Why can’t these people just use their real identification? - Mexican drivers licenses are perfectly legal in the US
But it is the elite who most often own vehicles within their own country--88% of Mexican elites own one or more cars. The priviledge of having a driver's license is just taken for granted in the U.S.
Was reading this blog contributed to by Mexicans and one says their status or class determines if they can easily come to America and work :
"All the mexicans that go to the States (which most of the are illegal) want to go there in order to win money and enjoy a higher standard of living than they would here in mexico (this only applies towards people from lower classes). For higher classes going to the states to work is a sign of supperiority (this because USA doesn't offer Green Cards to any mexicans, except for the ones that seem to be "worth"). All of them go there because of that. Not because they enjoy being "bullied" around by racist americans."
I do think if we just put a wall up around poverty, we will create a Gaza strip for the next generation to deal with, which could be far more dangerous. Presently few elite families run commerce in Mexico and forty percent of the population is said to live below the (Mexico) poverty line."
John Wahala, a researcher at the Center for Immigration Studies in Washington says, "According to the Inter-Development Bank, remittances sent home by Mexican immigrants amounted to more than $20 billion in 2005--a major source of revenue for the Mexican government."
With 107 million people in Mexico, think of the US as the steam release valve on a pressure cooker for 40% of the population..
This immigration problem which of course encompasses drivers licenses is just not going to be fixed anytime soon. We deal with it in the way that we are forced to live with it...so we must remain vigil.
