We should never have given them back anything at the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, then we wouldn’t have a Mexico to worry about.

If we had stayed there, all of Mexico would be as prosperous as Texas.

"It’s like Mexicans think they have a right to invade our country and rob us blind......."

But it's a time-honored tradition.

It is that entitlement mentality that has me so bitter towards them.

“It’s still happening there today. Funny how nobody points these things out about Meh-Hee-Co.”

Yeah, and we regard the Middle East is a craphole, when we have a big one right here on our southern border that’s been like a big boil on our A$$ forever. Mexico isn’t our friend, and it never has been.

“It’s not just the Mexicans - the MSM and the Dem party in general seem to feel the same way.”

Face it, it’s just cover for their continuing efforts to subvert this Republic and turn it into just another Marxist State. All the RATs want the illegals for is to use them to vote them (the RATs) into permanent power here.

You & I both know it; but in the spirit of “water-boarding for truth”, I’d love to soak a few rats and get them to admit it too.

Perfect! If the RATs really told the truth about their goals and intentions, they would cease to be a national party in short order. They exist because we have enough low-class morons and outright Marxists amongst us to keep their party viable, and we have our union-run “public education system” to thank for much of it.

Agreed. I’m REALLY hope that DeVos is successful. If we can break the back of the teachers unions, and start to reverse the decades-long trend of leftist indoctrination in our schools, our republic just might stand a chance...

I said this 11 years ago when we had large immigration protests here in Phoenix. Observing the protest from my place of work near the capital, I said to a liberal co-worker, “These protests belong in their own country, not here.” Surprisingly, even she agreed.

It's amazing that so few in this country really know Mexico. I think that's intentional, the US fears what would happen if ever there was a real uprising in Mexico, so their government literally gets away with murder.

This seems to be the real danger to Mexico of reduced exportation of the poor to the US. More domestic poor, more discontent, more pressure on the government. The border has always been used by the corrupt Mexican government as a pressure relief valve to keep the ruling elites in power and the poor safely in their place. They’ve also relied on the billions sent south as a revenue stream for the government. The only true immigration reform for the US is a total reform of the Mexican style of government.

If it were up to Trump I suspect he’d do a speech to that effect, but the repercussions would be fairly immediate and unpredictable. It’s coming eventually anyway, might as well get it over with. Mexico’s a narcostate run by an elite kleptocracy. They are as corrupt as it gets.

To their elitist masters who only want the income remittances from US illegals and not the social responsibilities of tending to their citizens.

I've said practically forever that all benefits paid to or on behalf of non-citizens must be charged back to their countries of origin. Maybe this administration will listen.
