I don't know what the law even was, all I know is that Mexican immigrants should not get special treatment simply because their country is right next door. There are millions of people all around the world who want to come to this country and they wait their turn and obey our laws.

Actually, for the 85,000 work visa quota for 2010, the demand wasn't all that overwhelming. There weren't "millions" waiting to come to this country to work; in fact, the quotas, which once filled up within days of the application date of April 1st, wasn't reached until Dec. 2009.

The Mexican immigrants aren't coming here as much either. According to the Pew Hispanic Center, between 2005 and 2008, the number of Mexican migrants arriving in the United States actually declined by 40 percent. The jobs they're taking aren't exactly on the list of "skilled" occupations, so they don't qualify for the H1-B work visas anyway. Oh, and the law they're breaking -- coming into this country illegally -- is a misdemeanor.
