(Grant participated in the Mexican War as an army supply officer several years after graduating from the United States Military Academy, West Point, N.Y. - Q.) TOPICAL Mexican Wave By Stephen Haber _The Wall Street Journal_ May 3, 2006 What policy should America adopt toward illegal immigrants from Mexico? One view is that they drive down the wages of American workers, burden taxpayers and undermine the integrity of American culture. That view is embodied in the recent immigration bill passed by the House of Representatives: It seeks to seal off the border and treat immigrants who are already here as felons. A second view is that Mexican immigrants increase the competitiveness of the U.S. economy. That view is embodied in draft legislation in the Senate that would make it possible for illegal immigrants who have been in the U.S. for more than five years to obtain a visa and eventually citizenship provided they learn English. The Senate bill also contains provisions for workers who have been here for less than five years to either obtain a green card or become a guest worker, after they return to Mexico and make the necessary applications. Any serious attempt at reform needs to take account of facts regarding illegal immigrants that are often given a back seat to ideology by partisans on either side of the debate. Any serious attempt at immigration reform also needs to take account of facts about Mexico's fragile economy and democracy facts that both sides in the debate have tended to miss entirely. Indeed, most discussion about immigration reform implicitly assumes that its effects stop at the border. The truth is that our immigration policy is more consequential for what happens to Mexico's political and social stability than it is for America's economy or cultural integrity. Those who favor a "soft line" on Mexican immigration often simultaneously argue that Mexican workers make American industry more internationally competitive and that Mexican workers do not reduce the wages of U.S.-born workers. Both statements could simultaneously be true if Mexican immigrants included large numbers of highly educated electrical engineers and molecular biologists who had a tremendously positive effect on American total factor productivity. But Mexican immigrants tend to have very low levels of education by U.S. standards; they also tend to cluster in industries that produce goods that do not enter into international trade, such as restaurant meals, home construction, landscaping and janitorial services. The overall effect of Mexican immigration on the U.S. economy is trivial almost certainly less than one-tenth of 1% of GDP. Moreover, to the degree that Mexican immigration makes some industries more internationally competitive, it does so by reducing the wages of the U.S.-born workers in those industries. The reduction is not trivial. Careful research done by Harvard's George Borjas indicates that Mexican immigration has caused a 7% decline in the wages of U.S.-born high school dropouts, and a 1% decline in the wages of workers with only a high school diploma. Score one for the hard-liners on immigration. Hard-liners, however, have it wrong about the social and cultural impact of immigration on the U.S. They tend to look at recent immigrants and decry their low levels of education, difficulties with the English language, and propensity to choose marriage partners from their own immigrant group. They tend to ignore that every other large-scale immigrant group in the history of the U.S. Poles, Italians, Irish, Eastern European Jews had many of the exact same social and cultural characteristics. The impact of immigration on American culture is not determined by what immigrants do, but by what their children and grandchildren do. Here the evidence is unambiguous: The children and grandchildren of Mexican immigrants assimilate and move up the income ladder. Meticulous research by James Smith at Rand demonstrates that second- and third-generation Mexican-Americans quickly overcome the educational deficit faced by their immigrant parents and grandparents. As a result, they do not constitute a permanent economic underclass; they have been steadily narrowing the income gap with native-born whites. Nor do they constitute a social and cultural group independent of mainstream America. The reason is clear: 80% of third-generation Mexican-Americans cannot speak Spanish. Score one for the soft-liners on immigration. Both sides in the immigration debate have it wrong, however, when it comes to one core assumption that Mexican immigration is only a domestic policy issue. What we choose to do will have serious ramifications for Mexico. To understand why, we need to take into account that the large-scale immigration of Mexicans to the U.S. is a recent phenomenon. Until the 1980s, Mexicans migrated to the U.S. at very modest rates on the order of 50,000 people per year. In the 1980s it surged to roughly 200,000 people per year, and in the 1990s it went through the roof, averaging 500,000 people per year. The reason is that the Mexican economy collapsed in the early 1980s, and since then Mexico's per capita GDP, adjusted for inflation, has grown at a staggeringly slow 0.7% per year, less than one-third the U.S. rate. There is little reason to think that the Mexican economy will recover any time soon. Indeed, all of the fundamentals, most particularly the preference of foreign multinational companies to site new facilities in China instead of in Mexico, point toward continued slow growth. What would happen to Mexico if we were to suddenly cut off the escape valve provided by immigration to the U.S.? Unemployment and underemployment, already major problems, would increase dramatically. Remissions from immigrants, which total some $18 billion per year and are the lifeblood of many rural communities, would dry up. The widespread frustration felt by the population caught between rising crime and diminished economic expectations which fuels the populist presidential campaign of Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador would almost certainly become more acute. There is no scenario in which these developments would be positive for Mexican political and social stability. And there is no scenario in which a politically and socially unstable Mexico is in the interest of the U.S..

