If the growth in corn exports to Mexico does in fact influence
immigration, politicians will have to contend with more than NAFTA. The
reason corn is so much cheaper to produce in the United States is that
the government subsidizes corn farmers with massive farm bill
incentives.

Which one of you brave Americans would let your family starve because
you lost your job because of foreign (American) corn subsidies ($11
billion)? The entire department of Mexican Agriculture's entire budget
is less than this, por todo. But since we are becoming more like Mexico
with a rich oligarchy and a lot of poor people, you may soon get a
chance to find out what YOU are made of.

It is amazing that Mexicans will come and subsidize our economy. They
plant and pick our crops on the cheap. They mow our lawns, tend our
yards, clean our houses, and watch our kids for low wages. They don't
get unemployment or social security but they do pay taxes like
everybody
else.

And what do Mexicans get for subsidizing our country, a hearty cheer, a
"Good on you"? No, they get vilified to take attention away from the
money sucking leeches (corporations) that run this country.

I guess the problem arises when educated Mexicans immigrate and go into
the construction trades. But it's not the Mexicans fault that our
construction sector is now flat. You can thank the banking sector for
that. But Mexicans do come with a good basic education. They all know
the metric system.

Not even counting the Tejanos who died at the Alamo, the record of
Hispanics in all 20th century American wars is so impressive that
military people study it for inspiration. Hispanics have won more
Medals of Honor (38) than any other ethnic group, despite their
smaller
numbers; 25 percent of the names on Vietnam Wall are those of
Hispanics. It's hard to argue that they haven't paid more than their
share of the price of being Americans.

Yeah, now if they would only emigrate here lawfully, you might have a
leg to stand on.



If the military accepts illegals, that should be enough for YOU to
consider them worthwhile citizens.

No it shouldn't. If the government wishes to grant them visas,
citizenships, traveler's passes, whatever I won't grumble - after all they
would be here LEGALLY. But that isn't happeing, they are here ILLEGALLY,
of their own volition and choice. I can't fathom why you would condone
openly violating the law. This discussion is about illegal immigrants,
not legal immigrants or people with valid work visas. Don't try to lump
me in with all the scumbag racists.



It's sort of weird, though, to think of the military hiring someone because
they have a special piece of paper which allows them to be here, but doesn't
make them citizens. Maybe to emphasize the absurdity, it should involve a
special piece of paper which explicitly says "You can die for this country,
but you're not allowed to pick tomatoes." :-)
