New American Pioneers: Why Are We Afraid of Mexican Immigrants?

There is nothing less rational than the entrenched American opposition to immigration, particularly from Mexico. Immigration is vital for America's future for many good reasons: Immigration keeps us young; helps protect our pension systems; keeps down inflation; improves our quality of life; And, immigration is the best anti-poverty program. 'We need to stop thinking with our prejudices and begin looking at our real self-interests. Let's remember that all but a handful of we Americans came from families that came from somewhere else!' -Dick Morris, Author and Fox News Channel Political Analyst. 'Juan Hernandez has written a brilliant new book which redefines for all of us what is means to be Americans.'-Rob Allyn, International Political Consultant. 'Juan: We will never find a way to think you enough for what you have one' especially for the poor, the unemployed, the migrants, the young.' -Vicente Fox, President of Mexico
