In fact, modern Mexico is a Third World Hellhole ruled by a corrupt kleptocracy. Its poor, unconnected citizens are forced to flee their country in their millions, not just to find a better life, but to survive. Those left behind are often sustained by income earned abroad. Our de facto open borders policy is a safety valve that keeps the country from imploding. Mexican children are taught to hate the USA in school, but come here in their millions despite this. The country’s socialist rulers conducted a relentless religious persecution that included executions, seizure of church property and restriction of religious activity. But many ordinary Mexicans remained believers. The same socialists took a country that should be rich—oil, peerless agricultural potential, favorable weather two coasts with fishing and tourism and proximity to the world’s largest, most open market—and somehow produced mass poverty. No wonder Obama gushes over it.

There has to be shared interests between the US govt bureaucrats and our own socialist elected officials with their counterparts in Mexico. Every time immigration is mentioned by a Republican spokesperson, they should preface what is said by reading off the requirements that Mexico has for entry into Mexico, along with the enforced, stringent rules for any legal transactions such as business, real estate, working, etc. The US has no reciprocal agreement with Mexico that is a tit for tat regarding American citizens receiving the same considerations, and codling, as that which activistists here are enforcing on US tax payers. Nothing about our immigration policy, as is apparent to our citizens who are rightfully concerned about the matter, makes any sense. On any level. Collusion between Mexico and the US has to be exposed and dealt with by our elected Representatives or the end result will be the usurpation of this Republic by a totalitarian regime which will surpass anything that immigrants from any other country are fleeing from. So sad.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

They when the Mexican kids arrive in the U.S. they are taught to hate the USA in our own American schools. Geeze! ( sigh!)
