As long as the dinero keeps flowing south, Mexico considers them Mexican citizens. That’s why they don’t want them back.
I’ve seen some resentment by Mexicans who stayed in Mexico against their `expatriates’ here, but it seems to be more trepidation by `castilians’ about having to take back mestizos. Not sure why. They weren’t supporting them there, as we do here.
Send `em back, wait for the revoluccion. They can fight for their own country.
I do not see a problem. Economically Mexico is not in the drivers seat. They can do nothing. It is only to their advantage to cooperate with the United States. It is all bluster for local political consumption.
The people at the top in Mexico are all “Crony Capitalists” and really do not give a damn. Their government is corrupt and the result is Mexico does not even come close to living up to their great potential. It should be a very rich and prosperous nation. It is not. Their lack of great progress is internal.
The real hell of it is, Mexico has a lot of great people with an incredible work ethic. They have a lot of bad people also. This is a result of corruption.
I grew up on the border, speak Spanish and traveled extensively in Mexico until it became to damn dangerous. I married a wonderful Mexican lady, an engineer. I know of which I speak. She will not go to Mexico anymore. It is dangerous.
Correct. See my post #42
they beat the #### out of a lot of those folks.
that’s known.
i’ve no problem with it. it’s just that they dont just “have strict laws and enforce them”
which adds EXPONENTIALLY to the hypocrisy!!!
