Do you mean to say Mexico is wealthier than Spain?
Not even close. Spain is a modern European country.

That was along the lines of immigrants causing increased sun spot activity and moon craters, right?
Actually he’s not far off. The link above is just the tip of the iceberg – corruption in Mexico runs so deep that their government is essentially powerless. I don’t mean powerless to stop the corruption, I mean the government doesn’t hold the real power – a very few, extremely wealthy individuals do, along with organized crime. They are backed by the equally corrupt military.
That is the reason for the huge disparity between the rich and the poor, and I don’t think it will change in our lifetimes without a major revolution. I don’t blame the immigrants for wanting to come here, I just want it done right:
1. STRICT enforcement of employment laws prevents businesses from hiring illegals. Without work, they’re forced to leave. (The existing laws have never been enforced, so no one can say that it’s been tried.)
2. EFFICIENT (and probably much larger) immigration system that will allow many of those same people back in legally, to work the same jobs, but this time forced to pay income taxes like everyone else.Unfortunately, the next administration is more interested in winning the latino vote by granting amnesty than they are in a permanent solution like this.

April 23, 2008 at 11:30 AM #193231SHILOHParticipantI think Jim Cramer is to financial news –what Richard Simmons is to Fitness —but Simmons is more credible.
There is so much loud mouthed hysteria in Cramer’s presentation.
How exactly will lending get sloppy again? Where is all the free money going to come from now? Lots of banks and investors were burned.
