The Mexican Perspective

In my troop it was sort of an indoctrination. Once you had been on a "snipe hunt" you were one of us.

[ModelBreaker]

The French did it, for crying out loud. So can the Mexicans.

Were I looking for an example of a successful revolution, that would not have been the one I picked.

Many of the illegals who would be rounded up and shipped back to Mexico have family in the U.S

Many of the illegals have wives and children in both the US and Mexico- so you can see what a problem it would be if they were all deported. The issue for many would not be seperating the family, but too much family togetherness.

[Tammy8]

Mexicans are just like everyone else, some good some bad and some indifferent. I don't think "bad Mexican" would be a slur- it would depend on how it was used. I think a serial killer who happened to be a citizen of Mexico would surely be a "bad Mexican"

[LongElegantLegs]

I used France as an example only because they're the silliest country I know of, but they still managed to band together and get something done. The aftermath of the French Revolution was just...well, what one would expect from th French.

[hinckley buzzard]

my paisanos north of the border have a similar plea. They want to keep their families together. Many of the illegals who would be rounded up and shipped back to Mexico have family in the U.S.

No problema. Happily ship the whole damn family back home together, and let the citizens among them apply for re-entry when they reach 18 or 21.

[A CA Guy]

Their men and husbands are too busy screwing around on their wives here with impunity to go back more than likely.
