What they ought to do is realize prosperity doesn't HAVE to end at the California - Baja border.
Go home and fix up home. That coastline could just keep going on southward if Mexico
would just adapt and allow it's citizens to be middle class.

I think that is what is slowly happening.
I remember hearing an NPR segment (I listen for opposition research) about 10 years
ago about how some Mexicans were returning home and fixing up Momma's house and
building the own new place.

The return of these Mexicans is not without some social upheaval...the segment had
a village priest complaining that the returnees "work too hard and they are
abandoning the church" (translation=they've got a work ethic and are becoming Protestant
or some other denomination).

It may not happen in our lifetime...but just like the seven decades it too to expose
and crack the "workers paradise" of the USSR, the oppression south of the border will
eventually crumble.

At least that's my prayer.

the oppression south of the border will eventually crumble.

It surely will, the trouble is they are doing it by just moving the border North.
