Mexico has reacted furiously to a bill signed into law by the US this
week
that would fund a border wall and prevent illegal Mexican migrants
from
obtaining US driving licences.
President Vicente Fox said he would lodge a diplomatic complaint, and
was
considering complaints to multilateral bodies if Mexico could not
unable to
resolve the problem bilaterally.
In the US, leaders of the Mexican community threatened to strike to
send a
message to US employers that they could not survive without cheap
Mexican
labour.
Santiago Creel, Mexico's interior secretary, said the "Real ID" law
was
"negative, inconvenient, and obstructionist".
"Building walls doesn't help anyone build a good neighbourhood," he
said.
"Taking away the possibility of obtaining driving licences for people
who
are working in legal jobs, who pay their taxes there, who send
remittances
home here, seems to us to be an extreme measure, particularly given
the new
understanding that we thought we had after the re-election of
President
Bush."

I think this pretty much exposes the whole agenda of the government of
Mexico---The US is not to protect its borders, the USA is not to
enforce
its laws.
Now, I would like to see something done about employers who knowingly
hire
illegal workers. Did you know that it is a federal felony to do so?
Did you know that some states, like Colorado, specifically forbid
local law
enforcement from assisting the feds. in immigration matters? They
also
forbid, under "sanctuary" laws, employers from not hiring people they
suspect of being illegal.
I wonder how much of the Mexican economy runs on illegals sending their
meager American paychecks home to their families. Judging from Fox's
reaction, it's a LOT. You'd think that the Mexicans would be more
interested in developing their own educational system (the average
Mexican has a fourth grade education, I think) so that Mexicans would be
able to create jobs within Mexico that would pay well and create a
stable middle class that in turn could support an advanced economy
instead of basing the whole country's existence on mooching off the rich
gringos. A country that has its whole economy and society based on
fleecing the rich is a giant welfare state, and is therefore inherently
unstable (as well as doomed to poverty and mediocrity). If the US
economy ever falters badly, something that is a distinct possibility
within the next 30 years, Mexico will be brought to the verge of chaos,
like Argentina was five years ago when the rich stopped investing there.
Argentina learned the hard way that basing your economy on welfare
handed out by the rich is a bad idea. Mexico is headed down that same
road.
I've heard it said that as far as income goes oil exports are #1, tourism
is #2 and the
remittences from workers in the US are #3.
