Sometimes things are what people say they are - you reading I believe people are shit because I want to know the causes of recent immigration waves says more about you, my friend. Very simplistic and prejudiced assumptions.

OK - I will not dispute that until I have read more. It is interesting to me - once I know more I'll start a thread - or not.

Not what I meant. Your going in-assumption was there must be something big wrong with Mexico. Not precisely the same as thinking Mexicans are shit. though not actually so far from it either....

The number 1 reason for immigration is simple--wages much higher in USA. Workers here can afford remittances home that are very significant in Mexican economy. So what's wrong with Mexico is low wages.

Of course, there are lots of immigrants, and reasons #2-100.
