How about setting up a new kind of "cultural exchange"? I've said it before and I'm gonna say it again. It's time we put and end to Mexico dumping their surplus labor problem on the US. I say it's time to get really tough and force the ineffectual government of Felipe Calderon to accept a new kind of trade agreement with the US. For every young, hardworking "illegal" they expect us to tolerate or give some kind of amnesty, they have to take one of our useless crotchety old retired folk down there... with full rights and priviledges equal to any Mexican citizen. You know full rights to purchase beach-front property, run businesses, political invovement including voting, running for office, and the whole shebang. The way I see it, we in the US will get a lot of young, hard working people to pay into Social Security and the like, and they will get all those crotchety folks out in Sun City who won't even support our local school bond elections. And what do the crotchety folks get? Well, they can enjoy a bargain rate retirement with access to beaches, golf and and cheap prescription drugs. Plus, if they can vote down there (and they always vote) they'll make some big changes in the way things are run in Mexico. Now that would be interesting!
