Curing Illegal Immigration- Not So Hard
Here's an interesting item from the New York Times:
"MEXICALI, Mexico — Census data from the Mexican government indicate an extraordinary decline in the number of Mexican immigrants going to the United States.
Mexican and American researchers say that the current decline, which has also been manifested in a decrease in arrests along the border, is largely a result of Mexicans’ deciding to delay illegal crossings because of the lack of jobs in the ailing American economy."
Long-time readers of this blog (around here, that's about two months) may remember Green Eagle making the claim that illegal immigration to first world countries is almost totally the consequence of the vast gap in standards of living between rich and poor nations. I guess we are getting a lesson about that which none of us needs.
Green Eagle also suggested that there are two ways to deal with this problem. Either their incomes can come up, or ours are going to go down.
Apparently the caring, humanitarian coalition of multinational corporations that controls our economy has determined that the second choice is better.
What do you think?
