How Come Mexico Does Not Create A Stimulus Bailout Package To Create Jobs In Mex So Illegals Want Need To?
How come Mexico does not create a stimulus bailout package to create jobs in Mexico, so illegals will not need come here and illegals here can return home.Surely Mexico can afford a 300 billion stimulus bailout package,No ?
Answer:well to be honest I agree with one answer here, the fact that if it was possible all the money would be dispersed between the DRUG LORDS and the CORRUPT government that is there. And since all the corruption is being shared also with high officials like the chiefs of police,generals of their armies,and the list goes on and on and on.......That does not mean that something like that does not happen here in our Country as well....example the first 750 billion dollars, Were did all really go?? Seems like it was pretty much thrown in the back burner huh?? And to Dirty Martini ,mizzholloywood,joebob,ozman641...it is our every right to express our opinions by all means, but be sure you are exactly correct about your facts and not just shooting your mouths out. And you wonder why other countries look at us as the WHITE DEVILS!?!?!?!? OR AMERICAN INFIDELS?!?!?!? It seems it is true what my uncles said to me when I was younger..."don't blame your problems on others when you know it is your own fault" makes since..Proud to be an American people but let's get our facts all straight before we start looking for an escape goat.
How Do You Feel Mexico Is Ready To File A Complaint With The International Fences Damage Environment?
Mexico has urged the US to alter its plans for expanded fences along their shared border, saying they would damage the environment and harm wildlife.
The fences threaten unique ecosystems, Mexican environment officials warned.
Mexico was ready to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice over the matter if the US did not respond, the environment minister said.
The planned barriers aim to curb illegal immigration, a highly divisive and controversial issue in the US.
The fences, planned along a possible 700 miles (1,125km) of the border, are to be equipped with hi-tech surveillance equipment, including sensors and strong lights.
"The eventual construction of this barrier would place at risk the various ecosystems that we share," Mexico's Environment Minister Juan Rafael Elvira told a news conference.
Those areas include Baja California, Sonora and Arizona, home to one of the world's most important desert ecosystems - the Sonora Desert.
Cactus fences
Officials said Mexico was prepared to file a complaint with the International Court of Justice but wanted to explore alternatives first.
US Army personnel install sections of the US-Mexico border fence July 2007 near Puerto Palomas Mexico. Most of the illegal immigrants enter the US via the Mexico border
A report prepared for the Mexican government by experts and environmental activists from Mexico and the US said the barriers could isolate border animals into smaller groups, affecting their genetic diversity.
These include jaguars, Mexican black bears and the endangered antelope-like Sonora Pronghorn.
The use of intense lights and radar could also affect nocturnal species, they said.
The report suggested ways of minimising environmental damage, including "green corridors" of wilderness without roads.
These would allow wildlife to remain connected but not provide an easy route for people trying to cross.
Another proposal was "live" fences of cactuses, or permeable barriers to allow water, insects and pollen to cross the border.
The US Homeland Security Secretary, Michael Chertoff, has said that the fencing is needed. He has rejected arguments that the Rio Grande provides an adequate barrier as water levels in the river often drop, allowing people to wade across.
An estimated 12 million illegal immigrants are in the US, where attempts at a comprehensive overhaul of immigration law have repeatedly stalled in Congress.http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/6924475.stm
I’m sure the animals will adjust. The birds can fly over, the rodents and lizards can burrow under, and the rest of them will just have to make do with whatever piece of that desert they find themselves in after the fence is finished. They make it sound as if the poor things will need conjugal visits.
The fences threaten unique ecosystems,
Right. The mexican raw sewage deoes not “threaten unique ecosystems”
The hundreds of mexican trash piles in national forests located on the mexican border does not threaten unique ecosystems.
The foot trails that go through restricted wildlife areas do not threaten unique ecosystems
The border industries that have little to no pollution control do not threaten unique ecosystems.
I bet our fellow Americans can post photos of various Mexican items not threatening unique ecosystems.
But, of course, a stainless steel/galvanized steel professionally installed fencing system will cause immediate, extensive, catastrophic, irreversible harm to those very same unique ecosystems
It couldn’t be as harmful as hundreds of thousands of people throwing trash everywhere and stomping down fragile vegetation.
Answer:Their abuse of our eco system really bothers me a lot. Have you seen the videos and such? I was so appalled at the sight, they were saying how much it stank! I don't think they have any regard for our eco system. I'd be happy to bring in the photos and videos as evidence for the Mexican government! This may be my pet peeve!

How Is The Spanish Of Northern Mexico Different From The Spanish Of The Rest Of The Country?
I am planning to visit northern Mexico later this year and am learning the Mexican dialect of Spanish for that reason. Can someone tell me what are the main differences between the Spanish of northern Mexico (e.g., Monterrey) and the Spanish spoken in the rest of Mexico?
Also, I have come across the following words for "boy" in Spanish:
Muchaho
Chamaco
Chavo
Chico
Nino
What I want to know is, which of the above words is the most commonly used in Monterrey or northern Mexico?
Answer:To speak like a "regio" you have to be in monterrey. It's like me. If i want to speak like a Yankee.. i should got to NY. Ive been learning english from my southern folks from Arkansas.
Main differences:
We speak better, we are better, we are smarter than the rest of the "chilangos". No just kiddin.. different accent, some word are used different.
You are looking for slang sort of things... in my opinion.. when you are just starting to learn a language... that's the last part you should be looking at. Anyways, ill sent you a good source of mexican-slang.
Iam a Regio... Drop me a msg any time if you want to practice.
