As much as I abhor this invasion, I can't help feeling sorry for those who are so desperate as to need to find a living in another country and risk the desert heat in July to do so.
Why do we tolerate the type of regime in a neighboring countries that will not treat it's citizens humanely, or even allow them to make a living?. All of us who have traveled to Mexico have seen the natural resources there. Mexico could easily be one of the greatest countries, but for the oligarchy that rules it.
I have said this before, if Mexico was in the Middle East we have invaded it before Iraq.
You're so right - it is absolutely a beautiful country with unbelievable natural and cultural resources. It's horrible their "leaders" can't get it together and instead blame us for everything.
