Mexico is a third world nation and has all the accompanying problems in spades. The U.S. can NOT provide enough aid to change this. It's not a question of economics, it's a failed culture.

It's a failed culture is right...it's not about race...it's about culture...but let's back-engineer to the creators...Mexicans, who virtually never seem to take responsibility for their own problems. Even the language supports this...if you dropped a glass in English you'd say "I dropped the glass"....in Spanish...there is no way to say that...the same action in Spanish would be "the glass fell"....is it any wonder Mexicans are always blaming everyone else for their problems? I doubt that Mexico will ever be anything but a counter-dependent little child....and a third world failure....

How much money does Mexico receive from their illegals in the US????? Freaking use $500 mm of that instead of more of my money. I am already paying through to nose to feed, medicate, house, and educate your citizens.

we now risk losing (Mexico's) support," he said.

Now THAT's funny!...like who give's a rat's ass....

Merida Initiative = Continental security

Housing crisis, gas prices, oh yeah, let’s send AT LEAST 1.1 BILLION to Mexico.

It moments like this that I wonder if Dubya cares more about Mexico and Mexicans than the US.

Chertie—Mexico is not an ally.

An ally would have troops in Iraq and Afghanistan helping us to avenge 9/11/01.

An ally would remember we bailed out their worthless peso in 1995 to the tune of $ 15 billion.

An ally would appreciate that we gave them hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs, while we got a giant, sucking sound called NAFTA.

An ally would acknowledge that we house, feed, educate and medically care for 10% of their entire population at our cost, while allowing them to send back $ 23 billion in remittances, tax-free.

An ally would help us out by selling us cheap oil in our time of need.

Mexico is a corrupt hellhole.

Build the fence, kick Juan and Maria back over it with their kids, and keep them out.

We have had Mexico on our backs since 1848.

It’s time they stood on their own feet.

If they can’t, that’s why we have a fence.

I suspect less than 20% of this aid will actually be spent for the original purpose.

That pretty well sums up every government program, does it not?
