If Mexico would allow more people from the industrialized nations to enter their country (legallly of course) and help make it better, it would be a much, much better country.
Last time they did they lost half of their country...
Some improvement...
But this is all in the past... That region is now undisputed US territory. All is being asked for is a bit of respect towards people who's simply following the universal human imperative to seek a better life elsewhere.
Regarding illegal Mexicans in particular, the American people should stop for a moment, remember HOW the Southwest became part of America (illegal immigration) and refrain from using terms like "criminals", "thieves", "leeches", "wetbacks" etc, etc...
Is this asking too much?? I don't think so...
But they are criminal by todays standard. It is unfortunate that we do not enforce our own laws the way we should. It would cut down on our prison populations and our unemployment at the same time. I seriously do wonder just what the percentage of illegals are fleeing the law in their home country....
