YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

I found this youtube on how Mexico treats illegal aliens from Central America very enlightening. Maybe we need to have more information on how Mexico guards its own borders, especially the Southern one. And an expose of how illegals are treated in Mexico.

3:15 to 3:30 on the video sums it all up. Great video. Disgusting, but a good watch nonetheless.

Great video! I'm so sick of seeing the media only sympathize and stick up for the illegal agenda. It's refreshing to see the other side of things. I bet a lot of Americans would have a much different opinion if they knew these facts.

Very true, but you will always have that damn media painting a different picture of illegals. And as usual, some wittle sheep, will still buy into what the media is selling.
I would only hope in seeing the other side of things, that many Americans would change their outlook and feelings if they truly knew these facts.

US funds Mexico for this treatment to the tune of $1.5 B.

Quote:
The "Mérida Initiative" is a multi-billion dollar effort by the United States government to assist Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean in their fight against drug trafficking organizations. Proposed under President Bush and implemented under President Obama, the program has provided close to $1.8 billion in assistance to the region to date. About $1.5 billion has gone to Mexico, $300 million to Central America and $40 million to the Caribbean.

When the Mexican government steps in on illegal immigration issues...I think the US should counter punch with our own questions about human rights and rights of undocumented folks in Mexico...maybe even interview some illegals caught in Mexico, and see how they were treated. How many have been offerred amnesty? How were their kids treated? How about medical treatment? Food?

E tu?
