They might be economic refugees -- but there is no excuse for them being that. Mexico has an awful lot of wealth --- so much that it can give it's ex-presidents an annual salary of $5 million a year --- ten times what an American ex-president gets --- and that is 5 million in dollars.

If it can conceivably be justified that 12 million people can cross the borders illegally because they are "economic refugees", then I suspect that there are around 6 billion people on the planet that could use the same "logic". So we let them all in?
