Appended Interesting Imprimis issue discussing the 14th Amendment and how "birthright citizenship" to children born in the U.S. to illegal aliens has been grossly misconstrued by the modern government came with this gem vindicating what is said in the post below. Excuse any typos, I don't have time to fix them, emphasis mine:

"Mexican President Felipe Calderon was in California recently pushing for more liveral immigration policies. He assured his fellow citizens who reside in the U.S. that he is "actively working to defend their human rights." "No matter their immigration status," Calderon said, "They are human beings with dignity and rights that should be respected. We are working, with the full effort of the [Mexican ] government, to bring a halt to the campaigns that harass migrants." However much Calderon may be worried about the human rightgs of his fellow citizens, he is fully cognizant of the fact that Mexico's economy depends on the remittances of its citizens working abroad. These remittances have become Mixico's second largest source of revenue, trailing only its rapidly declingin oil revenues. It is far easier-- and politically safer-- for Mixico to export its poverty than to reform its own plitical and economic system."  ¶ 8:20 PM
