I dunno, is the cost of living in either country in their respective currencies identical too?Hardly. Hence the desire to make American wages so as to live well in Mexico.
And is it really necessary to be obnoxious ALL the time?
I didn't think it was necessary to take mild disagreement personally.
Maybe you're right, our exploding entitlement programs have little to do with illegals coming across the border (with their families, a relatively new phenomena). Perhaps they really are coming here primarily for the low skill low wage jobs that are harder & harder to come by.
And maybe that really wasn't an attempt at sarcasm in your original response.
