The only thing that will get Mexico to even consider reigning in their nationals is a huge industrial influx that trumps any and all cash sent to Mex by their citizenry embedded here................ Maybe Mexico should show it’s good faith by relaxing, or not enforcing, its own strict immigration laws, the exact thing they are demanding of us. Until they are willing to do that, they should just STFU.

An important point to ponder-----not only did we, the people, slaughter the amnesty atrocity, BUT we also beat back the Mexican government (which was heavily invested in amnesty).

WE hold the winning cards, so we get to decide the rules of the game. WE DEMAND that Mexico stop aiding and abetting the invasion..........or else.

It's an outrage that US citizens are socked with the costs of subsidizing illegal Mexico's citizens, and are forced to put-up a multi-billion dollar fence, and hire law enforcement to keep these invaders off our land.

We get all the grief AND the bills---Mexico gets off scot-free. That has to end.

Keep in mind that the US (that's us, the taxpayers) provides the nuclear defense umbrella to protect Mexico, so that Mexico has no real defense expenses. We need to let Mexico know that we will cut off every penny in US aid unless they do something about border security.

Mexico can well-afford it. Mexico is a wealthy oil-producing neighbor and has eleven "Forbes" billionaires, more than all but eight other nations. Mexico has more billionaires than Saudi Arabia, Switzerland or Taiwan. It also has more than 85,000 millionaires. It's telecommunications king---Carlos Slim has displaced Bill Gates as the world's richest man.

According to a CNN report, Mexico sits on oil reserves worth about $400 billion, but Mexico's state-owned oil company, Pemex, doesn't have the investment funds to tap those reserves, and Mexico's Congress refuses to allow foreign investment in Pemex. Some observers say this is due to Mexican gov't corruption, and the obsession to line their own pockets.

Adding insult to injury American taxpayers are subsidizing foreign aid transfers to Mexico from its lettuce pickers and hamburger flippers here. The percentage corrupt Mexican politicans are getting from this $30-40 billion bundle must be considerable (or else it would be stopped). America should mandate proof for all cash transfers out of the US and/or force all transferring agencies -- banks, credit unions, Amex, Western Union to collect a substantial withholding tax -- 50%, say -- on every unexplained foreign remittance.

The government of Mexico---with all of its oil revenue----needs to be pitching in to protect the borders (AND taking care of its own people, not "outsourcing' them as wards of American taxpayers).

Your post is important and needs repeating on many threads...

Most folks (sheeples) buy the hype that Mexico is a poor country with few resources...

...Carlos Slim's name & amount of wealth, imo, should be bandied at every opportunity and the facts you stated need to be well known.

No doubt many Mexicans come here illegally to get away from crime, poor wages and bad living conditions...

..but Mexico could/should clean up their own country and they have the finances to do it....

..they just don't want to.
