(In a related article – Ann Coulter said that Mexicans bring their predilection for sex with young girls to America, citing the age of consent to be 12. Fred Reed, an American living in Mexico, called Coulter delusional, saying that no such age of consent law exists. Ohhhh, but Fred be wrong. – bfh)
Britain needs to introduce stricter immigration controls as further migration will weaken social cohesion, a government advisor has said.
Sir Paul Collier, an Oxford professor who advises the Department for International Development, said that migrants from poorer countries are bring their “dysfunctional cultures to developed countries” and called for them to retain links with their own countries so it would be easier for them to return home.
Sir Paul said: “I’m not advocating forced repatriation but there is a clearly a need…for some people to help build [their home] society.”
Speaking to Al Jazeera, Sir Paul said the question of whether immigration is good is a lot like asking whether food is good. “If you don’t eat food, you’re dead – but you can eat too much.”
The Oxford economics professor said that while he was not against immigration entirely, it must be controlled as too much diversity can be a bad thing for society:
That’s a welcome clarification/correction to “Fred On Everything’s” claim.
A US Border Patrol Agent catches an illegal immigrant in the bushes right by the border fence in Texas, he pulls him out and says “Sorry, you know the law, you’ve got to go back across the border right now.”
The Mexican man pleads with them, “No, noooo Senior, I must stay in de USA! Pleeeze!”
The Border Patrol Agent thinks to himself, I’m going to make it hard for him and says “Ok, I’ll let you stay if you can use 3 english words in a sentence.” The Mexican, of course, agrees.
The Border Patrol Agent tells him, “The 3 words are Green, Pink and Yellow…….Now use all them in 1 sentence.”
The Mexican man thinks really hard for about 2 minutes, then says, “Hmmm, Ok…… The phone, it went Green, Green, Green, I Pink it up and sez Yellow?”
Fred usually nails it but his piece on Mexico was off target-he lives in small town in Mexico and apparently doesn’t see a lot of what is readily apparent to the rest of us.
The eye of the hurricane can be disarmingly quiet.
So they don’t have a law that specifically states an “age of consent” and Mr Reed interprets that as there’s “no 12 year old age of consent?”
I’ve enjoyed Mr. Reed’s musings since back in the old days in DC, but this seems somewhat disingenuous.
Darn him, I hoping to propose that very same topic as a study desperately needing to be done to our extremely wealthy Federal government and get a grant worth multi-millions of dollars! now I will have to go back to the tiresome, but tried and true, studies like “why do Homosexuals get sore knees”?
Immigration (and citizenship) is NOT a right.
It is a privilege that should be doled out in a most niggardly fashion and ONLY for the obvious benefit of America.
It should only rarely be allowed for the benefit of the immigrant.
Why is the obvious so obscure to our political pustules?
“MIGRANTS BRING ‘DYSFUNCTIONAL CULTURES TO DEVELOPED COUNTRIES’”
Bull $#!t. Dysfunctional countries allow dysfunctional cultures to develop.
I’ve had the misfortune to do business along the border for quiet a while.
Many years ago I asked my American buyer at at MX plant what the legal age of consent was for women.
“You know, I asked a MX engineer the same thing when I got here”. His answer, “About 30 kg”.

Regarding the Mexicans don’t litter B.S.
I live just minutes from the border, east of El Paso along a fairly busy residential area road. I go out EVERY morning and pick up trash that was thrown out of cars in front of my house the night before. I can look up and down the street and see litter on both sides of the road.
Bear in mind, this is in a residential area. These folks are littering their own streets in their own neighborhood. Oh… Bud Light is the beer of choice, and food wise,.. it’s a toss up between Sonic or McDonalds.

There is a reason that people have defended their frontiers, since time immemorial. A GOOD fucking reason.
