... but one of their favorite issues is literally fleeing the country. And, given that they've contributed so much to our economy and gotten so little in return, can you blame them?
Maybe the real question is this: with Mexico's economy growing, will they come back when we need them? Then again, why would they want to?
One day, the world is going to have us over a barrel when it comes to the immigration issue. We'll need younger workers to support our rapidly aging population (especially the Boomer cohort). And they'll be saying "On the whole, I'd rather be in Canada." Or someplace else that's smart enough to open its doors to them.
Thanks to "free-market" economic policies and tight immigration policies, money moves around the world at the speed of light, and people are trapped behind borders, which are now simply tools to exploit the suffering of the working class and the poor. Hopefully, one day, they'll wake up, as Marx encouraged them to do, and do something about it.
