One thing that I don't understand is that we seem so eager to help Mexicans. How about freakin' helping them get rid of their Corrupt Government and Fox instead of budddying up to this PoS.
We don't buddy up to Castro or Chavez.
Either way, how about us forcing them to fix their sh#@ hole of a country before we run the enormous risk of allowing tens or hundreds of millions of them coming here to ruin ours and trend it towards what theirs is.
Gangs, corruption (making that in our government look like cheating in a game of solotaire), and a massive lower class lead the way down there.
As it now stands, opening the lock doors with the two levels of water (societal standards) at massively different levels can only yield disastrous results. We need to fill the lock with water first before opening the doors and always keep that lock there as a buffer.
Either way, with all the time, risk, money being wasted on things that only threaten the viability of the U.S., perhaps our focus should be on helping/forcing Mexico to clean up its own mess before we allow them to come in and sh&% inside our borders.
That's because we're the good guys.
(Of course, being good buys, we enter a war and fight it to a stalemate.)
If our goobermint cozied up to Castro and Chavez our leftist-socialist state department would be all over these commies with kisses. Our security (which is so woefully inadequate now) would resemble swiss cheese as we'd be sharing everything with our new commie friends.
Forget about our CIA. It's been a socialist think tank for decades.
Back to the Mexicans.
Their country is indeed a cesspool on a par with Namibia or Zimbabwe (or is it Zimbabme?)
NAFTA was rolled out to solve all the economic problems of Mexica. After all, the U. S. has been bankrupt for eons and has loaned money to Mexico that would rebuild the Bush-destructed New Orleans and feed all the lazies for years.
The problem with NAFTA, among the myriad, is that now goods are manufactured in China, transshipped to Mexico where the goods are labeled "Made in Mexico" then shipped up to el Norte to the throngs of eagar and simple American consumers.
As long as the Mexican government continues to perpetuate itself in a form of incest, Mexicans will leave and come North.
Erecting a wall, deporting all illegals will send them back to do combat with their filthy government, but then they'll end up like Venezuela or Cuber.
It doesn't matter. We should be tired and sick to the point of puking to let our hearts bleed a little more for someone else. Deport the whole lot of them, seal the border and recall our ambassadors to Mexico, Venezuela, Peru and Ecuador.
