Illegal immigration down

True. It's just that the majority is in poverty:

Third World Map

I don't know, that map is a little flakey. For the most part it seems accurate but there are some major goof ups with it. For starters, why the hell is South Korea highlighted in red while North Korea is in yellow? South Korea is a first world country seeing as how it is in the top 15 as far as GDP is concerned. Due to that and its small population compared to countries that have about the same GDP but larger population, South Korea enjoys a high standard of living. Also, neither Egypt or Saudi Arabia classify as third world. Neither does Iran for that matter. And Kazakhstan is far closer to third world than South Africa.

I wouldn't call Brazil and India third world countries. Along with Russia and China, Brazil and India make up the BRIC countries which are the the fastest growing economies in the world.

In other news, mandatory Hispanic "resorts" gain immense popularity.

Ha, I kid. I'm sure they're fine.

I can see your point with that. The map is correct as far as China and India is concerned due to their fast growing economy, but they are still developing considering that they do still have some third world esc qualities as far as standard of living goes. Same for Brazil. Also, as odd as it may sound, Nigeria also has one of the world's fastest growing economies.

re: Illegal immigration down


James Carville once said "It's the economy stupid" and this definitely applies!
Unemployment is somewhere between 10 and 16 percent, therefore few employment opportunities exist and immigrants tend to go home, it's simple economics.

I understand that the mex-american drug trade has slowed down as well -
If you don't have a job, it's a safe bet that you're not going to be visiting the dope man very often . . more elementary economics.

Is it too much to ask that immigrants wait their fucking turn in line?
Why do we have to flood the country with an innumerable amount of immigrants?
Why no outcry about the environmental impact of such an undertaking?
To what end are we going to tolerate this? . . . the end of our country I guess. :mad:/


:dunno:
 
Well that's good. I think. I hope its not just the economy though because if it is that means they are only going to fluid back in probably greater numbers when its strong again possibly.

It might be more accurate to say when the economy is stronger. I don't think the American economy has actually been strong since the 1960s.

They're probably kept that way for a reason. If those countries standard of living gets to where it is in North America it will mean no more cheap labor as those people will want higher wages to support their new standard of living, hence their economies slow down. Companies like Nike stop producing stuff in China and move to the next country that can provide cheap labor. Those call centres in India, gone.
 
So, we've decided their numbers are down, in the process documenting the undocumented workers?
 
I went to Dunkin Donuts this morning and found more white guys hopping in the back of a pick-up truck than the usual crowd.
