What a
frightening thought, considering our government has no desire, plans or
thoughts of resisting any one from coming across our borders, instead, are
encouraging it! ~MAC

How much more help does Fox want from Bush? Fox is
ticked that he isn't *wining* - meaning that America
becomes Northern Mexico.

[excerpt from 8/17/05 Lou Dobbs show]
Still ahead, new fears that the illegal immigration crisis in this country
could escalate dramatically. It turns out that half of Mexico's population wants to come to the United States.
And new details tonight of how British police bungled a surveillance operation
against radical Islamist terrorists and killed an innocent Brazilian citizen.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
DOBBS: There are heightened concerns tonight about the escalating illegal
immigration and border security crisis that squarely faces this country. Now as
many as 50 million citizens of Mexico
say they want to come to the United
States, and many of them say they're
willingly ready to cross our border illegally.
Casey Wian reports.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CASEY WIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): Nearly half of Mexico's 106
million people want out of their country. Two surveys of Mexicans conducted in
February and May of this year by the Pew
Hispanic Center
found 41 and 46 percent would go to live in the United States if they had the means
and opportunity. Incredibly, 21 percent, or more than 20 million people, say
they would be inclined to cross the border illegally.
GARY HUFBAUER, INST. FOR INTERNATIONAL ECONOMICS: There's a huge gap there in
income, and, of course, America
seems like the promised land to poor Mexicans, but even to middle-income
Mexicans.
WIAN: In fact, the survey challenges the popular notion that only the poorest
Mexicans flee to the United
States. The desire to leave Mexico was
almost identical across income groups.
STEVEN CAMAROTA, CENTER FOR IMMIGRATION STUDIES: What the survey showed is that
educated and uneducated people both want to come to the United States, which is important, because it
suggests that immigration to the U.S. isn't just an act of
desperation. And it isn't motivated by just wage differentials. It's motivated
by lots of things.
WIAN: Including the desire to escape rampant corruption, inefficient
bureaucracy, and escalating violence, especially along the border. On that
front, Mexican President Vicente Fox reacted to the recent declarations of
states of emergency by the governors of New Mexico
and Arizona.
VICENTE FOX, MEXICAN PRESIDENT (through translator): My call to the United States
government, whether it's state or the federal government, instead of
criticizing we should make suggestions. Instead of working each side on their
own, we should work together. That's the only way we will be able to win.
WIAN: But a scheduled meeting Wednesday between Secretary of State Condoleezza
Rice and her Mexican counterpart was canceled.
SEAN MCCORMACK, STATE DEPT. SPOKESMAN: This was through mutual -- mutual
agreement. It had nothing to do with policy matters.
WIAN: Both the United States
and Mexico
say their relationship remains strong. Still, news this week that Mexico's economy
weakened in the second quarter is another blow to the Mexican people. And
another incentive to cross the border.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
WIAN: Now, Mexico's
economy is struggling, even though oil prices are at record highs. Instead of
tapping into its massive oil reserves, Mexico
has become increasingly dependent on money its citizens send home from the United States
-- Lou.
DOBBS: Increasingly dependent. Those remittances now their number one source of
capital from abroad, eclipsing their oil industry in Mexico, Casey. This is an
extraordinary...
WIAN: Approaching $20 billion.
DOBBS: I'm sorry?
WIAN: And approaching $20 billion a year.
DOBBS: And this is an extraordinary survey put out by the Pew Hispanic
Center. I don't know of
another example in which nearly half of the people of a country would say
they're willing to -- willing -- they're eager to leave their home of birth to
migrate. It's extraordinary.
WIAN: It really is. And it does not bode well for Mexico's
future, because overwhelmingly, the people who want to leave Mexico tend to
be younger. And they, you would think, would be the best hope for economic
turnaround in Mexico.
Vicente Fox ran as a reformer, and it's pretty clear he hasn't made much
progress in reforming his economy -- Lou.