If we finally fail in this great and glorious contest, it will be by bewildering ourselves in groping for the middle way. --John Adams (17351826) First VP and second President of the United States. Letter to Gen. Horatio Gates [23 March 1776], quoted in _John Adams_ by David McCollough. We know what happens to people who stay in the middle of the road. They get run over. --Aneurin Bevan (18971960) British Labour politician. In _Observer_ [9 December 1953]. Things are not all black and white. There have to be compromises. The middle of the road is all of the usable surface. The extremes, right and left, are in the gutters. --Dwight D.

Heaven save us from poltroons who fear to make a choice. --Robert Heinlein (19071988) American science-fiction writer. _Double Star_ [1956] There's nothing in the middle of the road but yellow lines and dead armadillos. --Jim Hightower American politician You will be safest in the middle. --Ovid [Publius Ovidius Naso] (43 B.C.18 A.D.) Roman poet. _Metamorphoses_ There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil. The man who is wrong still retains some respect for truth, if only by accepting the responsibility of choice. But the man in the middle is the knave who blanks out the truth in order to pretend that no choice or values exist, who is willing to sit out the course of any battle, willing to cash in on the blood of the innocent or to crawl on his belly to the guilty, who dispenses justice by condemning both the robber and the robbed to jail, who solves conflicts by ordering the thinker and the fool to meet each other halfway. In any compromise between food and poison, it is only death that can win. In any compromise between good and evil, it is only evil that can profit. ... When men reduce their virtues to the approximate, then evil acquires the force of an absolute. --Ayn Rand (19051982) Russian-born American writer. _Atlas Shrugged_ [1957] Standing in the middle of the road is very dangerous; you get knocked down by traffic from both sides. --Margaret Thatcher (1925 ) British conservative stateswoman and Prime Minister [19791990]. . . see "AGE" for related links Grow up as soon as you can. It pays. The only time you really live fully is from thirty to sixty. The young are slaves to dreams; the old, servants of regrets.

[15 February 1954] I think middle age is the best time, if we can escape the fatty degeneration of the conscience which sets in at about fifty. --William Ralph Inge (18601954) English writer and Dean of St. Paul's [19111934]. In "Observer" [8 June 1930]. At fifty, the madwoman in the attic breaks loose, stomps down the stairs, and sets fire to the house. She won't be imprisoned anymore. --Erica Jong (1942 ) American novelist. All one's life as a young woman one is on show, a focus of attention, people notice you. You set yourself up to be noticed and admired. And then, not expecting it, you become middle-aged and anonymous. No one notices you. You achieve a wonderful freedom. It is a positive thing. You can move about, unnoticed and invisible. --Doris Lessing (1919 ) Iranian-born novelist. At forty-five, What next, what next?

Talk the royal family into ceding at least part of its authority; support the reform- minded princes; set up a model parliament; co-opt the firebrands with a cabinet position or two, a minor political party, and some outright bribery; send Jimmy Carter in to monitor the first election; and in a few generations Riyadh will be Ankara, maybe even London. The governmental mechanism may be faulty, the Washington view maintains, but the people who administer the government are for the most part committed to rooting out corruption, rounding up terrorists, and recognizing the right of the people to self- government. It's utter nonsense, of course. If an election were held in Saudi Arabia today, if anyone who wanted to could run for the office of president, and if people could vote their hearts without fear of having their heads cut off afterward in Chop-Chop Square, Osama bin Laden would be elected in a landslide not because the Saudi people want to wash their hands in the blood of the dead of September 11, but simply because bin Laden has dared to do what even the mighty United States of America won't do: stand up to the thieves who rule the country. Saudi Arabia today is a mess, and it is our mess. We made it the private storage tank for our oil reserves. We reaped the benefits of a steady petroleum supply at a discounted price, and we grabbed at every available Saudi petrodollar. We taught the Saudis exactly what was expected of them. We cannot walk away morally from the consequences of this behavior and we *really* can't walk away economically. So we crow about democracy and talk about someday weaning ourselves from our dependence on foreign oil, despite the fact that as long as America has been dependent on foreign oil there has never been an honest, sustained effort at the senior governmental level to reduce long-term U.S. petroleum consumption. Not all the wishing in the world will change the basic reality of the situation. * Saudi Arabia controls the largest share of the world's oil and serves as the market regulator for the global petroleum industry. * No country consumes more oil, and is more dependent on Saudi oil, than the United States. * The United States and the rest of the industrialized world are therefore absolutely dependent on Saudi Arabia's oil reserves, and will be for decades to come. * If the Saudi oil spigot is shut off, by terrorism or by political revolution, the effect on the global economy, and particularly on the economy of the United States, will be devastating. * Saudi oil is controlled by an increasingly bankrupt, criminal, dysfunctional, and out-of-touch royal family that is hated by the