Step right up, suckers!!!!

Mexico is becoming a majority-middle-class country, which reduces incentives to emigrate. I predict we’ll never again see Mexican immigration of the magnitude we saw between 1982 and 2007.

Um, no, Mexico isn’t becoming a “middle class country.” Mexico is becoming a failed narco state overrun by psychotically violent drug gangs that is rapidly developing into a huge security risk for the entire region. Honduras is coming apart at the seams: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jan/19/central-america-battle-drug-cartels Meanwhile, the US continues treating the cartels as a law enforcement problem rather than a developing national security risk.

And our room-temperature IQ Republican pundits and politicians want to legalize and import more of this.

Relax: This is not another 1986 amnesty

Nope. 20 million instead of three million.
PS, how is president Romney doing?

Glad to hear it Mikey.
In your world, I bet the second time you are raped isn’t as unpleasant either.

Now all get Obama’care’.

Open the borders to all the world’s moochers. Why not?

If that’s right, it means we won’t see a wave of illegals, as we saw after the 1986 law.

Every friggin sentence this fool writes is dumber than the last. And Mexico is not the only source of illegals, anyway.

Relax: This is not another 1986 amnesty

It’s almost 15 times worse, as the 1986 amnesty estimated only 750,000 slimeball illegals (when it ended up with over 3,000,000). This one starts out with the laughable number of 11,000,000 (which would end up to be something quite a bit larger, too).

Barone, STFU and go away. You’re an idiot.

But net migration from Mexico appears to have been zero since the housing bubble burst in 2007.

Based on what, you blithering idiot?

We don’t know whether it will resume again.

We don’t? We don’t even know if it actually stopped – which I highly, highly doubt.

But we do know (as we didn’t in the decade after our free-trade agreement) that Mexico’s economy can grow faster than ours, as it is now.

LOL. Any economy can grow faster than ours. We stopped growing, moron. That’s what that little “-” in front of the GDP “growth” number means. And even aside from the fraudulent numbers, we borrow and spend over a trillion dollars to claim less than $300 billion in “growth” for all the rest of the quarters. In ordinary calculations that would be called “contraction” as the borrowed money must be paid back and is not free, as idiots like you and the leftists and GOP leadership would have us believe. If I lend you $1,000,000 this year, you can’t tack that on to your “income” and claim that you made an extra million. I know, I know … it’s a difficult concept for journalists, politicians and pundits to understand …
