Border Enforcement Works

  • The number of illegal immigrants apprehended along the U.S.-Mexico border is falling steeply, an indication that the economic downturn and beefed-up security could be deterring unauthorized crossings.
  • Francisco Lopez, a 43-year-old illegal immigrant and the parent of two U.S.-born children, earned about $50,000 a year transporting construction material, but the work dried up and he now drives a taxi to make ends meet. "To live in America these days is to suffer," said Mr. Lopez, who lives in the Chicago area. "I'm not recommending to my friends back home that they come here. I'm thinking of leaving myself."
  • The U.S. border state leading the battle against illegal immigration with unprecedented tough laws has received complaints from Mexico’s government that too many Mexicans have been repatriated and the country is overwhelmed with demands for housing, jobs and schools.
  • It turns out that enough illegal immigrants have either fled the U.S. or been deported that officials in the Mexican state of Sonora, which shares an extensive border with Arizona, have complained that too many of their fellow countrymen have returned. They miss the remittances sent from the U.S. as well as smaller class sizes in local schools.
  • One baffled Mexican legislator, Leticia Amparano Gamez, asked in Spanish “how can they pass a law like this?” She went on to explain that Mexico is not prepared for the “tremendous problems” it will face as more and more Mexicans working in Arizona and sending money to their families return to hometowns in Sonora without jobs.
We guess they'll just have to deal with it.

we would probably not look down on these people if when they would come here "Legally" and respect the laws and people of the country they have entered and wish to immigrate to

Paco andd Chico were friends from Tijauana and bumped into each other early one morning near a highway in Phoenix. They were both there to beg for change and agreed to work different on-ramps and to meet later that day for a beer. When they got back together, Paco said he had a good day and got aobut $21.00. Chico said he had a real good day and had about $1,100.00.

"$1,100.00! How did you get so much man?" asked Paco.

"It's all in the sign I wave at the people." What does yours say?"

Paco says, "I have a wife and five children to feed. What does yours say?"

"I need only $10.00 more to get back to Mexico!"

Sure will miss getting cut off in the "fast lane" by some self important illegal or gang banger who is in a hurry to get no where but the next red light.

And lets not forget how they seem ever to look beyond their hood of their car only to run right up to the rear of an obstruction in front of them only to swerve into the next lane without looking

Racist cops in Chicago? No way. We should worry about the bad or the good. Not the brown or the white. That brown copper might be the one to save your ass at work one day. I hope u guys can put your differences aside and back me up if i needed it. You are sad if you don't.

What? Mexico is not prepared for the tremendous problems created by, get this TOO MANY MEXICANS returning to MEXICO!

Isn't that what has been said for years by US border states? It was all good while all those Spanish speaking money exchanges were sending mucho dinero $$$ back to Mexico, now Mexican authorities are crying foul, they can't handle all these damn Mexicans!

Too goddamn bad! Adios Jose, get your free tortillas somewhere else.

I wish we could pull a Fidel Castro ala Marial boat-lift move on Mexico, in the spirit of NAFTA and free trade of course, our prisons are over crowded so get all the fucking Mexican Nationals clogging our prison system and put them on the bus back down south of the border.

Do you think our amigos in Mexico will say muchas gracias for the busloads of scumbags we could send them? It sure would make some space in our prisons for good old American criminals.

The U.S. oil companies want all those Mexicans here, buying their $3.75 gas rather than Mexican government owned Pemex gas at $2.25. If they leave, maybe the price of gas and a lot of other thing would go down here.

I read recently the Mexican government has sealed their southern borders. This way
Central Americans, like Costa Ricans, Guatemalans, Himalayans and so forth would not be competing for crossing into the U.S.

O.K. I threw the Himalayans in there so see if you were awake.

Or how about when they double park, blocking traffic when there is ample parking space curbside? Or another good one, when they do park it at the curb, they dont go foward and turn the wheels towards the curb, they have to go past the open space then stop and reverse it in.
