I applaud this Jose'...and I'd go further. Both nations' governments and business communities have sought, and still seek, to make a permanent American slave class or underclass of illegal Mexicans. No one with any humanity should endorse such an effort.
Let´s try to separate fact from fiction, Madeline:
FACT:
It's absolutely true that Mexico profits from the presence of illegal immigrants in America and try to support them with a series of legal and diplomatic measures. I would be insane to deny this fact.
But even if Mexico didn't get a single dollar from illegal immigrants it would still try to help them because all countries have this kind of "I'm for my citizens right or wrong" attitude.
America doesn't have anything to gain by defending self-confessed american drug mules arrested abroad but it often applies political pressure on foreign governments to extradite them to the US because this is what all governments in the world do.
FICTION:
Mexico deliberately keeps part of its population poor so that they immigrate to America.
This statement is so pathetic that it doesn't even deserve a serious reply. Some say the American government does not have an interest in controlling firearms because this is a way to reduce the american black population.
Most americans don't appreciate when people make up these loony theories about America so let's not do the same thing with Mexico.
