Shouldn’t we just send all the Mexicans home to whichever Mexico they come from?
First of all, there is only ONE Mexico. Another fact is that many immigrants are incorrectly identified as Mexicans. A great majority of illegal immigrants come from countries in Central and South America. Mexico has a long history with the development of the U.S. Approximately, one-third of the U.S. was former Mexican territory.
It is true that our U. S. economy is tied to immigrant labor. Very few persons in the U.S. would take a job on the floor of a meat packing house or work in the fields. They perform labor that is backbreaking and sometimes dangerous, like meat packing. They also spend money on the same goods and services that you and I do.
Although their children do attend public school, it is a misconception that social services, like welfare are being drained by illegal immigrants. Most illegal immigrants will not seek help from social services, for fear of deportation. Additionally, it may not be ethical, but if they are working under an assumed name and social security number, they are still paying into social security, medicare and income tax.
Some say we should just get rid of the Mexicans, while others also say that we should totally do so, but maybe not just yet. Let’s face it; we do need them to keep our nation afloat across a number of economic sectors. Not only do they take all the jobs you and I would rather starve than endure, but they also buy our goods and services, fill vital community roles, shop at Wal-Mart, and cook the best damn chimichangas this side of Puerto Vallarta. Our agricultural, manufacturing and dollar store sectors would promptly falter if we kicked them all out of the country, sending ripples throughout the entire national economy even worse than what we’ve faced because they all bought houses they couldn’t afford, requiring the bailout of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Bear Stearns, and the entire banking sector. That doesn’t mean we should be letting them have children or anything, and that’s the exact concern I’m being paid so unexplainably well to lay out for you.
