It’s easy to explain.
We choose to fix every country in the world....except Mexico.
Fix that country and make them prosperous and they will stay home.
But....people who need cheap labor don’t want that.
FIX MEXICO!
I don’t think we can fix Mexico, but we can stop making it worse: for one thing, we’ve actually got to help Mexico protect its borders and we’ve got to stop being the world’s biggest, laxest drug market.
One thing not discussed is that these “children” (mostly teenagers) are not all from Mexico or even Latin America, but huge numbers of them are CHINESE, and in fact the signs along the border are actually in English, Spanish and Chinese. They obviously don’t swim to Mexico, but are smuggled by human traffickers, usually to Cuba, where they are then landed on the long coastline of Mexico or trans-shipped via Guatemala and then pointed in the direction of the United States.
Mexico does not have the resources to deal with this and, meanwhile, Cuba is making a fortune on it.
I think this is one of Obama’s most cynical ploys yet, because he is essentially using Latin Americans to promote his plan to flood the US with people from totally alien cultures: either from Communist countries such as China or from Muslim countries (a large number of Arabic speakers come across the Mexican border, although he has expanded the legal quota for them so much they barely need to now...all they do is come in and overstay their visas).
We have something in common with Latin Americans, but we have absolutely nothing in common with the other people he is covertly bringing in. And he’s doing it intentionally, but manipulating Latin Americans to make it look as if it’s all their fault or to their benefit. It’s not.
