This is the central fact in the debate that is ignored by both sides for their own reason.<BR/><BR/>The most significant risk-taking cadre is young males, so every problem and benefit you get by increasing your number of young males, you get with immigration. Lower labor costs because more folks are willing to do awful jobs. Higher crime, including murder and rape. More businesses because greater entrepreneurial spirit. More economic growth.Dan tdaxphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205344738190870766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179942.post-47880002565592773092007-05-24T17:11:00.000-04:002007-05-24T17:11:00.000-04:00It's funny Steve.

I used to joke that we could invade Mexico and find only crickets because the entire populace had packed up, swam the Colorado and settled in the south west. <BR/><BR/>On a semi-serious note one can imagine something of a reverse Aztlan scenario in which the the cultural "border" separating the US and Mexico becomes so ambiguous that America slowly absorbs northern Mexico.Jay@Soobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12208597218366281778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37179942.post-30377930543592161692007-05-23T08:57:00.000-04:002007-05-23T08:57:00.000-04:00Well, we could just deny benefits to immigrants fo...Well, we could just deny benefits to immigrants for a period of time, but no one seems to want to solve the problem that way.<BR/><BR/>Let's just do a referendum and see if they want to join the US, that seems to be the long-term trend on a per capita basis.
