The Mexican government would prefer no violence as it rids itself of it's unwanted millions but they'll accept violence too if that's the only way they can succeed in their plans. Actually they'll commit genocide on these same campesinos but they'd prefer it not have to get messy.

I do not belive in " a plan "....just apathy and economics.... the people come here for the money.... the government lets them for the same reason plus the fact it reduces their internal problems. No matter what the central government of Mexico may think....it is a low priority and something they can not control.....low level officials are corruptable and it is impossiuble to plug the leak without their support and MAJOR costs to an already impoverished government.
My concern is that these "amatuer" border guards will over-react and make the situation worse not better. We have already had an attempted massacre by other vigilantees.
The answer lies in energizing the government at all levels to correct a VERY dangerous situation. but I have seen no sign they are even listening....much less prepared to act.
