He’s right - the real solution is for the people to stay in their own country and reform it.
But, when there’s an “escape valve”, it’s easier to flee than reform.
Thank you.
Mexico is a disaster; its government is a corrupt socialist kakistocracy, and has been since the 1920s. People leave Mexico, because Mexico is a good place to be from. There's no excuse for this; Mexico is very rich in natural resources, and its people are likewise resourceful. Mexico desperately needs a "regime change".
Similarly, these United States are a disaster. We give out freebies, at taxpayer expense, to anybody who asks. Legally, this constitutes an "attractive nuisance". We don't enforce our own immigration laws, creating another "attractive nuisance". Phil Collins had a song "It's No Fun (Being an Illgal Alien)". HAH! As if ... WE need to clean up our act, too. Our socialist welfare state will be the death of us.
Funny how the same thing ... SOCIALISM ... on both sides of the border is the root of the problem.
