- it is the federal governments duty to protect the borders. The vast majority of these people are just average slobs trying to make more money, but many are criminals, and some can/will be terrorists. Democrats and Republican are equally missing in action. It is disgusting.
- Poor mexican people want jobs. American businesses want cheap labor. Fine, we both want this, but control the border! Give them temporary worker papers, what ever, but keep track of and control of who comes into the country. This is such a no-brainer I can't believe it never gets suggested :banghead:
Allowing them to walk in and instantly qualify for aid (medical, education, etc...) means we have less money to spend as aid for more needy countries. There are plenty of places in the world I'd rather see my aid money spent than Mexico. We have a right to determine where our tax dollars are spent.
- Mexico is an independent country, and a democracy. They need to start solving their own problems. How about starting by not having babies you can't afford to raise? This is true everywhere, but especially so in countries (like Mexico) that are predominently Catholic. Lets hope the next Pope has the integrety to sell the priceless works of art that the church owns and give the money to these poor needy people, instead of just working to ensure they have more kids that they can't afford (the effect of their no contraception policy).
- The next time you hear someone try to pawn off the "undocumented Immigrant" line, just ask them if that means a rapist is simply an "undocumented husband"?
