If this out flux of jobs to Mexico keeps up the American people are going to start sneaking across the border into Mexico to live and acquire employment. Mexico will them have an immigration problem. Lots of Gringos. They will probably start to give them all sorts of benefits in Mexico. Let them vote and grant them amnesty and make them Mexican citizens.
Things will progress and before you know it you will have a white president of Mexico.

S2000- there are many reasons why we shouldn't completely abandon entire industries, such as the automotive industry, which provided the backbone of manufaturing that helped us during WWII.
Take, for example, rare earth magnets. The materials used aren't really that rare, actually, but currently, most of the mining (40%) is done in China. The US used to have facilities, but the companies involved moved the equipment overseas. Now, we've got good trade relations with China for now, but if those were to happen to turn sour, we'd be in deep trouble- rare earth magnets are used in everything from cars to computers to iPhones. In other words, a degree of self-sufficiency is absolutely necessary for every industrial nation.

ah...I think they already do. Do you know what Enrique Peña Nieto looks like? I'll bet the rent money, he is whiter than you (and better looking!) |

No Bob, it wasn't a surprise.
I wager if Aces met my mexican friends, he would have no idea they were mexican. He wouldn't know what to do with my old friend, the philosopher Manuel deLanda. |

I love deLanda's books. Especially his "A Thousand Years of Non-Linear History."
You're very fortunate to know him. |

We met back in the early 90's. We were both studying 3D animation together. I've got some stories....
He is a great guy. Last saw him about 2 years ago when they did a retrospective of his early films. |

Gilberto Enrique Peña del Mazo, was an electrical engineer; his mother is MarÃa del Perpetuo Socorro Ofelia Nieto Sánchez. If he was filling out a for to purchase a firearm would he check (W) for white? I don't think so. As far as him being better looking than me...beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Maybe you think he is cute, whatever. Also my gut feeling if you called him "white" he would be rather mad at you. Of course you might have called Michael Jackson white in his later years but that is just you.

You know exactly what my post meant and chose to leave the whole post out but just put in what you thought would spin it. My post says nothing more than many Americans will go to Mexico looking for jobs that are going there for good reason. Soon there will be an immigration problem just as we have here with the Mexicans. All said, and you know it, in jest. I have know a lot of people with agendas in my life and people who for one reason or another like to start issues but you really take the cake. While we are not supposed to call people names here I cannot help but call you petty. If that statement gets deleted or me banned so be it but let me repeat, you are petty. Here is my whole post that you are referring to do you really think it is serious. Like they are going to give benefits like we do. What is your problem Bob? Here is the post in quotes: "If this out flux of jobs to Mexico keeps up the American people are going to start sneaking across the border into Mexico to live and acquire employment.
