Is illegal immigration caused indirectly by the u.s?

Question

The u.s imports nearly 30 percent of products in mexico but whenever the u.s economy is down they block certain imports coming in from mexico causing mexicans to lose jobs. I live in mexico and i see how every day people are losing their buissneses to big american companies, many of the people that this happens to go to the u.s. I do not support illegal immigration but i can understand why it happens.

I hope in the future the u.s would stop taking advantage of golbalization and hurting less developed countries like mexico that way the mexican economy would be better end mexicans would stay in mexico and help our country get back on track

what do you think?

Answer 1

No.  It is caused by criminals who cross the border without the permission of our country and its people, and by employers who knowingly hire them.

You suggest we block certain imports and that needs to be substantiated.  I don't believe it can be however.

Answer 2

Not indirectly.  It's very direct.  

If we didn't have an insatiable appetite for cheap labor and cheap goods, they would have no incentive to come here.

Answer 3

The US contributes once they are here. The decision to become a criminal belongs 100% to the illegals.

Just because I see money in a stores cash register, doesn't mean I reach accross the counter and steal it. I don't buy any c**p about illegals, they make the choices themselves and deserve the outcome.
