It is not America's job to send jobs to Mexico. The Mexican government needs to get off it's lazy a$$ and create some econimic stimulation, not to mention getting away from their corrupt ways.
Personally, I'd rather have a stable and democratic nation on our southern border. If that means providing well-paying consistent jobs to that nation, so be it. It is in our best interest to improve life in Mexico... a happy democratic neighbor over a socialist one any day.

Bill O'Reilly was making a major dig on this point in The Factor tonight.
It seems that the Foreign Secretary of Mexico had made comments to the effect that if our National Guard were to arrest illegal Mexican aliens in our country - he would start filing law suits against the U.S.
Mr. O'Reilly responded that if the suits were placed, O'Reilly would call for a ban against Mexican business interests such as tourism and products.
I thought it sounded serious and O'Reilly said if the Mexicans didn't think he was serious - just ask the French.
I thought that NAFTA was supposed to take care of that?????
Let me see if I have this straight?
Quite a number of Mexicans want to forego our immigration laws and feel that they are entitled to walk across the Mexican-USA border and that they are entitled to jobs, welfare, and voting rights? The United Nations views these aliens as 'legitimate migrants'? Our President thinks, because they are human, that they should be welcomed as 'guest workers' even though they broke the law (Title 8 USC) by coming here without passing through an immigration checkpoint? We have a United States Congress who insists on passing more immigration laws even though volumes exist that are not being enforced? Private citizens who have chosen to assist the Border Patrol are called 'vigilantes' by our leaders?
My God, is country screwed up??????????????
