".. in Mexico, illegal immigrants receive terrible treatment from
corrupt Mexican authorities, say people involved in the system.
And Mexico has a law that is no different from Arizona's that empowers
local police to check the immigration documents of people suspected of
not being in the country legally.
"There (in the United States), they'll deport you," Hector V�zquez, an
illegal immigrant from Honduras, said as he rested in a makeshift camp
with other migrants under a highway bridge in Tultitl�n. "In Mexico
they'll probably let you go, but they'll beat you up and steal
everything you've got first."

I think the government should subsidize the ridiculously inefficient
use of ethanol from corn to raise the price of tortillas in Mexico.
That's an unfree trade agreement I can live with. It fucks both the

The GAO said that there were 3.5M in 1990 and about 12M in 2009. That's
a pretty sharp increase. Anyway, as stated before there is only one end
solution to this, and it's a matter of time: annexation.

Lots of stupid things have been significant political issues.
But immigration from Mexico skyrocketed in the aftermath of
NAFTA. Seems that the Mexican family farmer couldn't compete
with subsidized American agricultural giants.
Thanks, Bill.

Ah, dude, I don't want to learn the Mexican national anthem!

well part of that(and I think the 3.5 is a lowball number anyways) is
that a lot of illegals become legal just before that when reagan gave
them amnesty........
for example, if you run up 30k in credit card debt and 15k gets
forgiven, and then you quickly build it up again to 30k, it's not like
you didn't spend more money you didn't have......the clock just
partially reset....

Then how come the price of tortillas jumped 500% between
1993 and 2000?

"The grandchild, far from being incidental, is decisive. Civilization persists when
there is a widespread sense of an ethical obligation on the part of the present
generation for the well-being of the third generation - their own grandchildren. A
society where this feeling is not widespread may last as a civilization for some
time - indeed, for one or two generations it might thrive spectacularly. But
inevitably, a society acknowledging no transgenerational commitment to the future
will decay and decline from within."
(Lee Harris, "The Future of Tradition")
We are. Arizona's law IS the US law for all intents and purposes, and
it's WAY better than Mexico's.

I know that...Stevie doesn't seem to.
these charts all show a decisive uptick around 1970. Yes, the rise
becomes even more dramatic around 1990, but that's before NAFTA went
into effect:

the one great principle of the Law is to make business for itself.
viewed in this light, it becomes a coherent scheme, and not the
monstrous maze the laity are apt to think it. Let them but once

business for itself at their expense, and surely they will

So it's been fairly linear since about 1980, indicating a constant rate

I have to agree with you on that one (other than your usual
childish "democRAT" games). How can the Mexican president stand there
with a straight face calling it a "human rights violation" when in his
country they treat illegal aliens far worse?
The illegals coming up from Honduras and other poor parts of
Central America all say that crossing the border into the US is
relative cake, the hard part is trying to get through Mexico to get
there.
