ROBERT NAMER ON MEXICAN IMMIGRATION

THE MEXICAN FOREIGN MINISTRY SAYS A WAY MUST BE FOUND TO ALLOW ORDERLY AND SAFE MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES.  IN A JOINT STATEMENT WITH THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT, IT SAID THAT LAST WEEK'S DEATH OF 14 ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THE ARIZONA DESERT HAD EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR A NEW AGREEMENT ON MIGRATION AND BORDER SECURITY.

HOLD ON A MINUTE!  HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE OR PLAN FOR AN ORDERLY AND SAFE ILLEGAL MIGRATION TO THE UNITED STATES?  ARE THEY EXPECTING THE U.S. BORDER PATROL TO HELP ILLEGAL MEXICANS ENTER THE UNITED STATES?  WOULD THEY LIKE AN ESCORT ACROSS THE BORDER?  MAYBE THEY WOULD LIKE FOR THE UNITED STATES TO SET UP WELCOME CENTERS ALONG THE BORDER -- STOCKED WITH FOOD, CLOTHING, MEDICAL NEEDS AND EVEN WELFARE APPLICATIONS FOR ALL THOSE WHO WANT TO COME TO THE U.S. ILLEGALLY.

MEXICO SAYS THAT BORDER CROSSING ARE MORE DANGEROUS.  THEY BLAME THE PROBLEM ON THE FACT THAT BORDER PATROLS CONCENTRATE THEIR EFFORTS ON THE MORE POPULATED PARTS OF THE BORDER, FORCING THE SMUGGLERS AND THEIR CLIENTS TO TAKE THE RISK OF CROSSING THROUGH THE DESERT.

IN REALTY, ILLEGAL MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS ARE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR THE UNITED STATES AND GOOD FOR MEXICO.  MOST ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, IF NOT ALL, THAT COME TO THE UNITED STATES ARE UNSKILLED, UNEDUCATED AND DESTITUTE.  STATISTICS SHOW THAT A VAST MAJORITY STAY THAT WAY.  THE UNITED STATES MUST PUT AN END TO THIS MADNESS, BUT INSTEAD THERE IS TALK OF PROVIDING MEXICANS GUEST WORK VISAS, AND EXPEDITING CITIZENSHIP TO THE "ILLEGALS."  THE UNITED STATES IS SELF-DESTRUCTING!
