There's no reason at all why the same shouldn't work with the US/Mexico pressure.
Spot, what happens when the US becomes saturated? And it will. We may have some people moving out but we would have far more coming in. What happens when our welfare becomes even more scarce- and please don't tell me the Mexicans will take all the buck-an-hour jobs that we don't want; that doesn't wash. What happens when we use up our pristine lands to build more stinking housing for all these new "citizens?" What do we do with the new crime element? Build more prisons that suck up more tax money? Do we continue to overcrowd our schools and provide lesser education to all because we must benefit the some?

if all border controls were relaxed and any one could live anywhere where do you guys think most people would end up
i'm happy right here and if i ever did move any where it would be to Cyprus with suzy :-6
where would you fg;ers move to if you could go anywhere
I think the US would be awash in Mexicans to start with. I don't know where Americans would move to; I would stay here, perhaps move to a cooler state. It's my home.

You can go to prison for taking that right away from someone directly. It is the main form of punishment in the world to take that right away. And apparently people die trying to assert it... like the woman this thread is about.
Says who? Where is it designated as a key human right? Where is this list? Is protecting one's own and one's homeland not also a key human right, Koan? Shouldn't it be? This woman knew exactly what she was doing when she hopped those rabbit holes with her coyote. She knew it was wrong or at the very least illegal yet she did it anyway. She bought her ticket, she took her chances.
Out of curiosity, do any of you who live outside the US feel poorly for the people living under bushes in our country? The box people? The undergrounders? The old people eating cat food because they can't afford groceries, *and* heat in the winter? The kids who go to school with an empty stomach and can't concentrate on their work because they're freaking hungry?! The people who are sick and even dying because they cannot afford the medication they need and they can't afford insurance either? Or are you all sold that this is the land of plenty for everyone?
I used to live in Oldham. I liked Oldham. Mind you, I lived in Moss Side too and I liked that as well. I'll settle for Edenfield, how's that - plenty of hill walking round there down Bury way.
