2008 isn’t over, and already the number of unaccompanied minors crossing the border into the United States has passed the 10,000 mark.

More than 11,700 Mexican children and teenagers tried to cross the US border alone and were sent back to their native country in the first seven months of this year, Mexican migration officials said Wednesday.

Meanwhile ICE raids continue, people are dead, and John McCain and Barack Obama are pointing fingers.

05.douglas.ap.jpg Concerned about border security? My take on this story is that maybe the U.S. should worry less about fences and more about officer training.

On Sunday a trio of Mexican teens detained for drug smuggling broke free, stole a U.S. Border Patrol vehicle, and drove it to Mexico. Mexican authorities were able to relocate the vehicle without its temporary occupants who apparently have not been caught.
And how was the vehicle stolen in the first place?
“As the agent was doing his search, he left the vehicle running and the keys in the ignition, so one of the lads, still wearing handcuffs, grabbed the steering wheel and they headed back to Mexico,” a police spokesman said.

Funny and oh so sad at the same time. The car was recovered, the detainees were not.

So Why Do They Come Here?

So what if that wall along the Mexico/U.S. border got built, and undocumented migration amd residency wes criminalized and the U.S. government sent all the undocumented living here back where they came from? Everything would be great no? The immigration “problem” would be solved no? Well, um not really. At least not according to an article posted over at TomPaine.com.

Some 40 percent of the over 100 million people still living in Mexico say they would come to the United States if they had the opportunity.

While Mexico is obviously not the only place immigrants come from, it is the at the center of the debate. Whatever happened to that miracle plan that was going to improve the quality of life in Mexico, raise the standard of living and therefore decrease the numbers of immigrants coming from ther?
