I agree. But the will to fight for Liberty is something that cannot be imported.
Thinking about it from their point of view, it is far easier to "petition the (American) government (and its fair-minded citizens) for a redress of (supposed) grievences", than to organise and fight for those same needs in their homeland.
Same reason all those folks from Europe moved to the US in the 19th and early 20th century. Path of least resistance.
Speaking to those here who think they should be "grateful" to the "generous" Norte Americanos. You people are either blind to, or ignorant of, human nature. Each of those migrants, if he has an ounce of self-respect, thinks himself the equal, or better, of any man. They know that they work hard, they know that their work is not fairly compensated and they know that someone else, certainly not themselves or their families, is benefiting from the labor they perform.
The seeds of Communism are being planted in the hearts of everyone of these men and women. They, given the right circumstances, would kill every landowner they could lay their hands on. Peons, serfs, peasants and coal-miners, when not well-fed, well-house and well cared for, have done this since the beginning of time.
Keeping them out would solve the short-term problem, but the farmers need the laborers and would import them illegally (as well they do) regardless of the sanctions. Closing the border to Mexico is not something our Government, including El Presidente Bush, "War-Hero" McBlame, Hitlerly or Boxer/Feinstein have the stomach for. The "Latino" vote is now too important. On top of that constituency, Big Business, in the form of Tyson Foods, Perdue Chicken, Con-Agra, Archer-Daniels-Midland and others, REQUIRE the cheap, underpaid, under-represented, under educated, and compliant LABOR.
The only possible, long term, solution is to welcome these essential workers with open arms. The United States should work towards a NWO where Canada, Mexico and United States share one currency, one Constitution and one border. The United States of North America.
