We already have over 20% of their population leeching off us. Why do we need more? A good start would be for Mexico to start teaching English in their schools and issue health care vouchers so we do not have to support them.

With all due respect, Sr. Presidente, the U.S. has already sent HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS in aid to Mexico; we've already sent tens of thousands of jobs south by way of Maquiladoras, we've already accepted 20 million of YOUR citizens and provide them with education, healthcare, food, and in some cases incarceration - to the tune of over a hundred billion per year (which is one of the main reasons Arizona, California and Texas have experienced longer than needed economic hardships). What more do we have to do???? Seems to me, it's the country of MEXICO, and MEXICAN POLITICIANS AND PEOPLE that need to "step up to the plate".

Furthermore, Presidente Fox, nobody has a problem with the "talent, wisdom and excellence" of the people who come here legally; what we DO have a problem with are the dregs of your society - including the criminal element - who cannot and DO NOT WANT TO LEARN how to read and write. What we DO have a problem with are YOUR citizens protesting against OUR government, while giving YOUR government (that, mind you, turned their backs on them) a free pass.

"Border Issues pose Economic Problems for U.S."?
Humm?
January 2008= The start of the E-verify (Attrition) Law, and the I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs.
January 2008 Also started "The U.S. Great Recession", "The U.S. Foreclosure Crisis", and "The New U.S. Balloning National Deficit."
The Mass Exodus of Immigrants that began in mid 2007 in advance of the E-verify Law, and I.C.E. Deportation/Incarceration Programs left tens of thousands of dwellings vacant, and turned the booming Real Estate Market Upside down, it made home values Plummet, this triggered/caused the "Foreclosure Crisis", and completely halted Construction/Growth, the States that lost the most population found themselves Economically Crashed with large excesses of both State, and Federal Government, and matching Budget Shortfalls.
Fact: For every good, hard working Immigrant Deported, Incarcerated, or starved away America has lost over Four times as many American Jobs.
Fact: The Hard Labor Immigrants gladly did for America was the very Foundation of our Strong Economy, and the twenty-five year period prior to the January 2008 "Anti-Immigrant Rant" was the "Most Prosperous Period in Total U.S. History."
Ex President Fox is absolutely "Spot on!"
"America is great because it is good, when it ceases to be good, it ceases to be great."
Alex De Tocqueville a very wise 1840's French Historian
And He too was "Spot on!"
This is our I.C.E.'d Economy.
I.C.E. "Put the Car in the Ditch."
To: Good.

Mesico needs to start exporting its illegal occupiers to China.

How's that Mexican border fence working for ya, Vinny?
Are you still detaining and incarcerating people from South American countries for (GASP!) illegal immigration?
Have a tall, cool glass of shut-up and go home.

Arizona taxpayers pay for 53% of births in the state
Arizona taxpayers foot the bill for the delivery of more than half of all babies born here, a growing trend with a $200 million-plus annual price tag that has caught state leaders off guard. Please tell me that Illegal Mexican Occupiers aren’t part of this problem.
