I would also like to add to the question below posed by James:  i.e. "But
can someone explain to me why having them send money they have earned back
to Mexico is a bad thing?  I just don't get it."

By what right does anyone suggest that it is reasonable, equitable and
justified to tell anyone else what they can do, or can not do, with the
compensation they have received for their honest labor?

A man or woman is worth, at the very least, their own labor.  It is the
inherent property each of us is born with.  This is a fundamental principle
necessary to the existence of any free culture or society of humans.  Our
prosperity, as free individuals, is dependant upon this fundamental truth.

Here's a story that goes along with my old harangue about non-machine work
being superior to machine work.  I can very much endorse the sentiment of
the Mexicans here, I've go a donkey and you cannot ask for a more agreeable
and useful animal.

The story repeats the phenomenon of young Mexicans coming here to work and
sending the money back to the family farms in Mexico.  This has been often
cited as reason to not have the Mexicans here.  But can someone explain to
me why having them send money they have earned back to Mexico is a bad
thing?  I just don't get it.
