Mexicans smuggle Chinese aliens

In Washington Times, Feb 23, 2007 there was news about how illegal immigration recently increased. The officers of CBS, Custom and Border Protection, have reported of some Chinese arrested at Calexico, California, while they were helped by Mexican to pass the border. To continue the reporter has mentioned about the increasingly rate of illegal immigration by statistics in percents. According to authorities in Calexico, as port of entry, the CBS officers apprehended more than 1700 aliens in this city, 15 percent over the same period last year.
Analysis
The American Renaissance, as site seeks to have a special and biased view on colored people's issues in US, has cited the news and has asked for comments. Among these comments, some have argued radically on illegal immigration. One of them believes that all immigrants should be executed beside the roads where they are arrested, another one has resembled Mexicans as traitors and gives and an example in Casablanca, captain Renoir, who was bribed by people desired to go to America. But one of them has predicted that Mexicans should be stopped before they start to smuggle Muslim terrorists to America, as another comment rejects this idea and believes that terrorist do not need to be smuggled. One of comments also states that government and Bush personally is liar because some days ago, Michael Chertoff, had said that number of illegal immigrants had gone down.
Although, illegal immigration is one of the main challenges not only in US but also in Iran as well, but it is seemed to be a kind turmoil against Mexicans by some groups. About why Mexicans help aliens to enter, may economic problems be the main reason. According to Department of Labor the rate of unemployment in California is 4.8. Mexicans who helped aliens to enter use their cars to hid immigrants and by their valid card passed the borders. According to reports many Mexicans commit in narcotic smuggling that is again caused by economic problems.
In Iran smuggling of immigrants and narcotics is directly related to poverty and economic problems. By looking on regions therein smuggling happen more than others, you can see the undeveloped regions are on the top. Sistan and Baluchistan, Khorasan and Kerman are the most region smugglers are active. There is similarity between south western states of US and eastern provinces in Iran, in both regions deserts are the main factor to help smugglers as well as loose barriers, although in US some hundreds immigrants die while passing through barriers and deserts, as reported.
It seemed that both governments, Iran and US, should find the way to improve the economical and cultural position in their borders which are in crisis. The interesting issue is that in both countries some groups with different ethnic identities live that may intensify the problems.
