You bet they have documents———-

“Any citizen of age 18 or greater must go to an electoral office in order be registered into the electoral census. Citizens receive a voting card (credencial de elector con fotografía), issued by the Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) that must be shown to vote in any election. The voting card also serves as a national identity document.”

For the most part the U.S. casts a blind eye to illegal immigration because it needs cheap labor to compete globally and for the hospitality, food service, and agriculture industries.

Economic migrants are allowed to stay unless they violate criminal laws.

The social contract is that their children are given subsidized public education in return for citizenship if born in the U.S. Then they are given affirmative action sinecures.

This social contract — cheap labor in return for citizenship for children born in the U.S. and affirmative action jobs — is how the system works. And the U.S. needs the population growth and more children to support social security and Medicare programs.

Conservatives believe it is all illegal. But it is a quasi-legal system that is meant to prop up the economy and provide a population base that will pay into social support programs mainly for the elderly.

Especially in California there is a lack of children at the base of the population pyramid to support the elderly. The problem with this unofficial immigration system is that it produces a disproportionate number of non-intact dependent families that are a drain on welfare programs and do not contribute to economic productivity.

Economist Milton Friedman pointed out long ago that for the economy to work young adults needed to buy homes and take out mortgages and small business loans with funds borrowed from elderly retired persons. This creates an intergenerational economic cycle of support. The problem comes when there are not enough young adults from intact families who are buying homes and taking out loans.

Government policies to force place dependent families into housing ownership and loans — called the Mortgage Bubble — failed miserably and mostly ruined second generation immigrant families.

So conservatives are wrong to oppose immigration needed to prop up the base of the population pyramid; and liberals are wrong to believe they can social engineer second generation immigrant families into becoming economically productive through affirmative action policies and cheap money loans to buy housing. And the cheap money loans do not pay a sufficient rate of return to investments held by retirees.

Conservatives need to accept that immigration is a needed unofficial policy for economic growth. Liberals need to realize that social engineering and jobs programs will result in collapse of the economic system — ergo the Mortgage Meltdown which has led to municipal insolvencies.

Why they are leaving is open for debate but the evidence from my U-Haul research is very strong, the outflow is dramatic.
