Huh, you never answered the question in reply #366, what is wrong with people working and having a vibrant economy south of the border?
There should be a vibrant economy south of the border ---Mexico is a very oil rich and has other vast natural resources and lots of millionaires and billionaires. Because of being one of the most corrupt nations, it doesn't have a vibrant economy. Fixing their own problems would be the obvious answer, exporting all it's people and demanding the US take care of them isn't.
I use to think it would be a good idea to build the Mexican economy, but now I see it as a black money sucking hole. Mexico is America's Palestine with the corrupt government it has in place. Illegal Mexicans will not improve our lot, rather bring our country's wage down to their level. If you think the "New World Order" is going to be some workers paradise, that old prostitute has been around a long time.
The insanity involved in tying our security to Mexico's cooperation regarding it's borders, seaports, and airports is beyond comprehension. I'm sure you will grasp the horror of that fact after palms are crossed with a little cash, that first nuke is smuggled across the border and you are busy trying to put your childrens skin back on them.
