Immigrants Caught in Mexico

[blackangst1]

Why would they pay $7000 to come across illegally when they could pay less than that to do it legally?

:hmm:

Racist b@stards, harrassing undocumented workers like that...

Yeah! How else are American business going to make a shit load of a profit off of cheap labor?!

The average American worker is too fat lazy and expensive to work! So, these poor business need these workers to keep AH-MER-IKA alive and profitable!!

Damn socialists,... cutting down the Capitalists at the knees GAWD DAMMIT!!!!!

A lot of these countries (including Mexico) are so corrupt that immigrating legally might well cost more in bribes while taking a lot more time, and that's if these people would even be allowed to bribe their way into scarce and desirable legal immigration spots.

One word: Time.

If you do it LEGALLY, it would take you for a very long time to do it (if you are lucky), especially if you have huge backlog in places like Mexico and South America countries.

Corruption/money under the table/kickback doesn't help either.

<<----LEGAL immigrant so he does know what it takes to do it the right way.

With that many people in a truck, it's a matter of minutes before CO2 poisoning starts happening. How did they survive??

They can't get in legally. These are peasants who often don't speak English, don't have an education, don't have any skills, and work minimum wage jobs. They have no future and are so desperate they'll borrow money from every relative they have to come here. Also, as Werepossum points out, bribery isn't just common where they come from its institutionalized. If a cop stops you in Mexico the first thing to do is offer them a bribe.

Sometimes they don't. Forget the CO2, the heat inside those things can be enough to kill you.

OK?

Well, cut off Unemployment from 99 weeks to something far more reasonable, and I betcha people would be willing to work those jobs no problem. Of course, the businesspeople (both Left and Right) couldn't get higher profits, and the Bleeding Hearts couldn't whine about 'AH-MER-IKA', so the Politicians bought by both of those sides will just keep on keepin on with their Nothing solutions/"solutions". Which camp did you fall under?

Damn socialists,... cutting down the Capitalists at the knees GAWD DAMMIT!!!!!

Oh, I'm sure their border control is quite capitalist....bribes are awesome, nothing like free easy money.

Why would you want people to define what happened in Mexico in terms of US politics?

Because Mexico likes to lecture the US on our policy against illegal immigration.

I'm sure if I handed you a cordless drill and a set of magnum pro HSS bits you'd figure it out sooner or later.

lolz we are more corrupt than Mexico. Proof is the illegal immigration problem we have and they don't. Their govt actually wants to protect their citizens rather than enrich a tiny minority of business owners. Not to mention stuff you'd learn if you read matt taibbi.

WTF? Is there another Mexico youre speaking of other than the one that borders CA, AZ, and TX? Because surely you arent talking about THAT one.

LOL
