Mexico is potentially a very rich country.

They have a lot of natural resources, loads of coastlines for tourism, food, culture, history .... literal and figurative gold mines.

But their governments have been corrupt for a long time (I understand this is relative) so the wealth of the country never gets to the ordinary citizen. Which is why they leave, and I don’t blame them for that, I blame the government.

Trump or someone needs to read Mexico’s elite the riot act and explain to them that they must clean up their corruption and treat their citizens better ... or else.

I loath the UN but as long as they exist the UN should be called in to create refugee camps on the Mexican side of the border for all the economic refuges MEXICO HAS CREATED. Put sanctions on Mexico until they clean up their corruption and treat their own citizens fairly.

And about time, too. Mexico is ruled by a few oligarchical families—with the one controlled by Carlos Slim Helu at the top of the pile. They have the potential to be one of the richest countries in all of Latin America if they can get a decent government not dominated by those oligarchs.

Mexico is beautiful but government can be bought off, no guns or second ammendment and cartels wealth rule the day.

Our 20% of America doing recreational drugs have supporting led the rise of cartels and have funded terrorism in several places.
