*Allowing foreign nationals to engage in disruptive street demonstrations...
*Allowing foreigners to attempt to influence domestic politics
*Allowing foreign officials to enter Mexico to confer with their constituents who are illegally residing in Mexico....
*Allowing foreign officials to 'scold' Mexican lawmakers, and attempt to 'sway' their votes...
ALSO,
*The idea that giving Mexican citizens preference over foreigners is not evidence of "racism", but merely 'taking care of their own first'....
*The idea that Mexico bears no moral obligation to provide for the poor of other nations---in fact, that Mexico really bears no moral obligation even to its OWN poor citizens....
*Mexico might even be able to sell US Officials on the idea they could save money, if they withdrew all forms of aid to the poor, and instead simply encouraged them to move to Canada, by any means available...Once safely across the border, the US could then begin pressuring and "shaming" the Canadian government to extend services to these displaced Americans....
There's a LOT we could learn from Mexico. Are we willing to listen?..
