>>Also, if my memory is correct, Mexico is sitting on a very large source of oil. They just do not have the resources to get it out of the ground. That pool of oil stretches from somewhere in Mexico all the way into the Gulf of Mexico (where have off-shore rigs.) I bet there are many more untapped resources in countries that can not get to it.

>Maybe we could trade 12 million workers for oil?

If they had stayed, there then they could have pumped the oil out, sold it to us instead. They get rich, we get oil, and both would be happy. No. Instead, they come here, take potential jobs from us, live poorly at dirt level wages; they are miserable, we are down, nobody is happy. (just a mind fart of idea.)
