Poor people willing to do anything to survice...

Of course it's not only Americans they sell themselves to ---you forget how readily Mexicans also buy prostitutes. I didn't see Americans purchasing the 12 year old girls in the Plaza Garibaldi ---it was all Mexicans.

And what is the excuse for Mexico's extreme poverty when it's a very wealthy country in natural resources including lots of oil?

"Of course it's not only Americans they sell themselves to..."

Well that makes it okay then. Yep, you've sure got the morale high ground there.

"And what is the excuse for Mexico's extreme poverty when it's a very wealthy country in natural resources including lots of oil?"

Yes? What does that have to do with a Hispanic community in Indianapolis moving into a crime ridden slum and turning it into a clean and decent place to live? See that's what the point of this whole thread was...you're the one who introduced Juarez into the thread.

So what is wrong with there be a clean decent neighbor in American where one hadn't existed in about 30 years?

Yeah, no kidding. Cry me a river about these "moral" Mexicans. I can't tell you how many stories I hear of the escapades of MARRIED Mexican men working in this country and sending money back to the Mrs. It's well known if you happen to have any interaction at all with illegals. Not hearsay either folks, my sil is buddy buddy with a bunch of the illegals here and she tells us all the juicy stories. Not isolated, heard them before from my bil working cable in AZ. In that case, they were El Salvadoran immigrants. I actually think they were legal, but spare me this idea that illegals are somehow morally superior because they are poor.
