My sources of information tell me that Mexican officials are literally "terrified" that they are going to have to deal with the class of people who have come over here during the last 20 years or so who have little or no hope in Mexico. They are well aware of the fact that the numbers are close to 30 million, not 12 million. Most of the illegals here are those who did not want to study in school or who are criminals (fairly small percentage of the total). Aside from the drug war, they have maintained some political stability by ushering these people out of the country and into the United States and they do NOT want them back.
but...but these are “hardworking people” who are just looking for a break....
Indeed. The words, "clear and present danger" come to mind.
There is a huge demand in Mexico for criminals. Mexico is run by gangs.
That’s how we feel about sending them come here.
It takes both to make a revolution. Both the successful ones with the drive, and the not-so-successful millions of men of military age who will actually make it happen.
Its stupid to imagine that the folks here are the criminals and ones who don’t study, their government fears them, on the contrary, because they are the industrious who would foment a revolution were it not for the release valve of the US.
Same thing with the bubble economy. You’ll notice Woodward when they interviewed him said what an “unusual” choice it was for a candidate to say that, and economists interviewed said the same thing, like that was the official line or something. Nobody disputed what he said factually, just the ad hominem attack.
They know he’s right.
“The day may eventually come when we will be forced to invade MX and kill the drug cartels.”
Kind of pointless. As long as the drugs remain as valuable as they are, other cartels would just pop right back up to service the demand.
Does anyone know if people here illegally can still vote in their home country? Do they have write in votes, do they get counted? Does anyone bother??
But it also helps to forestall a Venezuela-style Communist revolution, which the elites in both countries fear more than anything.
Actually that is not true. MX is the only nation we have a common Southern border with.
Yes, it can come in by ship, boat, airplane. But it is harder to actually infiltrate large numbers of people in that mode.
MX leadership is and has always been thoroughly corrupt. And anti-US.
Thats what I saw.
Cruel doesn’t begin to describe it.
Its a 14th century feudal society there still.
As Edward Abbey said, we should stop the illegals at the border, hand them a gun, and turn them around.
They’ll know what they need to do when they go back.
The Palestinians of Mexico?
Yep, they are going to vote for communists in our country, rather than theirs.
“Yes, it can come in by ship, boat, airplane. But it is harder to actually infiltrate large numbers of people in that mode.”
We’re talking about infiltrating drugs, not people. Still, even if it becomes harder to bring the drugs over, the drugs just fetch a higher price, which means more profits, and a greater incentive for black marketeers to deal in them. It’s a economic feedback loop that will never be stopped by attacking the suppliers.
I don’t have your Malthusian perspective on the futility of ending the drug traffic.
Yep, it’s how the White-European Mexican elites think they’ll keep their heads from going on pikes.
The wife of the Mexican President is a former Novela actress.
Almost everyone on Mexican Soap Operas is lily-white.
“I don’t have your Malthusian perspective on the futility of ending the drug traffic.”
Look up what Milton Friedman had to say about it.
L
Yes, in the case of Mexico for sure and others probably.
They can also still vote in Mexico if they nationalize as well.
