Ok, this is not just to you, but to all the "Mexico is not our friend" posters.

Mexico certainly isn't our "friend", in the way Britain is our friend, or even the way Canda is our friend.

But Mexico is not our enemy. If they were our enemy, we'd have to put thousands of REAL troops on our borders to defend against a REAL invasion with REAL troops. We'd have to build a wall, not to keep Mexicans out, but to keep out drug lords from Central America. Border towns would be places of fear.

Don't discount the economic advantage of having both our borders shared with countries that largely co-exist with us in peace.

I KNOW Mexico is invading us in a bloodless coup -- that's why we need to enforce our border, and that's why we need to bring the illegals already here out of the shadows, and send them home (more on that later).

I KNOW Mexico is allowing their people over the border to send money back to Mexico. We need true border security, and we need to get control over who is already here.

But if you truly want a Mexico that is our enemy, send 12 million people who currently work here and support families in Mexico BACK to Mexico, where they will be unemployed.

Millions of unemployed, impoverished people in a country with millions of dollars and a pretty decent military who blame US for their plight -- that's an enemy I'd rather avoid if I could. Sure, we could stop a million-mexican march to our border, if we were willing to shoot them.

Oh, wait. If we really built a wall, we wouldn't have to shoot them. But a million people in tents next to a big wall starving to death isn't the legacy I want for our country either.

But if you truly want a Mexico that is our enemy, send 12 million people who currently work here and support families in Mexico BACK to Mexico, where they will be unemployed.

How about this?
Send 12 million people back that have some experience with democracy, and rule of law, to a nation full of corruption, chronyism, socialism and special favors, and let them change the government and political system for something better..

12 million ex-US residents can make a mighty big social change in Mexico..
And not just for the worst..
It might be the biggest favor we could do for Mexico and Mexicans in general..

This is the main reason I have a problem with the illegals from Mexico. Too many of them are here to overthrow our government, and install their corrupt Mexican government. Not that ours is much better these days, but it's a far cry better than that hell hole across the border.

I live in NM and we already have 48% Hispanics living here. IF Congress gives all the illegals amnesty so that they can vote, we're going to see the same thing LA saw when they elected the mayor with ties to MEChA. They fully intend to install more anti American Mexicans into our government. You listen to this. It's really an eye opener!
