The Aid doesn't work. For years this country has been pumping dollars into Mexico and moving jobs into that country in order to prop it up to hopefully lower the flux of people into this country. All the lost $ and jobs has not stemmed the tide or lowered the violence.


>Yes and they need your help. The distortion caused by being very rich next to a poor country gives you a choice. Billions of dollars in border protection or Billions of dollars in aid.

>>>>>>>Try going to Mexico, illegally and see what happens. The fact that we are calling them "illegal" should be telling enough. Identify them, imprison them and make them work for the state. That will stop the mass flow from the southern border. Just think of the manpower that could be used to clean the roads in Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, California and all the other states that have ILLEGAL aliens.

And you would not be entering the world's fastest churning economy. To enter the U.S. from Mexico all you have to do is walk or swim across an invisible border. That's the profound difference.
