“Mexicans and Central Americans are hard workers, so we are told, and their countries are rat holes. So it takes more than just hard work to build and maintain a 1st World civilization.”
Actually, every single immigrant I’ve met in my life and career (including actually illegal Mexicans who worked in a restaurant) have been pretty darn hard working and serious. They know what “really bad” is, unlike your basic, flabby, worthless gibmedat US citizens, who think “hardship” is no cable. Mexico, for example, is in fact institutionally corrupt and degenerate*, in that the Hispanic lineaged, corrupt class has lorded over the native Mexicans for 75+ years. So, maybe we are not getting Mexico’s elite, but we might get their “hungriest for success”...which might be much better, and ironically, besides oil, the only export from Mexico worth having.
*Sound vaguely familiar?
It sounds exactly like the same excuses liberals make for the failure of the black community. Its the government's fault.
Mexico is a 3rd World toilet because its has a 3rd World people with 3rd World ways, 3rd World habits, and 3rd world problems. America is going to become a 3rd World toilet because of insane and suicidal people like you have no problem flooding the country with 3rd World people.
