[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Doesn't more jobs for Mexicans translate to fewer Mexicans trying to cross the border?[/quote]

Yes. And in fact more Mexicans are leaving the US than arriving, as there economy is so much stronger than it was.

This mentality of walls and tariffs to protect jobs is fundamentally wrong-headed. We should be protecting workers, not jobs. Trying to stop the economy from evolving is what got Southern Europe into its current mess. The growth companies of the future are ones that have not even been founded yet, and the future googles and face books will pay a lot more than rust belt manufacturing,. And yes, many of them will be founded by immigrants.[/quote]

Workers = Jobs.  The reality is when manufacturing leaves we dependent on imports.  How many googles and facebooks do we need?  Look-we pay more for verizon cell due to calls and cell tower service.  We have control and some degree of regulation over US manufacturing.

Chinese drywall anyone?  Only stuff  for me to buy not made in USA is disposable stuff.  [/quote]
