It keeps their illegal alien nationals in America and out of mexico. We don't want them and they don't either.

All the better to circumvent US immigration law.

I wonder what would happen if we started to export all of the poor and uneducated US citizens to Mexico by giving them maps on the best way to sneak in and then build US Consulates all over Mexico in order to help our citizens break Mexican law.

Somehow I think they wouldn't be pleased.

There is one Mexican Embassy in the USA...in Washington DC. There are a large number of Mexican consulates in the USA; one reason for that is that there are a large number of Mexicans in the USA...about ten percent of the Mexican population, as a matter of fact, is here. either legally or illegally.

If ten percent of the USA was living in Canada...or Mexico...those countries would no doubt have many more US Consulates than they now do.

Should we 'stop' them from building consulates? HOW? We can't even stop them from coming here illegally...why should we 'stop' them from building consulates?
