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.
