To Be Announced...

Oh, I know you're curious...and probably ready to be offended...but that's the name the women in Mexico have come up with. Not me.

See for yourself: Wetback Wives, Wetback Widows, Wetback Orphans of Tecapulco Mexico

And contrary to what many of the guilty white liberals would have you believe...it seems the women of Mexico do in fact want their families back together...but in Mexico, not the US:

Mexican wives want U.S. to return husbands

The women of Tecalpulco, Mexico, want the U.S. government to enforce its immigration laws because they want to force their husbands to come back home from working illegally in the United States.

They have created an English-language Web page where they identify themselves as the "wetback wives" and broadcast their pleas, both to their men and to the U.S. government.

"To the United States government -- close the border, send our men home to us, even if you must deport them (only treat them in a humane manner -- please do not hurt them)," it reads.

The website link above is in English mostly...

This runs counter to many who claim that it is our immigration policy that forces these families to remain apart. Usually, it's guilty white liberals who seem to be able to speak for them without actually listening to them...

No doubt you'll hear that in the coming days from those attending the Marshalltown Summit put on by that disgrace of a newspaper, the Marshalltown Times-Republican...especially considering their pre-summit sob piece published today (earlier blog post):

Times-Republican Publisher Mike Schlesinger, “This would also give those leaders a chance to hear from those who are directly impacted by the kind of ill-advised raids like was done here and what they hear could help formulate an immigration policy that would stop splitting families, provide workers for businesses and implement a procedure for workers who are here without proper documents to arrange for some type of retribution but still be able to obtain necessary documents through legal means that ultimately leads to citizenship.”

One of the best formulations of immigration policy that would stop splitting families - might be to send them home to their wives, eh? Do what the women of Mexico want.

In Mexico:

More than 10 million Mexican-born people, or nearly one out of every 10, was living in the United States in 2005. And as a percentage of the work force it's even higher: One in seven, or 14 percent, were here, according to the Migration Policy Institute. The institute said 77 percent of Mexican workers in the U.S. were younger than 45, and 70 percent were men.

Villages devoid of men between 20 and 50 are common in many parts of the country. The stories of single mothers struggling to raise their children are just as frequent.

Mexico is the third leading supplier of oil imports...and apparently workers. Which is why banks like Wells Fargo, Bank of America, and others are so willing to supply them with credit cards and home mortgages.

Yes, we get cheap labor...but Mexico gets the cash.

In 2006, Mexican workers in the United States sent $23 billion back to their families in Mexico, an amount that rivals Mexico's foreign income from oil sales.
