It's too bad the republican party is so racist against Mexicans. These immigrants would vote republican while making our economy kick ass if the republicans would just stop treating them like lesser life forms.

“The number of immigrants added to the labor force every year is of a magnitude not seen in this country for over a century,”. . .  “If this huge influx of mostly low-skill workers provides some benefits to the economy as a whole—especially by keeping our workforce young, in contrast to an increasingly geriatric Europe and Japan—it also threatens to depress further the wages of blue-collar Americans and put strains on an already overburdened safety net.”  Barack Obama

There's a racist Republican who's also named Barack Obama? Wow.

Obama is just protecting his unions. The republicans should be on the immigrants' side here. They would demolish the dems because their special interests align more closely with the interests of the immigrants. They just can't take that step as a party, though.

Sounds like a few years ago, Barack Obama was in "they took our jobs" mode, regarding those low life, work for nothing Mexicans.

Yes, opportunity lost.

:lol: Let's break this down...

"Buncha racist Republicans": You know who has a bunch of racist Republicans? Oregon. Yup, deep red Oregon. 66% apparently, who voted to cancel a new state law conferring DLs on illegal immigrants. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20141116/us-immigration-oregon-3fe495c4ab.html

"They would vote republican": Poor people generally vote for the party that offers them more free stuff, especially when they are immigrating in such masses so as to not effectively integrate into society.

"Legalization would be good for the economy" - they're already here, and our economy isn't exactly going gangbusters. Actually, the labor participation rate continues to drop and wages are stagnant. Hmmm... Conferring legal status on illegal immigrants won't fix these problems or help our economy - aside from perhaps a marginal increase in tax revenue - but it will ensure an even greater strain on our social comfort hammock.

Poor people generally don't vote.

Our economy is best in the world.

If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

If your fee to enter the country isn't included, is it really AI?

mexico has required an entry form (basically a tourist visa) for us citizens for as long as i've been going there.  i don't know what this story is attempting to impart, but it's doing a really shitty job of it.  if the new permit (if it is new) is replacing the old one, then it is more liberal.  seven days without needing the permit instead of three.  maybe it is some new permit unique to persons only visiting baja?

The last time I went Mexico it cost 65 cents and there was no paperwork, so not sure what you're trying to impart here.  If you fly they make you fill out some hokie visa that the flight attendant collects.

This visa is $28, so that would be more.

if you didn't get a visitor's permit the last time you went to mexico, either you're extremely old and went before they were required (no idea when that was, prolly around ww2), you stayed within 20 km of the border and for less than 3 days or you broke the law and should have been thrown in jail.  the 65 cents you paid was probably a toll to cross a bridge or something.  not related to legal entry into the republic of mexico.

the hokie visa that you have to get when you fly is the same hokie visa you have to get if you enter by land or boat (if you intend to stay for longer than three days or intend to enter further than 20 km from the border.

googling around a little, it appears that mexico has been updating their immigration forms over the last couple years.  it looks like maybe instead of three days, you get seven days before you need to have a tourist "visa".

also, they are going to come out with a tourist visa that is valid for 10 years for relatives of mexican citizens.   :Woot:


if i had to guess the change at the otay and san ysidro crossings is that there is a pilot program to allow/require visitors to obtain the visitor's permit at the point of entry from the border entry officers instead of having to go to the migration office and do it after entering the country.  lol @ the shitty reporting by everyone who has reported on it.

The 65 cents was to cross a bridge, recently. I could have written Charlie Fuckface on the airplane visa and stayed longer than 3 days as everyone on the flight likely did. Good guesses.

The only people mexico tries to keep out are Guatemalans on their way to the U.S.  They might take their jobs.
