For far too long Mexico has had the luxury of exporting their poverty, and I dare say foreign nationals from countries south of Mexico, into the United States.


Stop dumping subsidized Midwest-American corn on the Mexican market and driving their farmers off the land and maybe Mexico will have a little less poverty, no?

100,000 Europeans per year? Must be from Eastern Europe. Western Europeans would be nowhere near as desperate.


I'm not sure about what comes afterward but the 2 highest from Europe are the UK and Poland.

pandabear... I don't think you're as cuddly as you look... Even though i think you're right... But that was too "personal" and not general.

There are those that cannot work. I'm sure LindaBalla does contribute to society as best she can. So long as those who have physical reasons why they cannot maintain a conventional job make a concerted effort to contribute in other ways, the state (or private charity, as the situation may be in various places, and under various governmental systems) should help out.

Hrm..... I know the US wouldn't go for it.. but maybe here in Canada we could set up an exchange programme with Mexico.
*slaps self* bad me! I shouldn't think thoughts like that... I'll erase that before i hit submit.. hrm.. think my backspace key is broken... oh well.

For the record, I hope that election thief and thug, Felipe Calderon, gets his arse booted out and replaced by the PRD candidate in 2012.

The UK accounts for 1% of immigrants. The vast majority now come from Asia and elsewhere in the Americas. Also, the immigration rate is lower now than at other periods in the nation's history.

Still, 100,000 Europeans per year is just a spit in the ocean.
