Well, the Mexican drug cartells would have a hard time catching all, or a majority of, Anons. It seems like the ones the Drug cartells can get to (Mexico, Southern US) are largely against this, but the ones from Europe and possibly other parts of the US and Latin America want to push this through (that's a t leats what logic dictates, if I were a Mexican Anon I would have stopped associating myself with Anonimous yesterday). This also explains the flip-flopping of Anonimous when it comes to their demands and whether they'd do it or not.

Mexico police nearly nabbed El Chapo http://news.yahoo.com/ap-exclusive-mexico-police-nearly-nabbed-el-chapo-084714843.html
Translation: There was a disagreement on the amount of protection money El Chapo must pay the Mexican government; the disagreement has been cleared up.
Must've been that electrified fence thingy we built that did the trick... Let's just hope it works in reverse! Can't have them leaving... who'll pick our strawberries?
Glad to see something things can't change... Mexican posters still can't seem to recognize sarcasm, even when there's a ********ing winky face in the post. Thanks for the neg rep, guy who literally never posted here before. Wonder how you found this thread...
You can't cop out with sarcasm on a public forum. Mostly everyone here are strangers, you gotta save the sarcasm for friends. It's like if someone said all Germans and Ukranians are pure trash. And if someone objected to that, then the commenter can respond with "Oh I was just being sarcastic. You didn't get it." That'd be a cop-out.
If you actually spent any time in P&CE instead of just dropping in occasionally to get offended, maybe you wouldn't be looking like an idiot right now. No one but you and your sock thinks that I actually believe what I just wrote. Now go back to Rivalries with the rest of the mouthbreathers.
No, it'd be like me coming into the Mexican forum and concluding, oh wow this is the epicenter of homophobia.
Certainly he and his boys need to post a water fountain picture of Landon Donovan to make any thread legit.
We're allowed to call people idiots here? Ok, then you're the idiot for thinking I have a sock. PC&E isn't just for regulars. If you weren't a mouthbreather, you'd know that.
So lets move away from ICF's obsession with finding internet smack about Mexico and consider the issue. The migration from Latin America to the US has long been dominated by the simple math of poor economic development in Latin America combined by the need for cheap labor in the US. The issue now is that the economy in the US has tanked, so work is harder to come by, but also Latin America has seen rapid development recently. Mexico and much of South America are now better developed economically, better run politically and generally safer to live in than they have been in the past fifty years. The combination of the two issues will likely lead to a dramatic decrease in migration from Latin America to the US. This is one of the reasons I'm fairly convinced that migration in this century will be dominated by African migrants coming to the US. Latin America will continue to develop and while there still will be migration northwards, it will not be near the same level as it has been. Africa however, I don't think is in line for near the economic growth or security that Latin America is in.
I don't think you need to be a friend of the poster to be able to understand that his problem was not with Mexicans but rather with the fence, and by extension with US immigration policy. I think the post speaks for itself. Try rereading the post after assuring yourself that not everything gringos post is racist, xenophobic or anti-Mexican.
Another huge factor is demographics. As Latin Americans are becoming better educated one result is that they are having less children and families are becoming smaller. One of the biggest reasons for emigration and instability has to do with families having ten or more children and the inability of a society to accommodate such numbers. But generally education tends to result in smaller families. This is why fomenting and promoting education worldwide -and particularly in Africa- should be one of the highest priorities, both for the UN and for developed nations. I always contend that promoting education is the best form of aid. (Needless to say there are many other benefits to promoting education in addition to the smaller families, but that particular one is a huge one and one that might be critical not just in terms of migration but also in saving the human race from impending doom.)
There are some weird things going on in the aid world right now. In Northern Kenya, southern Somalia/Ethiopia they are paying people to cut down trees, which are turned into charcoal and used to cook with, but it leads to desertification which leads to famine, which causes the aid companies to send in food aid, which increases the population well past the carrying capacity of the region ........ and repeat.

Yeah, this must be the first time in history an Internet post has been misunderstood. See what I did there? Maybe next time you should chill and you would have more credence if you didn't insult the poster after claiming no offense was intended.
Oh look,it's the closet cryptoracist, ICF. I wonder how well he will do without TallTowerMom to hand out 1000 point infractions.
