BUT BUT BUT. According to politicia s Mexico sends their best and brightest here to rebuild our economy. Why wouldn’t Mexico want to prevent their best and hardest working citizens from leaving?
The best and brightest of Mexico aren’t leaving....nor have they been leaving since the mid-1990s. No one does surveys but I’d take a guess that out of every 1,000 who cross the border....fewer than 20-percent are Mexican, and most of those are dead-end situations with guys who have no education or qualifications except orange-picker or burger-flipper. The rest of the crowd are from El Salvador, Honduras, etc.
I think it was a mistake for Trump to ID Mexico as the sole cause of this border problem. There are at least a dozen countries contributing to this mess.
