If there was more irrigation in Mexico, would there be less immigration to america?

I read a news story that says that something like 50% of Mexico's land is suitable for farming, but lacks water. Have you ever read anything about that/like that?

No-that is not the reason. There water is not being used wisely. They have enough land and water. They plant more crops that are water eaters (like wheat) than others that should be used. They waste it in their methods of irrigation, rain storage, dry farming, solar power and other ways. They need Establishing Precision Farming Education. Both Greed and corruption enters here into this too. Many poorer countries who have less land and water do much better. The people themselves do not demand better for the environment-they seem very lax in these issues and rarely protest.
It is sad that the people here protest so much but do nothing about very important issues that affect so many in their homeland. If not taken care--time will make more wasteland.
We too are harming our own here---not taking care of what we should. Time will tell on both. We have a bit more time on our side.

I need the telephone number for a nebraska irrigation company relocated in Mexico, I believe the name is JNS?

Did You See Mexico predicts immigration accord, calls border wall "useless" ?

Mexico once again shows us it has no shame and what a bunch of hypocrites they are over there.

MEXICO CITY (AP) -- President Vicente Fox's spokesman said Tuesday that an extended U.S. border fence was "useless and unworkable," and he predicted that the two countries would reach some form of immigration accord "sooner or later."

In a diplomatic note sent to the United States on Monday, Mexico harshly criticized a U.S. Senate vote authorizing 700 miles of new fencing along the border. The project will cost an estimated $1.2 billion.

It must be signed into law by President Bush, and Mexico is lobbying him to veto it.

Presidential spokesman Ruben Aguilar said Mexico still wants comprehensive immigration reform that would allow more people to migrate to the United States legally.
Aguilar said the border fence would affect the environment and ecology, and even the reproduction of some species.

But he said Mexico had no plans to file the kind of environmental lawsuit that was used to temporarily block another big U.S. border project, the lining of the All-American Canal, just north of the U.S.-Mexico border. The irrigation canal delivers Colorado River water to farms in California's Imperial Valley.

A 23-mile section of the canal has leaked river water into a groundwater aquifer shared with Mexico for decades, and plaintiffs in the case claimed that farmers and wildlife south of the border now depend on the seepage.

U.S. authorities want to line the earthen structure with concrete to save water. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in August ordered work on the canal to stop while an appeal is heard in a lawsuit aimed at blocking the project.

"For the moment, a measure like the one used in the case of the All-American Canal is not being contemplated," Aguilar said.
Lucky I'm not running for public office I'm not gonna curtail everything I say. If you can stand the heat get out of the country.Tell Mexico to act moral instead of being one of the most GOD FORSAKEN COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. PEOPLE LIKE YOU SUPPORT THOSE DONKEY SHOWS IT"S ALWAYS EVERYONE ELSES FAULT

Who the hell cares about what the Mexican president says? Obviously he shouldn't be payed any attention to seeing as how he is the one who sends them all over here in the first place.
