#1 It seems to me, that this is a short term gain, for a long term loss. With so many Mexicans living in the United States, it means that the US or evil corporations, can if they wish, impact who gets elected in Mexico.

#2 It's a gain for whoever is in power in Mexico. Remember, he who counts the ballots, wins. SEE: Washington State governors election.

#3 ...It provides for mail-in ballots for the estimated 11 million migrants...

NOT MIGRANTS. Illegals!!!

If you understand mail handling, foreign mail is consolidated at one or two central facilities to transfer internationally. If such facilities became contaminated requiring months of cleaning as had happen in DC, then those ballots would sit and wait till the place and contents were cleaned. This is the time for real US representative government to talk with the Mexican oligarchy. Ooops, it can go fast or go slow.

And long time overdue for 'naturalized' citizens to cough up their American citizenship if they vote in foreign elections. They swear an oath. Hold them to it.

#4 Some expatriates said the new system still excludes many potential voters â particularly undocumented immigrants in the United States who lack Mexico's voter registration card and are afraid to leave the country to get one.

That's okay. The Dems will let them vote in ours.

#7 Remember no illegals means higher prices, no one will be willing to pay 5 bucks for a head of lettuce, or 2 bucks for a lb of strawberries. China will step in and farmers will stop farming when they can't compete.

Hey, Sninese Sloluse9564, our lettuce costs more than 5 bucks a head now, genius, IF you factor the millions and millions of dollars paid for emergency health care, hosiptal, Drs. fees, labs, PT, dianostic tec.,prenatal care,etc. by tax payers. Munch that, the next time you graze on some lettuce.

Schooling costs, books,teachers, class rooms, teaching aids, buses/fuel,school insurance and all the overhead costs for teaching paid by taxpares. Oh yeah, strawberrys are cheap!

The police local state fed, courts local state fed, jail, prison state fed, probation costs, parole costs, public defenders costs,immigration lawyers , translators, and other immigration costs paid by tax payers. You're full of cheap turnips Sninese Sloluse9564.

>Drug cartels are able to exploit elements whithin the vast pool of illegals in our country and are thereby helped. heavy price for Americans! Add that to the 'cheap' tomatoes you like to eat.

It's kind of like slavery Sninese Sloluse9564. 1700-1860 the tobacco/cotton etc.

The farmer who was against having slaves, hardly had a choice, he would've had to keep his family biz small, because he could't compete aginst the big boys by hiring free labor.

I know this first hand in my construction biz. Yes, on occasion I've hired illegals, but up until about 10 years ago I held out. The millions of illegals in our country has a huge impact. It's very corrosive and costly. It dilutes our citizen status.

the impact list is much longer.

enjoy that cheap food over the 4th of July Sninese Sloluse9564! /not
