Part of the issue is that the Mexican government is almost totally
bankrupt
and the central government has in fact very little control in some places.
Just because the guys in Mexico City say not to collect a duty does not
mean
the folks hundreds of miles away on the border are going to pay attention
to
it.
And, in fact, the Mexican government DOES like it for folks from the US to
move to Mexico, especially if they bring money with them.
While the US economy is in pretty sad shape, it's a lot worse in Mexico
right now. A lot of the immigration problems we are seeing in the US are
the result of people in Mexico having no other alternative to make a
living.
Fixing the Mexican economy is going to have to happen before we can deal
with the immigration issues in the US, I am sorry to re****t. Free trade
is one of the things that in the long run ought to help it.
