No different than if the town was built on another illegal activity.

They never care about American’s.
How many articles about the hardships of people in Hawaii, Ohio, or NC have they recently published.
To: E. Pluribus Unum
Which is exactly why US money sent overseas should be taxed heavily taxed.
We don’t need our money going to help them when there are so many here in the US who need the help.

Two suggestions:
1. Apply for citizenship and get in line.
2. Go after your own government and throw them all into the ocean if they can't ensure that their own citizens have enough opportunity in Mexico to live happy, productive, healthy lives.
For the record, Mexico is the 14th largest country in the world by land area, and has a ton of coastline. France is 49, Spain 52, Sweden 56, Japan and Germany 62 and 63 respectively, Italy 73, the UK 80, Greece 97, and Switzerland 135. Mexico has raw materials and smart people. Do not blame the US for your issues. Fix the nation you have.
