A better idea
Raul Lopez-Vargas offers an alternative solution to America's immigration woes that seems better in the long term than rounding up illegals and locking them up in internment camps.Lopez-Vargas, a Mexico City native, antropologist and legal immigrant, is training Latinos in entrepreneurial skills and democracy. The general idea being that if they can make Mexico a better place to live, they won't have to come here.
Lopez-Vargas tells the Tribune's Kathy McKitrick:
We look here for what we don't find there - democracy and the opportunity to participate in civic life.Lopez-Vargas helped in organizing "hometown clubs," community organizations for Mexicans living in Utah. He teaches entrepreneurship at South Salt Lake's Centro de la Familia.
We have to start thinking about solving undocumented immigration by helping with economic development in Mexico. Then, if our people have to go back, they can work there.Maybe Third District candidate Jason Chaffetz, a former multi-level marketer and would-be "tent camp" commander, could be a guest speaker in the business class.
Better yet, maybe Lopez-Vargas should gain citizenship and run* for Congress — he has more innovative ideas than putting economically desperate people behind razor wire.

Wait a minute! I thought we wantedLatinos to come here. Now you're saying you want them to stay in Mexico? Won't we be missing out on diversity if Latinos stay in their home countries instead of immigrating?
Wait another minute! I thought we needed Latino immigrants to do the work the rest of us aren't willing to do.
Lets see, we passed Nafta to help the economy of Mexico, and it made it worse. I think everyone would think that helping Mexico's economy would be great, except we have a $700 billion dollar problem here...
