What is a "U.S. counterpart", and why don't I have one?
“According to statistics from Mexican and U.S. governments, around 500,000 people enter the United States illegally via its border with Mexico each year”
The way they talk they might as well build a bridge and fling the border wide open!
500,000 per year? Let’s see......estimating conservatively:
Now in 2007: 12 million
2010: 13.5 million
2015: 16 million
2020: 18.5 million
2025: 21 million
2030: 23.5 million
Estimating liberally:
Now in 2007: 20 million
2010: 22.5 million
2015: 25 million
2020: 27.5 million
2025: 30 million
2030: 32.5 million
That’s a ton of people! The border must be secured and sealed NOW!!!!!!!
OK with me so long as it involves mexican payment, mexican hospitals, and permanent loss of rights to re-cross that border.
Embedded data chips would be nice but I'm guessing that would be a non-starter.
The truth is stranger than fiction.
I don't like it already.
Mexico, U.S. To Discuss Health Plan For Migrants (Our Tax Payer Money At Work)!
I don’t have health insurance but have to pay for the ILLEGALS??????
it is time for me to go to mexico and sneak across the border!!!!
Integration proceeds apace.
That statement alone says it all.
Mexico has no plan to stop illegal immigration (of course, they are encouraging it). And the US government has been given fair warning that whether there is a "Comprehensive Immigration Bill" passed, or not, the illegal flow will continue...Until A FENCE IS BUILT!
This appears to actually have Mexico taking responsibility for the medical costs of people fleeing their dysfunctional country. I would think that would be a good thing, not something that people here would complain about. Mexico has been very reluctant to take any responsibility of any kind for them, and if this is true, it’s a significant step in the right direction.
Why is this news in China? Is this an invite and a suggestion for potential chinese immigrants who want to come here illegally?
Folks, if something isn't done soon to stem the tide we're all going to be doing the jobs that the illegals won't do. We are being invaded. Email, telephone, fax and send letters to your senators and congresscritters and let them know we don't want any more illegals and NO AMNESTY.
Here’s more on this:
Mexico is talking with U.S. officials about cross-border health care for migrants, who would receive basic treatment at U.S. facilities and be treated in Mexico if they required more intensive care.
Mexican Health Secretary Jose Angel Cordova said Monday that discussions with U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt are at an initial stage. The plan would depend on what kind of immigration reform, if any, emerges from debate in the U.S. Senate.
He said the aim was for migrants to have access to health care without regard to their immigration or work status.
“We started discussing this topic, which obviously depends in large measure on the evolution of immigration reform,” Cordova told reporters. “But at any rate it is a binational issue that interests us both.”
Cordova did not say who would pay for the migrant health care, or how much it would cost. He said he raised the issue with Leavitt in Geneva during a recent World Health Organization meeting.
Mexico is still struggling to provide health care and health insurance to Mexicans living here. Just over half of Mexico’s population lacks coverage under the country’s large, traditional, government-run health plans.
There are about 11 million Mexicans living in the U.S., both legally and illegally, and about 500,000 more people migrate every year, according to the Mexican government.
A United Nations report on migration released Monday said that lack of opportunities, more than poverty, is what is driving Mexicans to migrate to the United States.
A lack of educational opportunities and little hope for the future are prime factors that push people to migrate, but the extremely poor are least likely to go, because they lack the funds to pay for their journey north, according to the U.N. report.
“It is not the poorest (Mexicans) who are migrating to the United States but those who face equality gaps and see migration as their only option for human development,” said Thierry Lemaresquier, United Nations Development Program representative in Mexico.

BTT!
Impeach Bush now.
His arrogance and intransigence on this subject have exceeded all tolerance. The man is a public menace, not a National President.
In recess? Nobody told Congress they're in recess.
The health ministers of Mexico and the United States are planning to screw over the American taxpayers yet again, if we allow it.
Wonder if they will give us medical treatment when going south?/sc
We already give them medical treatment! Check out the local waiting room at a hospital in Los Angeles where the sign states just that, and most of the county services are taken by non-citizens. Citizens get in line!
