They need not worry- the Kennedy-McCain bill allows them and their kids to legally enter the US.

Your men? Half of 'em meet up with some chiquita down here and start family numero dos.

This simply cannot be true. The people crossing our border illegally have the best family values of any group of people on earth. I know this because I keep reading it.

You wish is our command! Only if a bat to the side of the head of Congress would work....

But we'll never know the stats
on how many of these 'fathers'
will want to go back to dirt
farming on their own in Mexico.
They have no worries about drought,
bad crops, insects, or keeping
a roof over their heads. The
owners of the Arizona lettuce
farm, the Colorado cherry
orchard, or the California fruit
farm has those worries. Juan
just cashes his weekly check and
hits the bar or whatever other
entertainment he seeks until
Monday sunrise. Life in the
States is fine.

Whoa, is this a stretch.

The real Mexican women of Tecalpulco want their migrant men to come back home and take care of the babies they left behind.

Another unintended consequence of untrammeled immigration.

YEP....EXACTLY what YOU said....they have TWO families...one in Mexico, and one in the US.

We have work now and the men can help us to sand-down and polish the jewelry.

So now we know we know the real reason for the border jumping.

[sandbar]

I know ALOT of men who have wives and children in Mexico and "wives" and children in America too.

See even in a poorer country like Mexico they have to wear school uniforms. If they can afford it in Mexico they can afford it here. No excuse that it's too expensive. Plus many families will save money, since they won't need to buy Nike shoes.

[calljack]

Maybe american blacks will go there to do the work that even Mexican men won't do. Oops...

"This is as plain as it gets. Among the so-called migrant hordes of banditos are deadbeat dad, carelessly leaving behind their wives and children to fend for themselves. So, where's the voice of international protest here?"

So, where's the voice of Cardinal Mahoney?

"Casa Blanca is no longer an itty bitty place on the brink of poverty," Olvera said. "It has the privilege of knowing the United States, but it doesn't even know its own country."

High birth rates and skepticism about education hold the area back, he said.

Instead of refashioning themselves to excel in changing times, Casa Blancans abandon their homes for comparative financial success in Tulsa.
