-------------------------------------- no one that i know wants mexicos help IBerg !!
the question was should we help them. not should we expect theirs.
I understand where you're coming from but I have a problem with helping a country that has been invading the US for the last thirty years and basically telling us to **** off while they did it.
Maybe you dont live in a border state and just dont understand the damage they've done to our country but I do.
Enlighten me, then.
Illegal immigration from Mexico has been an issue for
more than thirty years, bud. I've spent most of my life in border states, and illegal immigrants have existed my entire
life. I travel all over Mexico, and I think it's a pretty great country. Sure, it doesn't possess the first-world wealth the US has, but they possess many enviable tangible natural resources that the US once or never had. To name just a few, Mexico's coastline is over double that of the US. Their agriculture economy outshines ours three fold. They
build Ford pickup trucks, for ***** sake. Some of the most breathtaking places I've ever been to are in Mexico. But, I suppose that makes me some kind of liberal shitbag to you on
principle, because
reasons...
The same ineffectual US Republican and Democrat senators/representatives have been wringing their hands about illegal immigration this whole time with scant results.
They are the ones at fault for doing little to nothing.
They are responsible for letting the
situation come to a head after all this time (SEE: '
War on Drugs'). If you knew anything at all about the
facts as well as history regarding what you pretend to ruminate about, you might understand that the
real solution to the problem of illegal immigration would be for
both countries to work
together to reform our horribly broken, outdated, bureaucratic and unmanageable immigration and naturalization system...
...But that would take some sort of
research and
mutual understanding, thus
real effort. USA, in our current pointless quest to seem
exceptional, seems to have taken the lazy way out on this issue for about forty years. Actually, we do that on a
multitude of foreign and domestic problems that face the country, but I digress. If I seem cynical, well it's only because I'm
right. Watch
'Idiocracy'. It's becoming more like a documentary than a comedy each coming day. I mean, why
bother with solving the 'hard' stuff when our cowed population is more concerned with celebrity worship, like who is on 'The Apprentice' this week than taking the time to actually understand, study and improve upon foreign and domestic problems facing the nation? Nah,
**** it. That requires
educating ourselves to our domestic and global problems, and
that shit is for
nerds, amiright? God forbid we come off as
elitist, for ***** sake...
USA!!! USA!!!
Furthermore, building 'the Wall' is a pointless, band-aid temporary fix on an already overflowing dam of immigration problems coming in from the south. It's nothing more than political theater designed to satiate the demands of the commoner. It works, too. Those same ineffectual politicians bank on said public laziness and apathy to exist, and like good little peasants, majorities in the US continue to vote for said congress critters, guaranteeing they stay ineffectual, fat, rich and happy for the rest of our peasant lives. Term limits?
Who wants that? If you can't see that as our
real threat, if that doesn't sincerely
scare the shit out of you, then you have no real cause for weighing in on the conversation. You're not
qualified to have a serious, objective political discussion. Thus, that'll do, pig.
We elect the government we deserve. It might do you well to bear that in mind.
Mexico is not a good neighbor,they instruct their citizens on the best way to cross the border illegally and how to game our system.
Horseshit.
I'm sorry but I have zero sympathy for a country ran by the drug cartels.
Aaaaand,
more horseshit.
