Not necessarily. People have different needs. Some people physically need or can only work seasonally or part time jobs. Some people just weren't born with the skills to do something else. Some people enjoy busy work and don't want a thinking job. Then there are those people who have messed up pretty bad in life and that may be their best or only opportunity. We need jobs for all of those people. I'd rather they be working than supporting them.

I am sometimes surprised by the level of comments I have read. Mexico is a thriving country and just as the films show dangerous neighborhoods, it also has industrialized, rich and developed regions, not for something we are power in Latin America.

Undoubtedly, Trump's policies make us very nervous, I lost about 5% of my savings on the stock market because of the volatility and it hurts a lot. In the same way the weight has been very affected. I know that the US economy is much bigger than Mexico's and it's a fight between an ant and a mouse.

Trump's plans are leading Mexico to a strong economic crisis. I know and maybe I am one of the few people living in this country who is aware that it is not Trump's fault but corruption in this government.

Mexico has not been interested in its people and the easiest way out is to encourage emigration to the US because there is no employment for all here.


The question of the wall is defensible and valid since the USA can do what it wants within its territory, but to force Mexico to pay it is laughable.

The American system is complex and whether we want to or not, we need illegal workers because thanks to their low salaries, even below those established by law, companies can be profitable and therefore hire them.

A total deportation of illegal, would be hard for the United States. Company costs would rise and the margin would fall and perhaps have to lay off other legal employees to survive.

Many companies are coming to Mexico to reduce their labor costs. Have you noticed that the American auto industry is under threat? Asian cars are eating the American market. Ford and the others must compete with good prices and that is why they bring their plants to Mexico.

USA like any other developed country in the world, should focus on services and not cheap labor, that leave it to Mexico.

Finally if Trump decides to return to the USA to all its industry, as I said at the beginning their costs will rise a lot and they will be less competitive, in addition there will be a strong unemployment in Mexico .... and guess what?

Again there will be a huge exodus of people who will seek to work there illegally. Read statistics, gentlemen, read books, learn macroeconomics, not only follow the headlines of a demagogue like Trump who has ****ed the Americans defrauding students with their universities, buying metals from China, not paying taxes ...

And not only that, many will also join the drug trade and there will be more problems and more violence and for that factor many people will want to flee to the USA.

I know that Mexico is an uncomfortable country for Americans, that the government of Mexico is corrupt. I just hope that for the first time in life the Mexicans will come together and we will reach an agreement that will benefit both of them and not be an agreement that will punish us.
That post only encourages moving on you and your country.

Too bad. Still not our problem.

I'm just going to let this statement sit right here.
