You want to over simplify life,
I think you’re right.
Take this thought-process for instance:
“Place I live in has no jobs. Place bad. I will go to another place that has jobs.”
…Way too simple. Damn.
What do you do with your house that will never sell? All of your family lives in your home town. You never made enough money to save much, and how are you going to finance your move. You have a high school education or worse.
Prospects of getting a high paying job are slim. If you move away from your mother in law who would watch the kids, do you know what the cost of child care is? These are just some complications with out be too creative.
And the Mexicans that stream across the borders seem to be able to solve these problems.
That is why they get the jobs these Americans apparently cannot take.
Now, if those Americans apparently are unable to deal with their situations should those jobs not be done by someone else?
What good would that do?
Mexicans understand hard work and sacrifice. They have extended families so child care is not an issue. They have a very strong work ethic and would never just sit around like most welfare Americans waiting for handouts. They would have more than one job to make ends meet.
NOBODY truly understands the opportunities this country (USA) offers as much as immigrants. Most born here are fat a lazy and expect things to be given to them. And politicians pander to this idea of entitlement. This is a foreign concept to immigrants.
I agree with you the Mexican�??s are great people, but we are in America and not Mexico. Mexicans are seriously impacting the wage in the South West I have been told by the experts on this forum that it is not the job of the Government to protect Americans wages from foreign invaders .
I happen to disagree. .If America offers such great opportunities we should annex Mexico. I believe you would see where the Mexican loyalties lay.
I can not own property with in 25 miles of the ocean in Mexico. If I want to operate a business in Mexico, I should marry a national; otherwise it could be seized by the Government. Americans are more than generous with their legal offerings to the Mexicans. America should take its laws off of the books if they do not plan on enforcing them.

Well, the problem is that while Americans are crying that Mexicans are taking their jobs, no one will do these jobs for that kind of pay other than Mexicans. Americans are too proud and too spoiled to work long hard hours for low pay. But Mexicans see it as low pay is better than no pay.
The problem is that Unions in the US have created a false economy based on entitlement. Demanding high wages for low skilled jobs just costs everyone more money and drags down the economy and the businesses being forced to pay high wages to low skilled workers.
For example, GM uses Union labor and is having to lay off a lot of people, but Foreign companies like Toyota are doing fine because even though most Toyota’s sold in the US are actually built in the US, they do not use Union labor. So their costs are less, yet they produce very reliable cars.
So the fact that non-Union labor car companies have been kicking the ass of car companies like GM for years proves my point. Whether it is a car company or a country, having to pay for entitlement drags everything down.
So it’s not that Mexicans are taking all the jobs. It’s that the US non-skilled wage is totally inflated compared to the rest of the world, not just Mexico.
