The Mexican Government Begins to Own Up

thisainthell alerts us to an amazing story in which the Mexican government actually admits the following facts, based on the results of recent studies.1.) 68 percent of Mexicans who migrate or try to migrate to the United States do so without documents and 55 percent of them hire immigrant smugglers.
2.) The Mexican-born population living in the United States increased from about 800,000 in 1970 to more than 11 million in 2006. 3.) The majority of Mexicans now living in the United States — 6.2 million — are undocumented, according to the report, which was based on surveys of migrants and information from the government's National Population Council. 4.)Almost 30 million people in the United States are direct descendants of Mexico migrants.

Now that they've owned up, they've got to do something about it.
