Fixed!

About 1/2 of what it costs annually to have 20 million illegals here sponging off services and filling our prisons. Not to mention the costs to the multitudes of US citizens who are the victims of the illegal aliens - crime victims and displaced workers alike.

Not to mention the fact that we have a 65 billion trade deficit with Mexico. Not to mention the 10s of 1000s of manufacturing jobs that departed for Mexico. Not to mention the staggering drug traffic coming in from Mexico. Not to mention 10s of billions that are sent “home” each year by illegal mexican workers. Not to mention the tons of poop and garbage left on US citizens property where the hordes of illegal pass thru. Not to mention the crime riddled drug gangs whose reach extends well into the US, especially in our border towns.

My suggestion - move to mexico if you like it so much.

Is your issue with Mexicans specifically? Or is it with the Welfare state?

It would appear that most people are concerned with the abuse of the welfare system imposed upon us by government. That part is very unfair, no?

Illegal immigration would not be so bad if prisoners had to pay their way and cover the costs of prison and bums would not have access to our money to cover their inability to manage their own lives.

And in response we should stop exporting to them and put tens of thousands, maybe more, Americans out of work. Yeah, that'll teach 'em!

Mexico has oil and we buy it? I'm shocked. Do we export more to Mexico since NAFTA passed or less? If more, how much more? Do those billions and billions in new exports support jobs for Americans?

Mexico has a lot of problems and those problems negatively impact the US. But to cut off trade with our #2 trading partner wouldn't alleviate any of them but it would send lots of Americans to the unemployment line.

The next time you want to reply, maybe you should engage your brain before posting. Calling for a total ban on trade is an emotional reaction but telling someone who sees the ridiculousness of such an idea to move to Mexico is just plain stupid.
