#1 If they'd have followed the law, they'd be able to stay here. As it is, so long -- we won't miss ya!

#2 Well, I for one think repatriation is a good thing.

#3 Well, if your children are US citizens, put in for your green card. If accepted, we will welcome you back with open arms.

I also think they only miss the comforts of America, not the idea of it. They will learn to miss the freedoms as well in the coming Mexican unrest.

#4 Economic Freedom (really the freedom of association) is the creator of all wealth.

It's a pity America is slowly raising it's fines for being productive.

#5 How about exporting some US values to Messico? Couldn't hurt.

#6 Amazing Spot isn't it. Instead of making excuses for the illegals, how about the usual wankers spend more time pressuring other governments to adopt the model that attracts so many of their people here. Of course, same said wankers just bitch and moan about here never acknowledging that even in its imperfections that it is way and far ahead of most of the rest of the world, and willing, for those who do go through the legal process, to accept any color, race, or creed [even as suicidal as it seems some day].

#7 Gee, if they liked it here so much maybe they ought all go back and turn Mehicco into something more like the US. Then would not only they be happier but so would all the other Mehiccans.

#8 p2k, it will never happen....because that would imply that our culture is better than theirs, when we all know that the US is eeeeeeeeeevilll.

#9 P2k & Blondie-
When in trouble or in doubt, wank in circles, "eee-vil" shout.
(At least Blago is an honest crook. No hand-wringing there.)

#11 Without the safety valve perhaps Mexico will see some political reform and start their journey towards being a first world nation. A century late but better late than never.

#12 Sorry, but I doubt 10% will return. Even the criminal life here is easier than the peasant life there.

#13 The crime levels in Mexico are truly world-class, with US drug money and weapons mixing with the Mexican nation's dysfunction in a real devil's brew. It's just a matter of time before it spills over the border into the USA.

#14 I know this is... out of the box, but has anyone in government given consideration to a BIG PHUECHING FENCE OR WALL? Snark off!

#15 Yes they have. It's around most of their estates to keep the smelly ~~peasants~~ tourists out.

#17 Without the safety valve perhaps Mexico will see some political reform and start their journey towards being a first world nation. A century late but better late than never.

Or we could find ourselves with a completely collapsed / failed state on our border, where there is little in the way of natural barriers and across which the dysfunction and violence is already pouring.

#18 I'm surprised the Messikan government (sic) isn't demanding repatriations from US to cover the costs of ~~bribes~~ ..uh.. welfare and caregiving. Yeah, that's what I meant!

#20 Zavala worries about his children's education. "The schools there (in the United States), they take the children in a bus and give them food, books, everything," he said. "Here, you walk to school and you get nothing."

Okay, Jose. How about we consider it payback for all those taxes you never paid up here for your kids getting all that swell free gringo stuff?

#24 It's not just an economic safety valve. The most pro-active, energetic, risk-taking, unsatisfied folks make the trip north.
Stuffing that crowd back into Mexico and into poverty is going to be a problem for Mexico.

#25 Stuffing that crowd back into Mexico and into poverty is going to be a problem for Mexico.

Good. All the more reason to jam their asses back across the border faster. Build the damned wall, build it immediately, and put bullets in anyone who tries to go over, under or through it.
Screw Mex. They've tried to hurt us every way possible and been successful at most of them. We should long since have broken diplomatic relations and told them to enjoy their trade with Guatemala. The U.S. needs to start treating them and their invaders like the national enemy they are.

#27 But the collapse of the U.S. economy - particularly the housing industry, which relies heavily on migrant labor -

How about if some of our home building companies go south and get some drug lord to invest in the kind of massive housing tracts they build up here down there? Do you think the Mexican government is stupid enough to pass a Mexican equivalent of the Community Reinvestmant Act?

#28 Living here in Katrina-land I gained a lot of respect for our illegal Latino immigrants, and would happily keep them and swap a like number of our legal citizens to Mexico instead. Illegal Mexicans living in tents or six to a motel room, eating tortillas and canned beans while they gut nasty flooded houses for citizens who are fed and housed in unaffected cities at MY expense - the whole process bugs the heck out of me.

#30 Glenmore,

I completely sympathize. However, the worthless, feckless bastards that you're wishing to exchange are American citizens. The illegals aren't. There's the difference. The former are just parasites. The latter are knowingly breaking our laws as well as being parasites. Either that open flouting of the laws ends or the country does. It's that simple.
