Susan Sarandon: Build Mexico Schools, Not Wall
Newsmax.com ^ | 6/22/06

Susan Sarandon, outspoken actress and liberal political activist, thinks the United States should help build schools in Mexico -- not walls along the border.

Visiting a preschool in a slum bordering a vast, municipal garbage dump in Tijuana, Mexico, Sarandon said education was the key to improving lives in Mexico. She criticized a U.S. congressional proposal to extend walls along the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border.

The school was founded by New York educator David Lynch, who came to Tijuana in 1980 as a volunteer teacher. He later built the school for the children of Mexicans who eke out a living gathering recyclable material from the dump.

Sarandon, who has starred in movies such as "Thelma & Louise" and "The Client," has been supporting the project for years.

"I'm very proud, especially with the world careening out of control," she said. "People feel they have no control over their lives. I think this school is helping people to get control over their lives."

That's because of people like you, Susan.

If they can't even build schools then why does she think they can even run them?

Sarandon, it's not like Mexico is lacking money. They are swimming in oil money.

It is the fact that the elite in Mexico control 95% of the wealth and THEY do not build schools! Why not attack them like you attack the so called filthy rich here!!

God,she's stupid. Since when is it the US taxpayer's job to pay for Mexican schools? (Although we probably are already)

Ms. Sarandon, Mexico awaits your $ and any assistance you can give them. Vincente has sent you an invitation to move to Mexico and is awaiting your answer.

Just out of curiosity...how are schools going to help Mexico anyway? If they're public schools they'll be corrupt pieces of garbage (like our own public schools) and if they're private, no one will be able to afford to go there.

That's an excellent idea. She and Jimmuh can get together and build Mexican schools together.

Yep. Our tax money goes to welfare, which goes to illegal immigrants, which goes back home to family members in Mexico, which then goes to the Mexican government, which then goes to Mexican schools.

Otherwise known as the "circle of outrage."
