More research confirms what we already know from other research and experience. Deborah Bonello reports from Mexico City in this LATimes.com blog posting.
Most Mexicans think their lives would be better in the United States, and one in three said they'd move to the U.S. if they could, according to the latest findings on Mexican attitudes from the Pew Global Attitudes Project.
Shamnesty would only encourage more of them to come here illegally, as amnesty in the mid-80s encouraged 20 million illegal aliens to flood into the nation.
Half of those who said they'd migrate north of the border said they would do so without permission, although recent data on immigration suggests that the flow of Mexicans north is slowing.
Slowing. That means the rate of the increase in the influx is slowing down – and that means we're still getting more.
They’re right, of course - life is better here. They ones who don't know that simply don't know enough. Or maybe they have outstanding warrants here.
In news that is not unrelated, the Los Angeles City Council has voted to place limits on how many roosters households can have.