people it rules and by the nations that surround its kingdom. Signs of impending disaster are everywhere, but the House of Saud has chosen to pray that the moment of reckoning will not come soon and the United States has chosen to look away. So nothing changes: the royal family continues to exhaust the Saudi treasury, buying more and more arms and funneling more and more "charity" money to the jihadists, all in a desperate and self-destructive effort to protect itself. The fact is that the West, especially the United States, has left the Saudis little choice. Leading US. corporations hire and rehire known Saudi crooks and known financiers of terrorism to represent their interests, so that they can land the deals that will pay the commissions back in Saudi Arabia commissions that will further erode the budget and thus further divide the ruling class from everyone else. Former CIA directors serve on boards whose members have to hold their noses to cut deals with Saudi companies because that's business, that's the price of entry, that's the way it's done. Ex-Presidents, former prime ministers, onetime senators and congressmen, and Cabinet members walk around with their hands out, acting as if they're doing something else but rarely slowing down, because most of them know it's an endgame too. But sometime soon, one way or another, the House of Saud is coming down. --Robert Baer, _The Atlantic Monthly_ [May 2003] Robert Baer served for twenty-one years with the CIA, primarily as a field officer in the Middle East. He resigned from the Agency in 1997 and was awarded its Career Intelligence Medal in 1998. This article is adapted from the forthcoming book Sleeping With the Devil (Crown Publishers), to be published in June. - All our defence requirements in the Middle East ... demand that an essential feature of our policy should be to retain the cooperation of the Arab States, and to ensure that the Arab world does not gravitate towards the Russians ... We cannot stress too strongly the importance of Middle East oil resources to us both in peace and war. --British chiefs of staff memorandum [10 July 1946]; in William Roger Louis and Robert W. Stookey (eds.) _The End of the Palestine Mandate_ [1986] pp.13-14. What above all distinguishes the Arabs from the peoples of the New World is that through the roughness of the former one can still see something of delicacy in their manners and customs: one feels that they were born in this East from which came all the arts, all the sciences, all the religions...In a word, in the Americans, everything proclaims the savage who has not yet reached the level of civilization; in the Arab, everything shows the civilized man who has relapsed into savagery. --Franηois-Renι de Chateaubriand (17681848) French writer and diplomat. _Itinιraire de Paris ΰ Jιrusalem_ It should by now be clear that we are facing a mood and a movement far transcending the level of issues and policies and the governments that pursue them. This is no less than a clash of civilizations the perhaps irrational but surely historic reaction of an ancient rival against our Judaeo-Christian heritage, our secular present, and the worldwide expansion of both. It is crucially important that we on our side should not be pushed into an equally historic but also equally irrational reaction against that rival. --Bernard Lewis (1916 ) British-born American professor and Middle-Eastern scholar. "The Roots of Muslim Rage" _Atlantic Monthly_ v. 266 [September 1990] p.60. - According to the 2000 U.S. census, there are about 1.2 million Americans of Arab descent a population roughly equal to that of Czech-Americans. Partly because they are relatively few in number, Arabs haven't put much effort into advancing their rights in the U.S. for most of the past century. A surprisingly diverse group more Christian than Muslim, and hailing from different races and nations their interests as a people also seemed rarely to coincide. Like "Hispanic" or "Latino," the designation "Arab" is not a racial term, but a linguistic one. Arabs are those from more than two dozen Arabic-speaking countries that stretch from the Atlantic Coast of Africa across the Sahara to Egypt and the Arabian Peninsula, whose racial make-up runs from black African to Semitic to Caucasian. Nor is "Arab" a religious group; most Arab-Americans worship in Catholic and Protestant churches. This is because since the 1950s, most Muslim Arabs who chose to leave home tended to emigrate to the oil-rich Islamic monarchies of the Persian Gulf, while Christian Arabs, who still are likely to be discriminated against in places like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, usually journeyed west, to America. In recent years, that has started to change. Jobs aren't as plentiful in the Gulf kingdoms, and more Muslims are coming here. Even so, today only 24% of Arab-Americans are Muslims the highest proportion of non-Christians the community has ever had. --Joel Millman in _The Wall Street Journal_ [14 November 2005]. - - . . . The most conspicuous reality in the Middle East [is] that the Islamic world long ago fell out of history. Islamic extremism is the saber-rattling of an inferiority complex. America has done a good thing in launching democracy as a new ideal in this region. Here is the possibility if still quite remote for the Islamic world to seek power through contribution rather than through menace. --Shelby Steele _The Wall Street Journal_ [22 August 2006] - THE MIDDLE EAST ----- kilim (noun) Pileless Middle Eastern rug: a Middle Eastern rug with richly colored geometric patterns, woven like tapestry, with no pile. ;void(0)) MIDWEST . . see "PLACES" for related links Almost on crossing the Ohio line it seemed to me that people were more open and more outgoing.
