>>Don't take it personal Jim. Most of us, well, most of the people that I know anyway, know that our southern border has always been the bigger problem.

We have many Canadians living in the United States illegally, but the ones I know are not working for minimum wage or less in order to survive. There are many people from other nations living here illegally. The media helps to give the “proper image” of all events.

The last time I checked the average wage for Mexicans was $700/year. At minimum wage they can earn $15,000 in the USA. That's 21 times more than they make at home. One person could work here and send $3000 home and his family in Mexico would be living on 4 times their average earnings. If I were a Mexican you'd have to shoot me to keep me out of this country.
