We have to let them in because otherwise they’ll stay in Mexico? Is this for real?

Mexico: Central America Immigration Drops 70 Percent

MEXICO CITY — The number of Central American migrants crossing Mexico to reach the United States has dropped almost 70 percent over the last five years, the Mexican government said Tuesday.

Immigration Commissioner Salvador Beltran del Rio said the estimate is based on the decline in the number of Central Americans detained for being in Mexico without proper documents. He said there were 433,000 such detentions in 2005 and 140,000 last year.

The downward trend has continued in the first eight months of 2011, added Beltran, who initially revealed the numbers during a Monday conference on migrant issues. Mexico's government released his comments Tuesday.

Beltran said Central Americans crossing Mexico are facing increased risks of extortion, kidnapping and violence because organized crime has moved into migrant trafficking.

In one of the worst attacks, 72 migrants were slaughtered in the northern border state of Tamaulipas by a cell of the Zetas drug cartel in August 2010. Most were Central Americans.

The kidnapping of Central Migrants has been reported for years by migrant rights activists in Mexico.

Beltran said a survey found that most Central Americans who enter Mexico stay less than a month and that six of out every 10 migrants pay a smuggler to sneak across cross into the United States.

Rodolfo Casillas, a professor and Central American migration expert at the Latin American School of Social Sciences in Mexico, disagreed with the figures, arguing that the government is wrong about the flow of migrants.

"What's dropping is the number of people being detained by immigration agents, which is different from the Central American migration flow that goes through Mexico," Casillas said.

He said the number of detentions has been falling because former immigration commissioner Cecilia Romero stopped immigration agents from raiding cargo trains heading north, which is main mode of transportation for Central Americans.

During Romero's 2006-10 tenure, she also ordered that only immigration agents and federal police be allowed to detain migrants after complaints of human rights violations against local and state police officers and soldiers, Casillas said.

"What is worrisome is that the (current) commissioner ... is not being informed correctly by his analysts," Casillas said.

Mexican migration to the United States has also fallen sharply the last five years. Tough economic conditions in the United States and the costs and dangers of crossing the border have deterred migrants, experts say.

Mexico lost about 0.09 percent of its population of 112.7 million people to migration as reflected in quarterly surveys carried out between March 2010 and March 2011 by the National Statistics Institute and released in August.

That was 83 percent lower than the outflow of 0.53 percent of the population in 2006 and early 2007, near the end of Mexico's migration boom.

The most recent national census in 2010 said migration had fallen to about one-third of the peak of about 450,000 Mexicans leaving each year from 2000 through 2005.

Other demographic trends have influenced migration levels. Mexico's population growth has steadily slowed in recent decades, cooling to an increase of about 1.4 percent in 2010 from a peak of about 3.4 percent annually in the 1960s.

Hey Mexico, we don't need your floor sweepers and burger flippers,
nor do we want to assimilate 1/3 of your illiterate population!

[mosesdapoet]

THE QUESTION IS SENATORS HOW COULD YOU PASS A 1200 PAGE BILL YOU HAVEN’T READ... THAT HAS A FINE OF $5000 FOR ANY EMPLOYER WHO HIRES A CITIZEN OVER AN ILLEGAL ...WHY ARE YOU SO SET ON IMPORTING LOW WAGE LABORERS MAINLY FROM ONE COUNTRY WHICH TAKE UP JOBS OUR YOUTH AND ESPECIALLY BLACKS COULD BE PERFORMING ?

THAT LEGISLATION SHOULD BE BLUE SLIPPED BY THE HOUSE AND NO OTHER LEGISLATION OFFERED BECAUSE THE SENATE BILL CAN BE AMENDED TO REMOVE THE CONSTITUTIONAL OBJECTION

KNOWING THIS HOW CAN YOU HOUSE MEMBERS PASS ANY KIND OF LEGISLATION THAT MAY HAVE THAT AND AN UNSECURED BORDER COMMING OUT OF “CONFERENCE”....???

FR’s ; are urged to visit their respective Congressional Representatives and let them know their feelings

WHEN IT COMES TO AMNESTY

THIS IS THE MEXICAN PART NO ONE DARES MENTION

If you agree with the above and the following please don’t let it lay here in FR-land. Pass it on to to your favorite talk show host and to your US legislators. PUSH THE HASTERT RULE.

ONE NATIONALITY AMNESTY SKEWS QUOTAS. HURTS OTHERS FROM SOUTH AMERICA, AND SKILLED LABOR QUOTAS FROM OTHER NATIONS ...WORSE YET OFFERING AMNESTY FOR NATIONALS FROM A COUNTRY THAT HAS CLAIMS ON OUR NATIONAL TERRITORY THAT COULD AND HAS TURNED INTO PROBLEMS FOR BORDER STATES CLAIMED BY MEXICO .

