Since when did this suddenly become a thing? Trump has started all this America vs Mexico nonsense and that's why Mexico has been defensive lately...and rightfully so
it's not so much "pick a side" as it is "Trump is a moron."
Exactly this. Trump forced the Mexican president's hand, and the president told Trump to take a hike. Trump is not God and he's not everyone's boss. I say good for President Nieto for standing up to him.
Why would I be on Mexico's side if I am an American? I don't hire illegal employees, don't use the illegal drugs brought into the country, see both disabled Americans and older Americans having benefits cut to finance the ever growing illegal alien population, watching Americans trying to make a living and being replaced by illegal aliens in both blue and white collar jobs, flood our market with produce when we have our own grown within proper guidelines...........realize that Mexico encourages their citizens to come to USA illegally: http://www.nytimes.com/2005/01/06/wo...n-us.html?_r=0
Now why the heck would I be on Mexico's side? Anyone that supports Mexico, needs to apply for citizenship. I would discourage anyone from illegally entering their country as their penalties are very stiff on illegal aliens in their country!

And just what do you mean by that? Should we continue to go easy on the Americans who hire cheap illegal labor, the ones who actually create the problem?
Unfortunately Mexico is in a tough position. Most of the country is very impoverished. Poverty easily leads to corruption. And actually, corruption often leads to poverty. Imagine what the US would look like if 90% of it was just like Detroit.
We should feel sorry for the people who are born in Mexico and have to live in poverty.
I DON'T feel sorry for Mexico or the rest of LatAm at all. I say that cause Poland was torn to pieces about 1940 and it has blown past ANY LatAm country in wealth and rule of law. NO LatAm country has suffered with any kind of real war in 100 years.
If Poland can rise up from pretty much being burnt to the ground AND dealing with commies till about 25 years ago; why not LatAm including Mexico?

If Mexico was so great, you'd think immigrants would stop and live there but they don't.
Did it ever occur to you that Mexico should be doing something so their own citizens are safe? Instead they let these people kill innocent people, rape women, demand a passage fee on their way to the U.S. You obviously support it too.
Mexico is not a good neighbor. Unwilling to do anything to stop the flow of illegal immigrants into this county. We are not getting their doctors and scientists, but the poorest of the poor. Mexico doesn't want them, so I guess they figure, 'good riddance" - but hey, they sure do protect their southern border from the poor trying to get into Mexico.
Hypocrites!
