There's nothing the US can do to make Mexico a stable country.

That has to come from within.

Corruption is ingrained and without changing their culture, Mexico will remain Mexico.

Yeah, that's good to know.

But, unfortunately, it's ALSO a requirement to either be a citizen or legal resident of the US to work here, and THAT surely is not being enforced.

Why should we care if Mexico becomes a stable country or not...?
What's the point in assuring their country is on track, while ours is being flushed down the toilet? This makes no sense to me.

Presidents, congress, senators, governors, etc who focus on other places other than right here should be jailed.

On talk radio they were fuming about TSA will now start checkpoints across America starting with Tennessee to help with NAFTA.

I knew NAFTA was a loaded program for more Police State activities.

and you ask why Tennessee and not Texas since we're on the border? don't ask.

Yeah right. Like that would ever be enforced. They can't speak or read English. Listen to the CB radios sometime.

This is nothing more than more cheap labor. Americans will not be able to compete wage-wise with Mexicans who are accustomed to $0.50 an hour wages, and will jump at the chance to work here for ridiculously low wages.

The corporations are tired of having to pay American truckdrivers middle class wages. That's all it comes down to, and Obama is a total sell-out who doesn't give a damn about jobs for Americans.

Obama is the most vile President we've ever had. period. just blantanly ignoring the facts of what's happening with Illegal Immigrant epidemic.

but here's the kicker. after about say a cool million mexicans come in unchecked, Obama will want to beef up the borders then, because then he'll have his voting base of non-English speaking warm body liberals with voter ID's.

and if something bad happens. like a murder by one of them,, oh well, He'll just blame Bush, Reagan and Clinton for pushing NAFTA in the first place.

Politically it's a win-win situation for Obama.

It's not hard to tell.

Now that is funny, a house divided can not stand.That is the American way, divide and conquer. The goverment uses it, Corporate America uses it, unions uses it and they know as long as they have us at each others throats we are harmless.
But the gentlemen was right, Hoffa is worthless.
