The US Corporate Elite and Mexican Elite Both Profit at Home and Abroad by Keeping the US Immigration System Broken, AKA: IT'S LABOR AND PROFITS STUPIDS!
The rich get richer by keeping the American Immigration System Broken. Follow the money.
Who profits by hiring undocumented workers in the US?
These U.S. industries can't work without illegal immigrants - CBS News
Which US Corporations Profit by Having Manufacturing in Mexico? Don't you for one moment think that these corporations do not have lobbyists bribing US politicians to keep the decades old, broken immigration system remaining the same as it always has been (which affect their profit margins). They'll never have a border shutdown. The rich won't permit it.
For decades US manufacturers have been “nearshoring” manufacturing operations to Mexico. Some are drawn by the large market potential but for many it’s more a way to cut costs and remain competitive. Here’s a look at five well-known US companies in Mexico today.
By the way, do you know how large or trade with Mexico is?
Mexico Trade & Investment Summary
U.S. goods and services trade with Mexico totaled an estimated $855.1 billion in 2022. Exports were $362.0 billion; imports were $493.1 billion. The U.S. goods and services trade deficit with Mexico was $131.1 billion in 2022.
Any of today's Republican politicians spewing about the shutting down of the US/Mexican border are full of beans.
By the way, do you know how much money (remittances) Mexican undocumented home to their country each year?
Money sent home by Mexicans working abroad rose by 7.6% in 20r23, to reach a record $63 billion.
Doesn't that work out sweet for the filthy corrupt, filthy rich Mexican government and its narco-sponsors?
What is the cost to US taxpayers for illegal immigration?
How much money does the US send to Mexico and Central America in foreign aid each year?
The United States is providing nearly $200 million in additional humanitarian assistance through international organizations and NGO partners in Mexico and Central America, bringing our total humanitarian assistance for the region since FY 2018 to more than $594 million.
All of the above categories can be applied to any countries that have undocumented workers in the US. Think of Central American and South American Countries.
MY POINT, THE US MEDIA AND US POLITICIANS RARELY IF EVER INCLUDE THE ABOVE FACTORS WHEN SPEWING ABOUT "FIXING" OUR BROKEN IMMIGRATION SYSTEM.
I am a retired US Border Patrol/ICE senior special agent. I have witnessed this gaslighting of American Taxpayers for 26 years on the job, and another 19 years in retirement.
One political side wants to "let them in" and the other wants to "keep or kick them out". Both sides are a are a despicable charade.
The truth is that all countries involved (including the US) and their corporate sponsors profit by keeping our immigration nightmare just as it is; broken.
Shame on the corrupt, for-profit US and Mexican (and other) governments for contributing to the human suffering of not only the undocumented coming here, but the US taxpayers absorbing the costs of this ongoing nightmare.
For decades now, the greedy bi-national elite profit while we suffer the consequences of overcrowded schools, hometowns, hospital emergency rooms, unaffordable housing, and (in some cases), jobs lost to, and crime perpetrated by undocumented criminals.
If this damn government won't tell the truth about greed and suffering permitted by our own inadequate immigration systems and laws, this horrendous nightmare will in fact never end.
No matter how high they build the walls or how many agents the hire, nothing will stop hungry people from coming here until our own government demands that Mexico, or (fill in the blank) start providing for its own citizens.
For instance, we could set up work visa programs that WORK for all involved. That will cut into corporate profits and relieve some of the tax burdens of US taxpayers.
