"I would rather see American investments in Mexico than in China but Mexico has some serious problems that it needs to deal with before all it's problems can be solved by us."

I never said that we should solve all its problems, as a matter of fact, I'm talking about solving OUR problems.

Call it my "ants" theory.

If I have ants in my kitchen, I could fumigate to get rid of them.

Of course, I'd have to fumigate periodically because if I don't eliminate food on the floor, they'd just come back.

They come for jobs, give them jobs there, they come for welfare, take the benefits away. It benefits the US consumer.

"There is a need for them to take a close look at their social injustices and question why prosperity ends at the Rio Grande when Mexico is a country very wealthy in natural resources and labor."

Are these things we looked at, and demanded, before doing business with China?

Mexico's problems are nowhere near the magnitude of Red China's.

"I know of an illegal who left because in his town the wealthy family that owned the only business often didn't pay the employees at all..."

I guess you haven't been paying attention to the news around here.

ENRON.

I also had an outfit that stuck the company I represent for half a million dollars in unpaid bills, and most of a month's wages for over three hundred employees of their's.

No one is getting any money.

The US is in no way obligated to do social engineering in Mexico, or any other country for that matter, before doing business with them, and unlike China or Cuba, Mexico has never stated that the destruction of the US is one of theor goals.

I agree. I think it is important that we keep in mind what kind of neighbor we have next door. It's better for us if they're in good shape and probably we should demand they get themselves in better shape and we can help them, we shouldn't help China so much ---that's using communist labor, we should promote Capitalism.
