Are we willing to wall off Canada as well to keep terrorists out?
I can assure you that there aren't that many canadiens that even WANT to live in the US, beyond specific opportunities, and that of those canadiens crossing the border, it's done probably 90+% done legitimately and through the proper channels.
Hell, Canada probably has to worry more about illegal entry, because the drinking age is lower here...
Not to mention, walling off the mountains and lakes that seperate the two... and that the border to the north is at least twice as long.
Seriously, why shouldn't we fix Mexico?
I'd say cause the US is pretty much bankrupt as is.
We send money to places like Egypt, etc among others. Yes, Egypt! Where, the GSJ (Global Salafi Jihad) started. Their leadership is Egyptian except for Bin Laden. You can blame them more for 9-11 than the Saudis.
Ya, we should stop funding them too.
Thats a piss poor bull**** excuse. We have done this to ourselves and we keep letting it happen, dude. Blaming **** on others does squat. The fact that they continue to cross into the US in ever increasing numbers (what over 12,000,000 in the last couple of years.) Illegals know if they get here they can get lost in the system and at the same time get a permit to drive, work with very few questions asked, their little boys and girls go to school for free and now they are elligable for state aid for some of the best universities around. Illegals are given welfare, food stamps etc. WHO in the flying **** would not want to come over!! Geez, be reasonable lol
The bottom line is we can't afford to notfix Mexico
No, the bottom line is that we let the illegals know that they can't stay here illegally, then those illegals that had a taste of freedom will fight for it in Mexico... if they take the country back then at least it won't be a failed state, and if not, then well... at least we won't have to worry about them anymore. That's harsh, but really... if we don't allow them to fix themselves then they will drag us down to their level.
Oh ****...Its too early for Godwin's law of nazi analogies. Perhaps, later on
Seriously... Mecha, La Raza, and La reconquista groups, they are essentially calling for the acting out of the plan of san diego. If you've never heard of it I wouldn't be surprised... but it's basically the plan to take back 'mexico'... as in something like the greater part of the area between Texas and California. And to kill all white men over the age of 16.... the weapon of choice for that slaughter being the machete... now, if you heard about that movie coming out called 'machete'.
You can search youtube, for the mexican student rallies and all that... so you really honestly don't have to take my word for it.
You don't freaking know me. What the ****?!?
The problem is that we promise to be the land of opportunity but deny it way too readily to those who seek it.
To me, one of the easiest ways to fix the problem is to spread our beliefs on good pay for good work around the world so our jobs stop fleeing to places like Mexico where a factor worker gets paid less than a restaurant worker here.
Seriously, when a factory worker in Mexico is getting paid $3/hour, but the same person could be a line cook here for $7.50/hour - what the **** would you do?
If they are illegal aliens, they most likely won't get minimum wage either.
It's pure and simple economics. We're spreading our corporatism; but we're not spreading our message for respect for the worker. Crap, we're trying to tear down the respect for the worker in this nation.
Good hard working men and women fought long and hard for a fair pay and decent hours and standards for working conditions... we've squandered that by allowing these companies to move offshore, or hire slave labour.
The solution a lot of people who want to build walls and shoot women and children here want to propose is to turn our nation into another Mexico. If we lower our worker conditions to the level of theirs, sure, they'll stop coming. That's a good solution.
Really?!?!? The founding fathers fought and died to provide this country with the milk and honey, and a system of government that was powerful enough to be effective enough, but not so powerful that it got away from it's people and infringed on their freedom.
Now, because some cesspit of corruption south of us can't support the weight of it's own corruption and WE HAVE TO GIVE UP OUR standard of living?!?!?!
What kind of drugged out hippie view of the world is that??? No, seriously... that's like trying to guilt americans into feeling bad that we've allowed the people to come to our country that acted as the steam valve so the mexican people's energy is on 'escape' from the conditions, rather then to FIGHT to IMPROVE their conditions.
IT IS OUR FAULT that Mexico is now a failed state, and in order to REMEDY this situation we need to send all the illegal aliens (70+% are from mexico, and most of the 30% are people that came legaly but overstayed). By forcing them to undergo the proper route to citizenship, they will realize that it's not easy to get in legally and their energy will eventually get redirected towards their corrupt government. It's called TOUGH LOVE, they'll appreciate it.
In the meantime however, we have an invasion of lawless individuals that have invaded the country with the intention of selling drugs and killing anyone that tries to stop them.... if they were millitary trained, coming in up to 1000 / day, we'd call it an army. If they wore turbins we'd be talking about where to setup the new parking lot.... THIS IS a real JUST WAR... we are justified with sending the army in to clear out the areas most affected... take the line of tanks that took the only Iraqi road and have them do a long patrol of the southern border. That's at least a legitimate excuse, wars aren't supposed to be on the other half of the planet to secure resources, it's meant to be when some tribe comes and tries to take your women and children as slaves, the men are supposed to get up and stop that from happening.
People don't care about that though, people just care that there's the game on, some beer, and some sex...
The mexicans have lost the wars that laid the claim on the land.... it's been long decided, but now it seems they want it back. This is one of those times where we should all be saying 'try me'. And I'm not one that calls for wars lightly, the fact of the matter if you think it's all women and children, you're at the least deluding yourself... not only is it false, but if the mother is teaching her son how they are illegals in their own stolen land, that boy grows up to take on the fight, and his already within the gates.
I can rant on this one for a long time.
