CATCHING UP ON OUR AMIGOS!(means friends)

The San Francisco Chronicle detailed some of the numbers for the Hispanic invasion in its Sunday edition. OK ... so the SF Chronicle is a bit too liberal and politically correct to actually call this invasion an invasion, but the numbers are interesting nonetheless. Here are some tidbits:

* Ten percent of Mexicans now live in the United States.
* Fifteen percent of the Mexican workforce lives in the U.S.
* One in every 7 Mexican workers "migrates" to the U.S.
* Mexicans make up 56% of what the Chronicle refers to as the "unauthorized U.S. migrant population." I'll translate: Mexicans make up 56% of illegal aliens in the U.S.
* There are some Mexican communities that have almost no workers left. They've gone to the U.S.
* Mexicans in the U.S. send about $20 billion a year back to their homes in Mexico. This amount exceeds Mexico's income from all oil exports and is much higher than Mexico's revenue from tourism.
* The $20 billion that Mexicans send back home exceeds the entire foreign aid budget of the United States.
* In five Mexican states the money sent home by those who have invaded the United States exceeds total locally generated income.

Sounds like a rather successful invasion, don't you think? All this money flowing to Mexico from the United States surely does take the pressure off Mexican government officials to clean up their corrupt system and get on with the job of building a vibrant economy.
