One of the biggest untruths out there.

Don't just throw an accusation out there, back it up if that's what you truly believe.

Mexicos unemployment rate is actually up. In 2008 it was under 3.9%

I think this is pretty interesting. I heard something on NPR last month about how the net flow across the border is nearly zero these days. Those coming and going are balanced for the time being. Which is an interesting statement about Mexico and the USA these days.

Come on, substantiate your accusation! I cannot wait to hear how the 1.4+ million illegal immigrant children under the age of 18 aren't in our public school systems receiving free educations. There is just one example. Your turn.

Next move should be to deny them jobs by arresting those who employ them, especially the big employers

I know its great when they can "help" the unemployed collect their benefits by providing them a means by coming over to America.... now I guess, some people might get the not so bright idea that the cure for unemployment is to ship them to other countries... and then the Obamaniacs will proclaim they lowered unemployment...

Unlike a liberal run America, Mexico does not allow any American to go to Mexico and take away jobs from their people.

Its like the Democratic claim that medical treatment for illegal immigrants wont get care under Obamacare. Why? Are we going to all of a sudden begin to turn them away at the hospitals? Of course not, they will continue to get treatment, and taxpayers will continue to pay for them as always.

Have you ever been to Mexico? I have several times, months on end. I find their work ethics beyond reproach because unlike america, they have an incentive to work. If they dont, they dont eat..
Well, there you go. Cut the entitlements in America because now the "they're coming here for jobs" argument goes away.
