Mexico does everything in its power to subvert our laws.
Exactly. Smoke and mirrors! IF he REALLY cared, he would have done this right after 9-11.
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.
