Freedom is not free. There are worse things than dying. The countries of Latin America fought for their independence from the Spanish and Portuguese and won. They need to find the same backbone today and retake their countries.

Moving to America only makes their homelands worse.

Freedom is not free That is a fact. There are worse things than dying True, like living in poverty and squaller with no hope or means of change except to flee The countries of Latin America fought for their independence from the Spanish and Portuguese and won. They need to find the same backbone today and retake their countries. I guess you missed my point re the Chiapas revolt. Rifles and hand guns don't cut it when the Feds have helicopter gun ships, machine guns inferred motion detectors etc. Moving to America only makes their homelands worse. I think we can all agree on that as well as the idea that the current Mexican gov needs to be put out of business and a represented republic type of gov instituted. That's the obvious difficulty, the Mexican people alone do not have the means to make that happen, they need outside help. Masses of Mexican citizens revolting against the current Mexican gov will only lead to another Chiapas type slaughter. I don't like the US being invaded by the poorest that Mexico and other countries have to offer anymore than you, a boat will only hold so many people before it sinks, so to speak. Like Patric Henry stated in his argument for the 2nd amendment "if the people don't have fire arms and they have a grievance with the government, what will they do, tell them?" Armed suppression, intimidation and instilled poverty is what keeps elitist tyrants in place. Somehow, the playing field in Mexico needs to be leveled.
