge new supply of low cost workers be of benefit to our already high unemployment rate for Americans?

Would you be happier if Russia created a no fly zone there, then supplied arms and flew sorties to bomb the forces that they want to lose....like the US does so frequently as of late?

The Saint Patrick’s Battalion – los San Patricios

The St. Patrick's Battalion - known in Spanish as el Batallón de los San Patricios - was a Mexican army unit comprised primarily of Irish Catholics who had defected from the invading US army during the Mexican-American War. The St. Patrick's Battalion was an elite artillery unit which inflicted great damage on the Americans during the battles of Buena Vista and Churubusco. The unit was led by Irish defector John Riley. After the Battle of Churubusco, most members of the battalion were killed or captured: most of those taken prisoner were hanged and the majority of the others were branded and whipped. After the war, the unit lasted for a short time before being disbanded.
Agreed tho things changed. Us "Irish" are now part of the "anglo white" world although Boston makes me wonder.

It'd better be soon since word is that Mexico's birthrate is about replacement level now. That right: Mexico's people are starting to grow old because of less and less kids being born in 2014.

Quite true.

NAFTA already did that for them.

That's not enough though --- the elite want their cheap servants. But also many illegals don't work, if they have a baby here shortly after arriving, they can't afford the day care even if they wanted to work but the welfare handouts make it possible to never work again.

An illegal woman I know has 4 US born kids, all with different fathers but none pay child support. She left one child, her first born back in Mexico and hasn't seen him for 16 years. She worked for about a year after arriving here and hasn't worked since.

The vast majority of Texans would never want that. I wish all liberals would leave the United States and move to Mexico.

Or to a liberal country of their choice where anything goes. On second thought what country would that be?
