Why doesn't the U.S. Government put the cost we spend on each illegal immigrant back on the Mexican Government
Answer:
Why should Mexico worry about something that will never happen?
Why should Mexico reform any of its policies or change how it treats its citizens while the USA is picking up the slack?
Even Hollywood --Actress Susan Sarandon has urged the US to invest money into building schools in Mexico rather than erecting barriers on the boundary. Does she tell Mexico to build schools? No - it is the United States job to educate Mexican citizens.
Mexico is the world’s tenth largest economy, and is a pivotal contributor to prosperity and stability in the Western Hemisphere. The USAID Program: USAID plans to spend $33 million in programs in 2004, many of which reinforce President Fox’s reforms. Included in USAID’s work in Mexico are programs to prevent and control infectious diseases (such as tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS), form partnerships between U.S. and Mexican higher education institutions, improve management of natural resources, and broaden access to financial opportunities. In addition, USAID collaborates with the Mexican government to achieve higher standards on accountability and openness.

Smart! The problem is the Mexican government makes too much money off the illegal immigration issue. Mexican's send 24 billion dollars of our money back to Mexico, and that is the second biggest money maker they have after gulf oil. It's why the Mexican government is really behind this issue, they have too many people and not enough jobs. I doubt their government would pay your bill.
Yes they can have a Taco tax and charge all people
Mexico doesn't have any money to pay us with, do they? Maybe we can get paid in tamales.
Probably because we have strong ties with Mexico, and there is an "unspoken" agreement about the way the US will handle the immigration "problem" and Mexico's role is well defined..........
theyre already in debt up to their eyeballs... that would just make it worse and probably stampede more of them over the border ...
Ask those liberal pro illegals....
You can't get blood from a turnip! Oh, and we can't absorb Mexico...they are already absorbing us...look at TX, NM, AZ, and CA!
Less Mexicans = more job openings = more Americans get jobs = unemployment goes down = economy goes up
Some towns and cities are already sending bills to the foreign governments for medical care and education. I don't want to absorb Mexico. We don't need to bring any more corruption into the USA.
How about if we have our government intercept all those payments going to Mexico and other countries by the people who claim they are taking jobs American Citizens don't want? How about if we register every dime that goes out of the country, who sends it and if they haven't filed a tax return, we confiscate every dime?
Sorry to burst your racist bubble, but Mexicans are not the only illegal immigrants.
Because the Mexicans will not pay it. If we slammed the border shut and took those 20,000 troops scheduled for Iraq and posted them on the border, then i think that we might get Mexico City's attention.
Its interesting because Fox actually wrote a pamphlet about how to come to America ILLEGALLY while he was president of Mexico. Heck, even thier leaders are wanting better lives for them, even if it means risking their lives and never being legal :( Sad
How can you charge Mexico for each illegal immigrant when every illegal immigrant isn't from Mexico? You want Mexico to pay for Asians, and Europeans, and Canadians? Thats not fair.
What used to be our government is owned by the economic traitors who send our jobs to Mexico and make trade deals with the Mexican regime, which demands that the pre-owned U.S. (not for US at all) government and the head of INS go light on illegals. All immigration, whether legal or illegal, is based on anti-American trade deals. Don't listen to the phony Republican talk-show nannies and their outrage over immigration--that's just to make you think they care, when all they care about is what they get paid for their charade by the very people who make these trade deals. All their yakking and nothing effective gets done, because their goal is to keep real patriots from taking the law back into our own hands.
Our government does'nt care about those loses. They are loses to us, not to the government. Fancy dancy Nancy Pelosi, uses illegals in her businesses that make her a wealthy woman that can become Speaker of the House. She and her friends want those illegal for profit. She also wants them voting for her when the time comes. America will be skewed good by this lady. Watch it happen.
Don't worry about us putzing with Mexico. We need their cheap, hard working poor people to make our wealthy more wealthy and to ruin the middle class Americans. Few care about the middle or the poor.
Mexican illegals don't want to be here legally. They will have to obey the law along with the res of us. Pay taxes and behave.
The rich folks don't want em' legal either. When they come here illegal, they work cheap, don't complain ...and ruin the neighborhoods they live in for the rest of us. None of this will change anytime soon. Watch the foot dragging by our reps and governement on this issue.
Why bother? Isn't it easier to legalize immigration by restoring immigration law to the way it was before 1922? No need to build walls or any such nonsense...
Also, contrary to popular opinion, illegal immigration is not a cost, it is a benefit. The vast majority of illegal workers pay Social Security contributions and income taxes, but since many do it using phony Social Security numbers, they can't ever claim their retirement benefits...
As to putting heat "heat on the Mexican Government to do better by their people", you seem to forget that the majority of Mexican people are Native Americans (some of whom dispute Mexico's sovereignty over their lands), while the government represents mainly the "white" Mexicans. The U.S. government has a history of genocide against Native Americans in the U.S.; what makes you think they care about Native Americans in Mexico?
because mexico is poor and full of humans that should be eradicated
The U.S Government knows that they are getting benefited with the cheap labor of these illegals thats why they dont do anything.
That would be defeating the purpose of the Mexican government.I agree with you on the fighting for human rights of Mexicans.
I believe you are the first person that has used those 2 words on this site,'human rights'.
Mexico is in the top 10 richest countries inthe world. I have read about it in at least 3 articles.
NC,good points. Not many people like to say what you did.
We could try, but have you or as anyone ever heard of any country ever getting money from Mexico.
Mexicans will previal chica.
Because they are hired by Americans...
Because they don't want to.
