So, I wonder what is different about the Mexico case.

The Mexican pension plan is out of money --- it's probably gone into the pockets of some very corrupt, very wealthy officials but it's bankrupt.

I think what our government may be doing is using what's left of our social security system to try to buy off the revolution which is likely to happen in Mexico. We give the peasants our retirement, maybe they won't get too mad.

Let the Mexicans revolt. It would be cheaper for proper border control than giving them the retirement accounts. They have every right to be angry at their govt why should be pay one red cent to protect their politicians?

Why, that's plumb loco! If Mexicans are self-destructive enough to make a revolution, who are we to deny them?

Our job is to secure our borders and to make certain that people don't come over illegally. Some say that we need the Mexicans to do farm labor. I say we only need to Mexicans to do farm labor labor CHEAP. I say let individual bargainers set farm wages, and we'll have all the farm workers we need from right here in the US of A.
