Chalk up yet another accomplishment for our water lowering, land raising, hope and changing President. He solved our illegal immigration problem with Mexico. How'd he do it? Why, he harnessed the free market of course. Seems that if you drive OUR economy into the toilet, the incentive to swim/climb is diminished, and you stay where you are. No word yet on Mexico's protests of illegal American immigration....
The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

Finally, the law of unexpected consequences works in our favor.
Other factor consider
"The most significant demographic change in Mexico in recent decades has been the sharp and ongoing decline in birth rates. In 1960, the Mexican fertility rate was 7.3 children per woman.15 By 2009, that figure had dropped to 2.4—still a bit higher than the U.S. rate of 2.0 among all women (Pew Hispanic Center, 2011).
The declining birth rate in Mexico has led to a rise in the median age of its population. In 2010, the median age in Mexico was 26—still well below the figure for the U.S. that year (37), but well above the median age in Mexico in 1970, when it was just 17.
The rising median age in Mexico has meant that its 15- to 39-year-old age group—people in peak years for emigration—has declined as a share of the overall population. In 2010, 15- to 39-year-olds made up 65% of Mexico’s working-age population (defined as all adults between ages 15 and 64). In 1990, this age group comprised 73% of the working-age population.1"
You beat me to this one. Was so pleased when I heard the report on, of all places, All Things Considered, this weekend. Just didn't get to sit at my computer until tonight. He is courting the Hispanic vote, eh? And they're voting with their feet--to go back and risk their lives for a more promising economy in Mexico. Wow. Who would have thought someone with this President's experience and vision for this country would ever fail so miserably? Apparently only those who didn't vote for him. Now if he can only make things so bad that he gets those in Hollywood to vote with their feet, I might actually have something good to say about him.
Too little too late.
