Mr. Valenzuela gives insight I value, even as seen through the crude translation of BabelFish.

PROJECT MIGRATOIRO..!YOU PLOWS OUT!

REFLECTIONS LIBERTARIAS
MIGRATORY PROJECT YOU PLOWS OUT?
Ricardo Valenzuela

The problems that have divided to Mexico and the EU are so many that to only enlist them would be titánica task. Nevertheless, but the recent one mutando made the extreme gravity, is the insurance abortion of "approved legislation" before considered a pump of time; the "illegal migrantes."

In order to know its gravity we must travel to the source where it is born and, special, to understand has become that powder magazine. In 1994, Mexico happened to form part of the TLC with EU and Canada when the politicians sold the idea to the town, like the route towards the paradise but being respected the monopolistic boundaries of the royalty. One soon went to take tibias and of incomplete measures with the security of which, as it affirmed to Lopez Opening to it, with petroleum we did not require of the extensive recommended surgery.

It forced Mexico to deactivate the agrarian reform and its subsidized agriculture. The land, being the great failure of the revolution, although at least did not generate the sufficient thing to feed the town, was source of use for million farmers who, accepting its misery, the blood united them to the Earth. That it was what happened? Prehistoric agriculture before the competition collapsed as castle of naipes.

Supposedly all it was part of the plan of Salt mines: To rescue the poor farmer to inlay it in that puzzle that offered the new economy armed of free trades and competition. But before the shipwreck of the plan, the first consequence was a massive migration of farmers without earth in search of the bread for its children. During last the 15 years, the migration of "illegal Mexican" to the EU had an increase of 400%.

Nevertheless, we cannot blame only to the serious EU of this problematic one. The reforms that Mexico required to be able to compete and to prosper in this new scene, courtesy of the emissaries of the past, were sabotaged returning it to the revolutionary period post. They tried to recover the power without concerning the price. Finally, their efforts gave fruit when, in December of 1994, they activated the devaluation that cost to the country 500.000 million dollars, sending the economy to an abyss bottomless creating more desperate people.

Before that Apocalypse, Mexico, in its pininos towards the development, presented/displayed a complicated picture. The universities, anticipating themselves to the paradisíaco arrival of the fiance', produced engineers in series soon to face the reality, unemployment. In front the recoil of the Mexican governments, EU initiated a process to establish the call virtual nation. They remained as the thinking head to take their manufactures to the rest of the body, settling down it in nations like China and India.

Nevertheless, a problem arises that very few identify. 30% of the population of the EU do not arrive at the 25 years of age, whereas in Mexico that number represents 60%. That is to say, the EU do not count on sufficient labor force for their necessities. They will continue maintaining its producing tentacles in China, India, Viet Nam? It is very improbable since those nations already follow the example of Japan when, with its people trained by the EU, they became the most ferocious competitors giving life to the Asian tigers.

When Fox was elect president, great expectations arose before the possibility of a society with Bush. But after the terrorist attacks of September 2001, Mexico had to register itself in waiting list for the solution of so urgent problems. Later, Fox, having damaged its relation with Bush, let run slow waters while the problems grew. Before a total disarticulation of the original plans that Saline negotiated and the apathy of Fox, the people, handled like bishops in that political chess, turned upside down to the street blaming to the EU.

But In where we were at the moment? The EU are prepared to construct a wall before their partner, when we observed the loaded product trucks to wait for revisions of hours or days. In the EU one struggles if the immigrants go away or they remain and, mainly, whatever costs to the EU that "big wave to him of people who, according to them, come in search of his free lunch"

The Mexicans do not want to come to the EU leaving families, their traditions, but before an inept government who does not establish the surroundings so that, an accelerated economic growth offers opportunities, they does not have left another alternative. When a China sucks people, technology, businesses and capital of the EU, the migrantes decide to suck they themselves towards the EU.

But we analyze "free lunch" that consumes hated the immigrant illegal. The annual taxes paid by they, in 1997 added almost 150 billion dollars. If we added the taxes paid by the businesses of its property, the amount would reach 180 billion dollars. "and they are data with 10 years of antiquity then mysteriously does not have recent."

The Social Insurance and the programs of health, every time depend more on the contributions done by the young immigrants. The excesses in their payments to the system of the Social Insurance on the received benefits, are considered reach 500 billion dollars in next the 25 years and near 2,0 trillones in next the 75. The payments of benefits before the retirement of the well-known population like baby boomers (1945-1960), will depend on the continuous flow of working immigrants who finance the systems of health and retirement for their retirement.

The fiscal impact of the immigrants is positive. That is, they pay more in taxes of which they use in social services during his lives. In present value, he is considered excessive that is located between the 20,000 and 80,000 dollars by person. The amount depends on the abilities and the level of education that they have.

We do not promote a massive invasion of the miserable layers that the revolutionary governments have created. All the opposite, Mexico must already collapse the barriers that do not allow their development and, of that form, the Mexicans we do not have to leave our earth.

Salt mines it used an impressive phrase: "We don't want aid, we want trade." We do not want aid, we want to deal. It gave life to the "Mexican miracle" of years 90 but soon sabotaged. If somebody analyzes the history of that decade, account will occur of which Mexico yes is able to create those miracles. But only we will be able to reactivate constructing it to bridges and nonwalls. Ah, also as somebody wisely commented days ago, when both countries come to deport their inept Congresses!

But an inescapable conclusion of the fiscal impact of the new immigrants exists: they are not a cost; they arrive with their bread under the arm, work and pay!
