Mexico’s economic growth rate is around 6% per year.
If they can get the violence from the cartels under control, they may have a problem with American illegals in a few years.
It seems to me that Mexico is encouraging its lowest strata of society to go to the USA.
I pretty much discount anybody taking credit for it, instead, we should consider who to blame for it.
To start with, former Coca-Cola executive and Mexican President Vincente Fox. He, along with US President W. Bush and others in their cabal, formulated the Plan Puebla Panama, now known as “The Mesoamerica Project”.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesoamerica_Project
All the vile multinational corporations and internationalist politicians thought this was a great idea, to make the Americas much like a “super-European Union”. That’s right, they actually wanted (and still do) that.
And true to form with such schemes, everything that could go wrong with it, did. That is, except the parts that hurt people.
The basic concept was to turn southern Mexico into the hemispheric trade nexus, of air, sea and land commerce, both highways and railroads.
But to do this, Mexico first had to kick all the Indians out of southern Mexico. So Vincente Fox basically said to them: go North, to the border, to work in the factories, or better yet, keep going into the US.
Immediately, there was a huge influx of illegal aliens, for which W. Bush wrung his hands, but did nothing, since the Chamber of Commerce (that include multinational corporations) types are all in favor of cut rate labor from “semi-illegal” aliens.
However, nature intervened to again whup nurture, or in this case, internationalist schemes.
Suddenly the Mexican birthrate has plummeted from high growth, the just sustainability, at about 2.3 children per family. This means that if nobody does anything, in a decade the illegal alien problem would drop like a rock anyway. That is, the number of illegal aliens from Mexico would be small enough that they would not impact our economy.
Almost needless to say, the Chamber of Commerce clowns are very unhappy about this, because it will also cut off their supply of “semi-illegal” labor. So likely right now, they are scheming some way of boosting the number of illegal aliens from some other country or countries.
"We must finish the Mexican Border Fence NOW to stem the tide of Mexicans!!!"
What is more likely to happen is the illegal will go back to mexico to work leaving his illegal family in USA to keep getting the bennies
Total feel good nonsense. Mexicans will continue to use America as their suburb they feel free to go back and forth from. As an economic zone to make money and send it home. This will increase not decrease unless we fence the border and institute computerized visa controls at ports of entry/exit. Neither is very expensive. Maybe 8 billion total for both.
Without this we will drown in Mexican-Hispanic-Asian anchor babies who will be voting one day. Many are already. And immigrants vote 80% Democrat. Adult anchor babies must vote 99% Democrat
*********12 million illegal aliens is a lie. More like 30-35 million of them. The rock bottom Lowest number is 27 million. We have tons of illegal alien Asians. As in China, Bangladesh, Pakistan, India. Plus millions of illegal Hispanics who not Mexican. They are Central American and further south. In the Hispanic world (media etc) word is out that we have idiots and traitors serving us in Washintooon DC. That we don’t treat illegal immigration seriously
Presidential campaign politics out of Texas. Immigration has been solved. /s only slightly
Once rooted here they never leave, to many freebies.
Wishful thinking.
As long as we have free stuff, a lot of ILLEGALS will flock to this country.
Mexico economy is booming because so many companies have left to go there. It is not just Mexico.
“The new jobs that result from the energy boom, Perry predicted, will attract immigrant labor that would otherwise come to the United States.”
Most likely the president will put up a wall to keep those
wetbacks from going back to mexico. Whats the point in
investing in any mexican owned entity, they will just
nationalize it all over again just like they’ve done countless
times before.
In all, mexico is about as trustworthy as an Obama. And just
as worthless to boot. I’m surprised that Perry would be
so gullible.
“The change, Perry predicted, will come as private investors begin taking stakes in Pemex, Mexico’s state-owned oil monopoly.”
He’s smokin something.
1. Those who come here illegally are not getting jobs in the “oil patch” industries in Mexico.
2. Oil supplies are fungible and serve global markets, that will not necessarily make energy - oil based energy - in Mexico cheaper than it is now. Pemex problem is NOT what its oil can be sold for, but its cost of production. When it can be run more efficiently, it will make better profits and ROI, but that will not necessarily lower energy prices in Mexico, given energy consumers - power companies and refineries, will still be looking for the best deals they can get from the global markets, whether the supplier is domestic or not.
3. Privitizing Pemex will a good thing for many reasons. To what extent it will lower the predominately unskilled and low-skilled illegal immigration from Mexico requires a crytsal ball that Perry does not have.
Naw. The Mexican “public sector” will suck up whatever benefit it can as soon as the oil companies start to make some real money. The won’t be able to resist looting the companies. They’re more likely to end up like Venezuela.
The change, Perry predicted, will come as three things take place....private investors begin taking stakes in Pemex, top drug lords continue to get caught and, and.....he couldn’t remember the third thing ;-)
Tancredo:
As a member of Congress, I once had a conversation with Mexican President Vincente Fox. I told him Mexico would never reach its potential as an economic powerhouse unless it could surmount two problems – corruption and government control of the economy exemplified by the state oil monopoly, PEMEX.

[Video] TX Gov Rick Perry Owns CT Gov Dan Malloy During Gun Control Debate on CNN

Rarely do we see state governors debating each other on national television, but that’s exactly what we got to see on CNN’s State of the Union recently.
Connecticut Governor Dan Malloy, a noted anti-gunner and a big reason CT passed such strict gun control laws last year was asked by CNN’s Candy Crowley if he thought gun laws in other states undermined CT’s ability to regulate guns with their strict laws. Malloy said,
I think we have a federal problem in the sense that we are rejecting the idea that we should have tighter controls on who has a gun. Universal background checks would make everyone safer in their states and in mine. It is a starting point. We should not be assigning or allowing folks who have mental health challenges currently to acquire guns.
We should not have a system that allows people who have extensive criminal records to get around –
When Crowley asked the other governor’s present if they agreed with Malloy, Texas Governor Rick Perry was the first to speak up,
Certainly not – the Second Amendment pretty much is a good amendment. And we support it in the state of Texas. The restrictions that you’ve seen states like Connecticut – when you think about the northeast, that was the Silicon Valley, if you will, of gun manufacturing. And you’re seeing those manufacturers leaving the northeast because of the taxation, the regulations, and just the attitude towards manufacturers of weapons.
As a matter of fact, Governor Bentley, was announced on Monday, Remington is moving 2,000 jobs being created there in Huntsville. Governor Haslam in Tennessee welcomed Beretta into his state. We invited Magpool into Texas. So, you’re seeing a shift of these manufacturers out of states that don’t want them there. And I think that is an appropriate move and an appropriate conversation for us to have.
And you’re absolutely right about the Tenth Amendment in the states. I know these governors will make decisions that are best for their citizens. Now, we compete against each other and that’s good.
