Vicente Fox WAS regime change in Mexico. Hard as it may be to believe for people who have only begun paying attention recently, Fox is a huge improvement over what came before. I can tell you don't remember Lopez Portillo and Luis Echeverria very well, not to mention Salinas or Zedillo and the PRI. Or how even more terribly dysfunctional Mexico's economy was as recently as the 80s. Only decent president in recent history was de la Madrid. In Mexico there are a million people entering the workforce each year. They simply can't gen up the jobs that fast. If we are going to have to wait until Mexicans enjoy the same standard of living as we do to solve our illegal immigration problem, we will never solve it. You have described and justified a policy of wait until we are over-run. Or perhaps you don't believe it is a problem. It is Fox's job to look out for the interests of Mexicans, it is our job to look out for our country's interests. I don't hold it against Fox because he's doing his job, and we aren't.
Agree. The only solution, unfortunately, is to fully militarize the border to prevent illegal immigration. Spend the billions to put up a real barrier, patrol it assiduously, and deport everyone caught, and put some sort of permanent mark on them so that they can never enter the US for any reason.