In that May 3rd speech Obama gave before the Mexican Anthropological Museum in which he blamed America for the violence in Mexico I believe he went even futhur. There’s a inference but never referenced by name to the Gasden purchase and border settlements US made with Mexico where Obama hinted he seems to side with the Mexican claims. Would those in attendence share that view is a question that should be asked, because I believe they would,.he does.

SOLVING THE ‘LATINO” PROBLEM A MYTH HISPANIC IS NOT A RACE BUT A POLITICAL LINGUISTIC CONTRIVANCE ...don’t fall into the hyphenated Americans trap created by the hyphenated political party ...The DEMO-COMS

The Mexicans have been getting most favorable treatment above the rest of our neighbors both north and south. They’re permitted to cross our borders and enter illegally and are allowed access to rights of citizenship (with the exception of voting which if the democrat party regains control over the House will happen) other nationals entering this country don’t get.. Worse yet the Obama government has been working hand in glove with Mexican movements such as LaRaza supporting the Mexican claims which are also supporting “Amnesty”.

Also by allowing Mexicans to do this any quota ration for immigration from other south and central American countrys are taken up by Mexicans while that country is laying claim to a large chunk of our sovereign territory is a recipe for later serious problems which are happening now.

ARE MEXICAN ILLEGALS SQUATTERS PERPETUATING THE MEXICAN CLAIMS ?

We are already seeing the result of this in certain areas claimed by the Mexicans. Their national flag (standard) gets displayed over ours. Where there is a controlling number of Mexican nationals (illegals). It’s displayed over certain institutions particularly schools accompanied by riots and disturbances. Blacks are threatend by Mexicans in certain sections of citys in those areas. We’re courting trouble by not placing a value on our sovereignty and our citizenship.

MOST COINS OF THE REALM HAVE TWO FACES WHAT ABOUT HOW ARE AMERICAN CITIZENS LIVING IN MEXICO BEING TREATED ?

Worse yet if a US citizen goes into Mexico never mind illegaly but legally. They’ll get 2nd class treatment. Land ownership in title is prohibited period. And there are a slew of regulations they must comply with. Which doesn’t apply to a citizen of Mexico

THE SOLUTION ASSERT OUR SOVEREIGNTY AND TALK RECIPROCITY .

By not insisting on reciprocity particularly on those who have entered this country illegally we’re offering no incentive for assimilation and we’re not easing the burden for our fellow citizens who for what ever reason decided to live in Mexico.

ENOUGH OF THE ONE WORLD SOCIALISM ...BRING BACK SOVEREIGNTY AND SANITY TO OUR COUNTRY .....BRING BACK BELIEF IN GOD ...THIS GOVERNMENT OUT OUR FACE..... OUR RELIGIONS..... AND OUR BEDROOMS..

Mexico has been a failed state since its inception. Let’s throw some more money down that bottomless pit. /s

OMW! I had to double check to make sure this was not the Onion. The gall!

[Da Coyote]

Ask me if I give a smelly Obama about Mexico’s problems.

[imardmd1]

How about Mexico sealing her own borders to keep other Central Americans, and Muzzies from passing through?? (They’re not ashamed of accepting “rich” norteamericanos as permanent residents.)

[upcountryhorseman]

Mexican nationals are basically Mexico’s problem, not the American taxpayer’s problem

Did he claim that low skilled illegal immigrants impose a burden on the host country?

BIGOT!

Slow path to progress for U.S. immigrants: 43% on welfare after 20 years

The study, which covers all immigrants, legal and illegal, and their U.S.-born children younger than 18, found that immigrants tend to make economic progress by most measures the longer they live in the U.S. but lag well behind native-born Americans on factors such as poverty, health insurance coverage and homeownership.

The study, based on 2010 and 2011 census data, found that 43 percent of immigrants who have been in the U.S. at least 20 years were using welfare benefits, a rate that is nearly twice as high as native-born Americans and nearly 50 percent higher than recent immigrants.

Canada exports some of its trash to Michigan. If it didn’t the trash would become a burden to some Ontario cities.

Mexico has a huge surplus population that its economy, social services, criminal justice system, and infrastructure can't sustain. Consequently, the Mexican government has for decades regarded the United States as a dumping ground for all of its surplus, so to speak. Mexico can't afford them, so we have to foot the bill. I remember Vincente Fox being especially blatant and forthright about this.

So we get their criminal gang members, their perpetually pregnant teenage mothers, and a whole lot of unskilled, uneducated people at a time when the highest unemployment rate is among unskilled American workers. Mexico wins by not having to deal with them, and gets its economy propped up further by remittances. We get ...???

When Central Americas bust across our border they get a court hearing and are paroled out into the American population with a promise to come back for another court appearance>>>>>> which of course they never show up for

Mexicans who are caught are simply bussed back to Mexico. It is not as easy to deport (get rid of) Central American illegals because they have to be deported by airplane. So they are pretty much home free once they get across our border. A stinking disgrace. Central American illegal aliens are more Indian and less European than Mexican illegal aliens.....

A town near my is heavily Guatemalan and the residents look straight out of an Indian village in Guatemala. The women even had colorful dresses on
