Remember twista6002, simple minds need simple explanations, you need to dumb it down for him.

It's not the job of a U.S. citizen to round them up and deport them. You htink you can come up with something that makes sense? You got one more try.

Considering that Mexico's per capita income is ca. $14K a year; that nation is not poor. If anything; it is in the top 10% of wealthy countries of the world. What Mexico needs is a 'Martin Luther King' to help the (mostly Indian/Mestizo) peons demand their rights from the (mostly) White elite-----------Carlos Slim is an example of teh latter.

I don't entirely understand the politics and socialeconomics of Mexico but I do know that millions of workers either had wages slashed or lost jobs as a result of NAFTA, and it's trickled down for 2 generations now. They either have the choice of getting a sweatshop job (which are almost all filled) or come to America.

Talk about going out of your way to play the "not a racist" card.

Har har har
If you are that offended over the USA reasserting control over its borders; there is no one holding you here so you are free to move elsewhere.

Exactly! Maybe these critical thinkers can learn a thing or two about causality by watching the video I posted... or not.

The answers are yes and yes. I was in the 82nd Airborne from 1987-1991. I was deployed to Panama for Operation Just cause and Saudi Arabia for Operation Desert Storm.....but please go right ahead and tell us all what your take on the subject is...I'd love to hear it.

The way that Mexico is imploding courtesy of its drug wars..............you may just get your wish----------especially as our southern border is being closed and fortified.

NAFTA was a mistake for Mexico anyway-----------it is the height of foolishness to bring in a country whose standard of living is significantly lower into a club of highly affluent nations.
