Now MEXICO outpacing Obama on jobs!

Admittedly this post is a bit self-serving, but this little tidbit is so stunning the longer you think about it, how could I not pass it on:
Do you realize that America has the worst economy on our continent?
White House officials will get unbelievably angry when this is pointed out, but 5% unemployment was what this nation enjoyed under President Bush. So what did President Bush know, and what do Mexico and Canada now know that President Obama doesn’t know?
Most likely it’s got something to do with the idea that small businesses are the engine to a growing economy. And while Mexico is building things and growing things, inner city Obama voters are sitting on their tukas (or in the collective “tukai”) groaning about how much the government “ain’t doin’ for me!”

Well, Obummer said he’d solve the immigration problem. Who knew?
Wonder how Mexico will feel about all the Americans sneaking in to do the jobs Mexicans won’t do?

It’s not hard to keep your unemployment low when you have exported nearly 20% of your population to another country right next door.

Not to mention that 20% is mostly composed of criminals and unskilled, semiliterate peasants with a dozen snot-noses in tow. In other words, the LEAST productive class.
If we had a Mexican-border version of Ellis Island running, the turnback rate would easily be 50%.

Wonder what kind of laws Mexico would pass to keep Americans out if we started encouraging our poor to illegally migrate there by the millions? I’m guessing they’d build a real border wall, have armed guards on it, and punish illegal crossers severely. I’m also guessing their politicians would not jump to their feet and applaud robustly if a U.S. president gave a speech to their congress and called them a bunch of racists for having laws that allow Mexican cops to ask to see some identification from all the new “undocumented citizens” of Mexico.
