My mother told me they are practically begging people to visit Mexico. I wouldn’t go now even if they offered free flights and hotel accommodations, and threw in a few grand to sweeten the deal.

How can anyone but La Raza think this is good? They don't care what becomes of their own country, it's all about lust for the American dollars.

Hypocrits will proudly wave their Mexican flags but will never do the slightest thing for their country but encourage all the rest of their fellow citizens to abandon their cities and towns and get to the easy life here.

What becomes of Mexico's fourth largest city when the rest of them head over to the USA? And that is becoming the only alternative as any with money and education have abandoned the city like rats leaving a sinking ship.

So much for their Mexican pride. It's just too easy to have it in the USA only.
IMO, there's more hate than hypocrisy. Hate for Americans is one thing that they know they're carrying.

Then I say to those turned away, "Sorry 'bout your luck but keep your azz home." As much as it sucks and I know it does, life isn't fair. It sure hasn't been fair to me, and that's just the way the cookie crumbles, compadre.

I wonder what would happen if Canada were to get overrun by millions of needy, entitled, uneducated, and unskilled third world people with their hands out. How would you feel then?

They also come because it is so very easy for them to do so. There is essentially no border enforcement. Not whatsoever.
