Umm, because it's not Mexico's problem. It's not even really that big of a problem for the United States, but the onus is on the US in this case....Because they're helping the American economy, helping the Mexican economy, and helping their families make better lives for themselves.
That is why I suggest we make it Mexico's problem! Their corrupt military is escorting drug dealers across the border, even firing on our Border Patrol t times. THAT can be considered an act of war! I think we should make THAT clear to Fox. Helping the economy.
There have been studies that show the economic drain on the country in terms of SS, welfare, 'free' medical care given to illegals at hospitals (because they can not afford to pay for health care - they are collapsing our health care system), all the money taken OUT of the economy as it is taken back to Mexico, etc...outweighs any good done to the economy.Take into account the illegal activity, rapes, murders, etc done (and documented) by illegals, take into account the damage to private property being done by illegals 'sneaking' in and the law suits filed on their behalf by the Mexican Govt (which our stupid justice system has actually found in their favor at times) which has STOLEN entire farms and homes from LEGAL Americans who were defending their property from Criminals (people who are breaking the law), and the FBI's recent announcement about how Hez Bola, the terrorist group has been smuggling in terrorists and Mexicans (to make money) , and you have far more damage being done than good. Oh, it is defintely good for the Mexican Govt./economy! As long as Mexico can mooch off the U.S. at our expense, they will. That is why we need to close the borders and have them fix their own country instead of running for a free hand-out in the U.S.!
And there are plenty of law-abiding foreigners who are obeying the law and using the system to get into this country.
You're right - up until now, Fox has had no reason to consider it his problem or do anything about it. that is why we should make it his pronblem.
The next time the Border patrol sees the Mexican military escorting drug dealers across our border, we should light them up - Use helos, military jets, whatever you need/can, and wipe 'em out. When Fox gets the news that several of his soldiers and some of his military vehicles were destroyed ON U.S. PROPERTY, maybe he will start to think this may be his problem, too.
Meanwhile, the U.S. dollars to Mexico should stop flowing, and we should tell Fox that we are unable to send Mexico aid money because we are already providing his people aid in the U.S., paying for it with the money Mexico would have gotten. That will vertainly get his attention.
Finally, we should close the borders by any way possible, which will probably mean using a fence and military on the borders.
If you want an example of what happens when countries treat
illegal immigrants like
common criminals...[/QUOTE]
You said it in your own words -
ILLEGAL immigrants
ARE common criminals! They are breaking laws: immigration laws, trespassing, theft, illegally obtaining jobs...and more! If you break the law, you are a criminal.
BTW, Last year Mexico caught over a quarter of a million illegal immigrants coming into their country from THEIR southern border, and they tred to send almost every one back - deporting them.
Many politicians are saying that there are 12 Million illegals in this country and we can not do anything about them; meanwhile, there are more coming everyday! We have to seal the border 1st to prevent more from flooding in and THEN continue this discussion!
