Anyone who thinks that Mexican workersdon’t boost the dickens out of the US economy has never been to San Diego on a Friday evening as thousands upon thousands of legal workers crowd through the gate into Tiajuna, burdened down with all their purchases to bring home for the weekend.

Anyone who has to go to a nursing home in the US will learn about TnT’s also … becuase tons of them work as caregivers at wages well below minimum .. and their unemployment and social security deductions get taken out, even tough they can’t avail of the benefits. Mexico as the 51st state? I’d support it .. although I wonder what most Mexicans would vote if they were offered the choice … didn’t Puerto Rico turn down the path toward territory/statehood in a nation-wide plebiscite?

Hi Geoff,

You’re welcome to your thoughts, sir, although a., I don’t have to agree with you and b., I’m a little put off by your choice of words “if I am really living in the Philippines’. So tell me, do you usually read the sites of liars .. anywhere you can drop your URL, even if the site publisher is a charlatan? Interesting. I can assure you I live in the Philippines, although again, it bothers me a bit to have to justify my truthfulness to someone who apparently just dropped in today.

Anyway, that business aside, I suggest you read the article again .. it is as much aimed at trying to keep Filipinos out of trouble, along with their possible partners, than it is having anything negative to say about the TnT.

It used to be sort of a joke … it’s not a joke any more, with the extensiveness efforts being made to ’round up illegals’. That’s my only point. The Sunday papers are filled with ads for job after job in Canada, Australia, Saudi and any number of countries who welcome Filipino workers, the idea that going illegal in the US because there is no other choice doesn’t ring true with me at all … but you, or anyone else is entitled to your opinion.

Just watch out for Sheriff Arpaio, my friend. he generally only rounds up Mexicans, but he’s not known for being a a patient and fair man, and with a name like Cruz … well, who can say

Hi Dave,

TnT is a problem for a lot of Pinoys in the US, but it is just due to lack of work here, as you may have noticed if you really are living here in the Philippines with us. I admit that illegal immigration is a crime, but its a crime of necessity.

Just my thoughts.

Hi Dave;
In North America there is Canada, which has a very open border for both them and us.
Then there is The U.S.of A. which has an open border with Mexico for us, but not for them.
Then we have Mexico which is the sixth largest oil producer on the planet Earth. So, they have oil, we like oil! We used to have jobs, and still do for them, as our lazy butts won’t do “That kind of work”.
Do you see where I’m going with this? Annex Mexico as the 51st State, tear down the border and rebuild it at the State of “Old Mexico’s” southern border (I renamed it, because we already have a New Mexico.) The southern border is quite narrow and we can take a few billion or so and build one hell of a wall down there. Simple solution, we get the oil and they get that blue passport with the eagle on it, we stop the drugs from Central and South America, its win-win for everybody. I’ve be expounding on this topic for years, but to no avail.