DOBBS: He's reformed little. He is -- he focuses on U.S. policies and Mexican citizens
in this country, while ignoring the plight of just about 80 percent of his
population. The people of Mexico,
your heart has to go out to them. They're confronted with incompetent
government, corrupt government, and a failed economy when we thought it had so
much promise under NAFTA.
It's extraordinary, and it suggests the failure of our policies toward Mexico, which should be helping the working man
and woman in Mexico rather
than incentivizing illegal immigration for the exploitation by U.S. employers.
Thank you.
WIAN: And a lot of people say there's not much historical precedent for change
like that as needed in Mexico
to come from the outside. So people are suggesting that there's not much the U.S. can do, that it has to come from within Mexico -- Lou.
DOBBS: One certainly hopes, and one hopes soon. Casey, thank you. Casey Wian.
In Arizona
tonight, four Mexican illegal aliens are under arrest in a massive marijuana
bust. Agents say those illegal aliens were cultivating a three-mile-wide
marijuana growing operation in one of Arizona's
national forests. Agents have dug up thousands of plants so far. They say it
will take days for them to finish.
Police are searching for other suspects. Governor Napolitano of Arizona of course this week declaring a state of
emergency because of the immigration crisis and border security crisis along
the state's southern border with Mexico.
Today's quote of the day comes from Mexican government spokesman Ruben Aguilar.
He says more Mexicans should be allowed into the United
States to live and work because of a surge of drug gang
violence in Mexico.
He says, "The security situation should bring advances more quickly in a
migration accord, an accord that allows a legal flow, an orderly flow with
respect for human rights that assures the security of the United States as much
as Mexico."
An astounding piece of reasoning, an astounding request. Aguilar says, however,
Mexican national security is not threatened by rising drug gang violence along
our southern border. That, despite the fact that more than 800 Mexican citizens
have been killed in drug gang violence just this year.
A battle is brewing over illegal aliens who work as day laborers in communities
all around this country. Tonight, in Herndon,
Virginia, the town council holds
its second day of hearings on whether taxpayer dollars should be used to build
a day laborer center for illegal employees and workers. The issue has sparked a
fierce local and even national debate over whether that is an appropriate use
of taxpayer money. Imagine that.
Lisa Sylvester reports from Herndon,
Virginia.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CHRIS CORE, RADIO HOST: Bosses make the rules. I don't...
LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): WMAL 630 radio is tracking the
illegal immigration debate. When callers were asked to dial up Herndon's city
hall to discuss the proposed day labor center, there were so many calls it
jammed the switchboard. Radio host Chris Core says it's not just a small town
issue, it's a national concern, with many U.S. cities facing the same
problem.
CORE: This whole issue about Herndon is simply because the line has been drawn.
And, you know, it isn't Herndon in particular. I know there are lots of places
like this. It's just the fight is in Herndon.
SYLVESTER: The day laborer center would cost taxpayers $170,000, and the
primary beneficiaries would be transient workers, many of them illegal aliens.
The workers now gather outside a 7-Eleven store by the dozens, swarming any
vehicle looking to hire.
MAYOR MICHAEL O'REILLY, HERNDON, VIRGNIA: There's a national debate or issues
dealing with immigration, but we're just trying to take care of what we
consider to be a local problem.
SYLVESTER: Herndon residents say the public loitering is driving down property
values and raises safety concerns.
AUBREY STOKES, HERNDON AREA RESIDENT: The proposed site is located very close
to where I live. And there's very valid fear that a lot of pedestrian traffic
would be going through my neighborhood to get to the proposed site.
SYLVESTER: The issue has the attention of national groups, including Judicial
Watch. The organization is threatening to sue the town if the center is
approved.
FITTON: The taxpayers of Herndon are forced to subsidize the illegal hiring of
illegal workers through this plan. They'll be using public property and using
taxpayer funds. And Judicial Watch believes that's wrong.
It's also illegal. The town can't do that.
SYLVESTER: The town council heard from dozens of citizens at its hearing
Tuesday night. So many that the hearing was carried over for a day. With more
than 60 speakers still slated to give their opinions, Herndon officials are
looking at another very late night of debate.
Lisa Sylvester, CNN, Herndon,
Virginia.
