I stand corrected, hehehe, that map is dated to be around 1800's and I was looking at the date but somehow I still managed to type "a century" instead of two centuries--which for some might be too old but considering "world history" I don't see it as that distant--maybe in relation to USA history it is. It was an honest but fatal mistake.
Friendindeed, just to let you know Wikipedia is considered to be as accurate as Britannica in terms of scientific matters, so please don't discredit it as just another source on the internet. True, it is not always reliable but it is pretty accurate overall.
Also, please excuse me if it seemed as though I implied you were still in high school (which looking back now, that's what it looks like), that was not my intention.
I already stated that my solution would be based on a simple economic principle-supply and demand--if you prevent businesses from employing the "illegals" then most will not come here. Again, this will not happen anytime soon (until we have some machines to replace them) because we need their labor to maintain our economy--it happens elsewhere in the world not just here.
Lilly, I am very aware that many problems prevail in Mexico itself and that many immigrants from bordering states struggle a great deal to get into Mexico, yet alone the USA. They often try to pass off as Mexicans and go through much hardship. I never said Mexico was not at fault—in fact just look at the Zapatista movement. I think the fact that there is so much wrong with Mexico itself strengthens my point.
15 Million? I have yet to meet someone who wasn't an American that honestly thinks that was a fair “trade” (even when adjusting the value of the currency).
One misc. point I would like to make is that I don't see a problem with providing translations for as many languages as we possibly can--besides I believe this will soon be a reality since AI technology will make this feasible quite soon.
I am looking forward to checking out that website you have mentioned Lilly.
