Immigration correlation
To the editor -- Born and raised in the Midwest, and having lived in Mexico for much of the last three years, I am new to Yakima. When I read the angry comments about immigration on the editorial page, and saw so little non-Latino support at the May 1 rally, I felt sad. I have seen the painful effects of migration in the small communities in Mexico. From my experience I can say that illegal migration to the United States is not for the faint of heart. People risk their lives and leave their families for years at a time. They do this because survival of many Mexican families depends on the income sent from workers in the United States. Most loving, responsible adults would make similar sacrifices for their families, no matter what their nationality.

Public opinion polls continue to show that a strong majority of Americans want their elected officials to crack down on illegal immigration. Furthermore, states are pushing ahead various proposals - such as requiring employers to use an E-Verify system to assure that workers they hire are in the United States legally. Yet a new study suggests that the illegal immigration situation continues to subside based on changing cultural attitudes in Mexico and a stagnant economy in the United States.
Echoing results from Princeton University's Mexican Migration Project, the New York Times reports that "[t]he extraordinary Mexican migration that delivered millions of illegal immigrants to the United States over the past 30 years has sputtered to a trickle.

If the press reports this sort of thing, it is framed as part of the War on Drugs that must be won. These stories are fables at best. There is no serious War on Drugs. Rather, there is violence, nourished by the money to be made from drugs. And there are U.S. industries whose lifeblood comes from fighting a war on drugs. The Department of Homeland Security, for example, has 225,000 employees and a budget of $42 billion, part of which is aimed at making America safe from Mexico and Mexicans. Narcotics officers in the United States cost at least $40 billion a year. The world's largest prison industry would collapse without the intake of drug convicts, and, in recent years, of illegal Mexican migrants.

The United States is essentially a country of immigrants; however, current United States immigration policy fails to adequately safeguard the rights of certain immigrant groups. Our nation's views toward immigration have changed considerably over the decades. Today, there is a marked focus both in the political arena and in general public discourse on the problems caused by illegal immigration from Central and South America, and in particular from Mexico, to the United States. In July 2003, Arizona Representatives Jim Kolbe and Jeff Flake, and Arizona Senator John McCain, introduced into Congress the Border security and Immigration Improvement Act. The bill's main proposal is to establish two new categories of non-immigrant work visas. This Note will analyze the likely effectiveness of ...
