Indeed, Mexico, as you say, should be one of the jewels of the civilized world instead of the abusive socialist govt whose citizens are invading the United States. The proponents of amnesty say we should accept this invasion because the Mexicans must escape their untenable situation of poverty and corruption and lack of opportunity to improve their standard of living.
I keep thinking that I must be missing something basic in my understanding of the situation as it seems to me the answer to both sides is for the US to invade Mexico, straighten out their socialist govt and help Mexico to create their own USA equivalent.
The US has gone around the world to help abused inhabitants of communist, socialist, freedom crushing governments. We have a situation on our own borders whose people risk life and limb, as did the Cubans under communist Castro, to gain the advantages of capitalist America. Their corruption runs without severe measures by our govt to secure our borders which enables further corruption of our own people.
Worse yet is the tendency for those escapees from Mexico, and other countries as well, to show their appreciation for the blessings of being on American soil by voting for the politicians who are bent on installing a Mexican type govt on this country.
One of the many problems with govt. that is too dam big.
