>>Since then it has become the battle cry of the illegal immigrant. But they don't really know what and why of it.

>>Times have changed, an amendment to the amendment seems reasonable. ;-)

>>The US gov't has an obligation to enforce the border.... I wish they would.

>>NZ is completely surrounded by ocean and still we have illegal immigrants.

>>Some have advocated building a huge wall between you and Mexico. A better idea might be to export more jobs to Mexico to remove the incentive to cross over. Mexicans perceive that Mexico is a land of few opportunities. The little person can't change that, all they can do is try to make a better life for their family. So they'll keep coming as long as there is such a disparity and as long as there are Americans willing to overlook the rules to get cheap labor.

>All true. None of this would be happening if not for the economic disparity between the U.S. and Mexico. It's one thing to compare prices and costs around the globe, quite another to compare disparities between bordering nations. Of course the more resourceful on the poor side will step across that border, duh.

>Re NZ immigration, I well remember Lisa Slater's saga gaining approval to live in NZ with her boyfriend (later husband). She had a degree from Harvard, was a recognized authority in her field, and was basically told she had no job prospects in New Zealand. Now that's tough!

Mike, You've got to be in the movie business now to get into NZ! :-)
