Just a thought - if Mexicans and their businesses decided to boycott
the US (a.k.a. supplying cheap labor along with exporting cheap food and products to the US),

how bad off would the US be?

1. not as bad off as Mexico would be
the second largest source of income in Mexico is money sent home from ex-patriots, primarily in the US. Prices would soar here, but people would starve there.

2. The US wouldn't suffer near as bad as Mexico would, that's why............
....Vicente Fox is pressing so hard to help set immigration policy for this country - he knows his country would probably go under without the US.
