Corruption at all levels of society keeps a few wealthy and the rest poor. Mexico, by any measure, is among the most corrupt nations.
The poor are as much to blame for this as the rich, though: given the chance, the average Mexican would gladly trade places with the corrupt officials.
Make the 10-12 million illegals return to Mexico. Their country would collapse within a week through revolution.
FREEPER SHEANA FAMOUSLY POSTED THIS:
Dear Mr. President:
I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family of 20 relatives, and I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know you can help with this. I will skip all the legal nuisances like visas, passports, immigration quotas and laws. I'm sure Mexico ----as our best friend---will handle these matters the same way you do here. So, would you mind telling your friend, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on my way over? Please let Pres Fox know that when I arrive, I will be expecting the following:
1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need, whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms must be printed in English.
4. My kids must be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down, preferably upside down.
7. I plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to Mexican government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put US flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. and I do not want any complaints or
negative comments from the locals.
12. I would like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and do not plan to be subject to Mexican labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in Mexico to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on their economy.
I know you will agree to my request because you graciously accommodate all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. And Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely. Thank you for your assistance in this matter. It is most appreciated.
Sincerely,
"Amnesty is granting citizenship to an illegal immigrant that is currently in the country. It is very important if there is to be a compromise reached that the Senate back off amnesty. The way they have set it up is that it is an invitation to the same type of wholesale document fraud that occurred in Simpson-Mazzoli ... It also has U.S. citizenship for sale for $3,250—which is the fine that the illegal immigrants would have to pay. And U.S. citizenship should never be for sale." —Rep. James Sensenbrenner.
