Mexico’s Latest Plight: “Too Many Mexicans!”
April 9th, 2008 by joe
As a result of the new “Legal Arizona Act” signed into law last year by that state’s Democratic governor - exactly the kind of law Virginia’s senators and Democratic governor could not deliver - the unthinkable is happening.
Mexico is being inundated with Mexicans:
The state legislator who sponsored the work bill, Representative Russell Pearce, says the law’s undeniably positive effects include smaller class sizes, shorter emergency room waits and an overall huge savings to taxpayers. The Republican congressman drafted the bill because studies revealed that illegal immigration cost Arizona taxpayers over $2 billion annually, not including the toll of crime and destruction.
It turns out that enough illegal immigrants have either fled the U.S. or been deported that officials in the Mexican state of Sonora, which shares an extensive border with Arizona, have complained that too many of their fellow countrymen have returned. They miss the remittances sent from the U.S. as well as smaller class sizes in local schools.
Mexican government officials knew Arizona’s tough employment verification law would become their worst nightmare, which explains why they tried blocking it. Earlier this year a delegation of nine legislators from Sonora toured Tucson and held a news conference to say that their beloved state cannot handle the demand for housing, jobs and schools resulting from illegal Mexican workers returning home.
What an amazingly corrupt country Mexico is.
It goes without saying that allowing Mexico’s plutocrats and criminal public officials to continue to avoid their structural problems by foisting the costs of their huge underclass on the American people is unfair to us, and not so great for the migrants either. Most damningly, it allows them to put off reform for another day.
Meanwhile, 185 years after achieving independence from Spain they still have not figured out the whole “rule of law” thing. Their state controlled oil company, which should be capitalizing on massive oil fields under the Gulf of Mexico, continues to flounder because, among other things, they have not taken the initiative to figure out how to do deep water drilling. They are sitting on natural resources which would be the envy of many countries in the world. Yet they continue to go backwards.
They need a revolution down there, is what they need. And maybe more like the French one than the American one.

Maybe they should build a fence to keep their own people from coming back?

The Wall Street Journal also covered the trials and tribulations of PEMEX recently.

Wasting away again in Siestaville! Why don’t they just go to Mexico City and get a job with all the highly-skilled OJT they got in the U.S. What? Don’t they have yards, trash and Mexican food lovers in Mexico? Or they could get a high paying job with the drug cartels.
Better idea. Let’s let the presidential losers from this years election migrate to Mexico and see if they can win the election down there with the same liberal/socialist crap they have been feeding us in the U.S.
*They can build a strong contingent by unifying the people. Heck, they’ve tried ever other way to get the Ex-spanic vote.
*They can soak the rich (current gov’t officials and drug kingpins) for money to give free health care.
*Give them a minimum wage.
*Promise to get their soldiers out of….the whore houses? Columbia? La Cinco-cinco club? Well, wherever their soldiers are,ok?
I think this idea would draw illegals back to where the bull is (it’s on their vehicles; you know-the silver bhrama) and give our losers a “second chance”. I think it is just as good a stupid idea as any liberals and until we try it, can we actually call it stupid?
Oil? If I remember that far back, that is pretty much what caused todays’ predicament. The oilfields IN TEXAS started becoming depressed industry and layoffs were everywhere. Can you guess what was booming? The housing market and builders were advertising in the south for labor in the northeast. It just migrated from there to most states. Why? Because no one saw a problem back then and tried to stop the flow before it got out of hand. And they weren’t even working their OWN oilfields. Good resourses, bad government, lazy-uncaring demeanor for most citizens. It won’t change because no one cares or we would have seen some change by now. I just hope we continue to burden their country by giving their CITIZENS back. “Where there is Mexico, there will be Mexicans”.
