Hey, who wouldn't want to ship the poverty out of their country and burden another country? I sure wish the US could do that, but then, a lot of those would be illegal aliens going back to where they came from, which we could do, but.................
With the country's current financial deficit, we don't need any more people from anywhere to carry on the taxpayers' backs!
Immigrants actually help booth the economy and the country's financial situation:
"They work at high rates and make up more than a third of the workforce in some industries. Their geographic mobility helps local economies respond to worker shortages, smoothing out bumps that could otherwise weaken the economy. Immigrant workers help support the aging native-born population, increasing the number of workers as compared to retirees and bolstering the Social Security and Medicare trust funds. And children born to immigrant families are upwardly mobile, promising future benefits not only to their families, but to the U.S. economy overall."
Whenever I think of the relationship between Mexico and the USA I see a steam boiler (Mexico) and a safety valve (USA). We take their desperate and their hungry to prevent an explosion. We could close down the border in one week with our military but the result could be a revolution and our leaders don't want a communist country next door.
Mexico turning communist for a decade before turning back to capitalism might be a way to flush out their corrupt leaders and help Mexico in the long run. Or not. We can only speculate on the outcome. I think all the misery right now will eventually make Venezuela a better place once the masses turn on / eliminate the Chavistas.

So now you like illegals via that cute little puff piece?
Last week you blamed trump for not knowing the status of every single contractor and subcontractor that ever set foot on one of his construction sites, including truck drivers and delivery people.

Looks like your reading comprehension has failed you. I said "immigrants". This is the legal immigration forum.
Trump and others should not be profiting off of undocumented workers. However, legal immigrants are legally allowed to work. You might want to become familiar with US laws on immigration if you're going to come to our country.
The Mexican economy receives a ton of money send back to Mexico by Mexican citizens living in the USA. So, of course, Mexico wants as many of her citizens as possible to go north.
If the country of Mexico is worried about refugees, the country of Mexico is more than welcome to open her heart and her arms and allow the refugees to settle in Mexico. Mexico is a lovely country, great weather, and no war going on at the present time. There is no reason for any refugee to go any further than Mexico to escape war.
Oh, what's that? Mexico doesn't want them and won't allow them to stay.
Exactly, the Honduran caravans are already forming to welcome the feeble minded in January, if they get into the White House. The chameleon has a long hateful history as she has displayed at public hearings. We really need Americans in the White House who respect American tax paying citizens. The rest of the country does not want to become just another California.
Our public schools have become so degraded that their students have no American pride and can't count or spell.

Fake news at its best. Immigrants require subsidies, the jobs they take don’t pay enough to survive, that is why Americans often don’t do them. Immigrants usually don’t speak any English, and have very little, or no schooling, which is very detrimental to a country that requires high functioning people, with formal education. Immigrants are entitled to interpreters we must pay for, free ESL classes. Immigrants have children, they often can’t provide for, that is why they typically need medical assistance, provided free medical care, many immigrants have pre existing health problems, that we must take care of. One hospital in AZ went bankrupt because patients had no insurance, and no money to pay. Immigrant children require schooling which is expensive for tax payers, particularly when the children don’t speak English. Immigrants dilute wages, keeping them low. Immigrants compete for housing, keeping rents high, immigrants often bring diseases. Immigrants contribute to pollution, adding more cars, cresting waste, adding to our over filled landfills. Immigrants make a disproportionate amount of welfare recipients, they require food stamps to feed their families, they require heating assistance, and need subsidized housing. Immigrants contribute considerably to the the high cost of real estate. Immigrants are a disproportionate amount of our prison population. The state of California is financially distressed because of a high immigrant population. Multi-cultured societies lead to more distrust. Foreign students are the main contributor to colleges becoming to expensive for American students, because so many people in other countries want to live here.
Big corporations don't want to pay living wages and so they encourage immigration so they can work people for low wages. If they paid living wages, those jobs would be filled domestically. And, of course, this also creates a human trafficking industry.
Mexico is phasing out imports of subsidized GMO corn from the US which caused the mass migration from southern Mexico by unfairly competing with small subsistence farms. US chemical firms and farm lobby are expected to fight it.
I'm sorry. I fail to understand something. Did this ever stop?
In the NE, cities are being supported by immigrants largely from south of the border. I wonder how empty it would be in the likes of NYC otherwise?
