The economy is causing many illegal aliens to leave, but we need to do much more.

Not going to get better with the bandit Obaba gang arming the Mexican drug gangs with civilian and military grade weapons.

"Today, the job of thwarting drug cartels in rugged and remote terrain is a job for the military, quietly assisting Mexican authorities and subordinate to them."

Ha! Get bent, Newsweak.

“No other immigrant group in American history has asserted or has been able to assert a historical claim to American territory. Mexicans and Mexican-Americans can and do make that claim.” Most of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Nevada, and Utah were part of Mexico until the 1835–36 Texan War of Independence and the 1846–48 Mexican-American War...(m)exicans arrive in the United States, settle in areas of the country that were once part of their homeland, and so “enjoy a sense of being on their own turf” that other immigrants do not share."

HOGWASH!!

"mexicans" can cite between 15 years (TX) and 26 years (CA) of 'homeland'..before that it was Spanish and before that it was several dozens of antagonistic indian tribes; "mexicans" were handed a territory, failed in administrating it, reneged on their own constitution (1828-1836) and handed it over almost immediately to the USA - finally selling us the disputed tracts. So what's to complain about?

So, Iberians ("Hispanic"), Hopi, Zuni, Pima, Chumash, a few Apache, etc. can claim to have a sense of being on their own turf - but mexicans/LaRaza do not!

(The "San Miguel band of mission indians" may have a claim to homeland, but not to nationhood - or treaty protected casinos.)

I'm really tired of this crap, if Northern mexico wants to become a separate state let it do so - and build a big honking wall. We'd be far better off with that solution than with a hand-full of already failed mexican states impinging themselves and their untrained, unwilling, and unlawful jetsam into the USA.

PS: all that said, mexico, or whatever mexico may become, should have a legitimate and equitable immigration quota, no different than China or Scotland, and those who come here properly must be given the same basic rights as any other immigrant - and adhere to the same restrictions and expectations.
