Below is an un-edited letter recieved here today.

It needs no commentary.

I read you article and agree in one topic, immigration towards the US is not unemployed related. I am part of the so called, elite, in Mexico and currently live in London working in banking. Nevertheless, I must tell you that whenever I see my friends back in Mexico, we are glad of immigration because of historical reasons, we believe that land (from California to Texas) still belongs to us, and since we are have no political and military power, a cultural invasion has been the solution. In all honesty I feel very happy when I go to Texas or LA and speak only Spanish. On another context, the Mexican government will never diminish immigration since it is reflected in one third of its yearly budget. I hope these comments are helpful for you.

Regards

J Garza
