To summarize this article, "if you give us money, we'll send half as many illegal immigrants your way:"
Economic aid targeted to 50 regions in just six Mexican states could cut illegal immigration to the United States in half, a Mexican congressman said Thursday...
Lack of jobs and economic desperation is what drives hundreds of thousands of Mexicans to cross the border illegally every year seeking jobs here, according to Arnal Palomera.
"It's cheapest for the United States to help Mexico to grow" by stimulating jobs and industry there than to continue to pay for "security, helicopters, Border Patrol, fences, walls," Arnal Palomera said.
Nice plan. Can we pay in pennies? Oh, and how's that multi-billion dollar oil production working out for you, by the way?
