Pew Poll of Mexicans: Bush's guest worker plan could bring in 56 million Mexicans!

The Pew Hispanic Center has sponsored two polls in Mexico this year on desire to immigrate to America. The results are eye-opening. When asked if they would be inclined to go to work legally in the U.S. in a temporary worker program, 52% of Mexicans in February and 54% in May said "Yes." With 106 million people in Mexico, this translates to 56 million people (assuming they bring their underage dependents, which the Bush plan would allow).

Unfortunately, Pew didn't ask how many would stay on illegally in America after their time ran out.

As for the U.S. running out of Mexican illegal immigrants, as Bush pollster Matthew Dowd claimed would happen in his recent New York Times op-ed, 21% of Mexicans said in both Pew polls that they would be inclined to go work and live in the United States without authorization. That's 22 million people. (And about twice as many Mexicans would be inclined to emigrate to America if they could do it legally.)

Robert Suro of the Pew Hispanic Center noted:

In other words, about one of every eight adults born in Mexico now lives in the United States. In the PHC surveys, 46% of Mexican adults in February and 37% in May said they have a relative living or working in the United States. Those Mexicans who have already migrated serve as a draw for future migration. Respondents with family members here were more likely to say they would migrate if they could (52% in February and 54% in May) than those who do not have relatives in the United States (33% and 40%).

Folks are always busy with work almost every [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffany[/URL][/B] day. Someone complain that life is just like a live clock. The outdoor [B]tiffany jewelry[/B] shopping changes into shop online, cooking the green food turns into buying cooked food directly. In this [B]tiffany jewelry[/B] way, it can really save a lot of time for people worldwide.

When it comes to the great festivals [U]tiffany[/U] and holidays, a hot discussion is usually held about which is the best gift for [U][B]pandora bangles[/U][/B] the beloved ones and the relatives for expressing their thankfulness. Different time will focus on some special [U]tiffany pendants[/U] fashionable gifts exclusively. From my own perspective, Tiffany Jewelry [B][URL=http://www.etiffanystore.com]tiffanyjewelry[/URL][/B] is always the best gift for any grand festival.

It is reported that almost everybody realizes that [U]pandora jewellery[/U] blue could be the best token color of elegant and time-honored Tiffany [B]pandora jewelry[/B] diamond jewelry for your beloved ones. Then you must be quite excited to get a piece of distinctively fashion [B]tiffany bracelets[/B] jewelry pieces to show your high grade taste.

Sometimes, you happen to be compelled to give up your sense of fashion, and [U][B]tiffany[/U][/B] only to purchase whatever you have discovered anywhere you have met. It's necessary that you [U][B]pandora bangles[/U][/B] are using exactly the same jewelry ensemble. It is really [B]tiffany engagement rings[/B] embarrassing at that time. After all, no one wants to [B]tiffany co[/B] be like this.

Even so, if that unique diamond jewelry does originate from Tiffany, situation [U]tiffany earrings[/U] will become entirely diverse. It is far from rare and unique, and once you [U]tiffany pendants[/U] discovered it, it could be the unique one exhibiting your style and model, which [B][URL=http://www.pandoraforyou.com]pandora beads[/URL][/B] means you will absolutely get into that kind of blue color jewelry.


Generally, most women will advise [U]tiffany necklaces[/U] you that you'll find the Tiffany jewelry an everlasting token. Millions of [U][B]pandora jewelry[/U][/B] women on the globe wear its theme diamond engagement ring plus [B]tiffany[/B] the signature bank silver charm bracelets. In this way, it is rather [B]tiffany rings[/B] a fashionable life style than a token. I believe every woman wants to be the most beautiful one in the [U][B]tiffany necklaces[/U][/B] world. You can realize this dream with a Tiffany ring or pendant.
