Very interesting read, On the same subject I met a Canadian that is a registered Nurse in Canada that said he works in a Detention center in Canada where they house a lot of Chinese Illegals I have heard Canada has become a jumping off place for Chinese Illegals Intent on coming to the U.S.

I used to see, twenty at a time, Chinese, walking single file down the Bufadora Road toward Maneadero right by your house, John..........Pork Fried Rice recipes sticking out of every pocket.
Ensenada used to be a major drop-off for them. Maybe still is, but they don't tend to wander down the road at high noon anymore.

From the article:
" Other things are holding people in Mexico. They have a lower unemployment rate than we do."
......................................

How would he know this? Mexico has no way of knowing how many are unemployed in country, and how many of their unemployed are crossing the border, taking themselves out of the rolls of Mexico's unemployed? [as if they had "rolls" to deal with]

Should the shoe shiners and Chicle salesmen realistically be considered employed? Are the beggers employed?
Does Mexico have an unemployment department that supplies figures to establish the unemployment numbers?
No No No No No No No No and No. It's all just another government lie to encourage foreign investment.

Not to mention that Mexico was leaning toward the Axis Powers, against the US, until they pulled their head out to get some air.

America....the country that everybody loves to hate.
