Should the USA be proactive on Mexico's problems?

Sherilynne B

I suggest we send them 20,000,000 hard working people who would like to improve their lives. It would help if they spoke the language of the country so they could understand each other. Anybody know where we could find anything like that here in the USA? It would help if the USA didn't really need or want them.

We cannot 'fix' everyone's problem. Why don't we concentrate on the USA?

JayBee

Hell no we don't need to help them, they claim to be the almighty MEXICO, VIVA LA RAZA and all that hooey...

To bad Ray Charles isn't around anymore. That man would give them an earful of patriotic wisdom:

A border fence and enforcement would be faster.

USA

I have a solution.

.50 cal link guns.

Land mines.

Pill boxes.

A few 155mm Mobile Howitzers.

Which if i remember correctly have a range of 247 miles.

So we back em up and we track illegals by satellite.

if the machine guns and mines don't get them the howitzer rounds will.

in the meen time Mexico owes America 6 trillion dollars.

You are in debt to US!

Unless we can change their government it's not going to happen

Mexico's politicians and govt employees are too corrupt...there would have to be almost a complete shut down and start over...but that is impossible...until the people are willing to sacrifice alot to change their govt....they are a lost cause.
For decades someone had a bettter idea..but it remains the same...drug cartels..poverty...slave labor.
I mean..short of the U.S. taking over..no.

I think Mexicans need to be more proactive about improving their living conditions! They should revolt, overthrow the idiots currently running their country into the ground and elect new leaders who actually care and will work to make Mexico a place that no one wants to leave!

Dr Doom

I agree, we can start by getting tough on them and not cutting them any slack. Enough about them being a good neighbor.
A good neighbor, wont dump their unwanted problems across the fence.

irma c

they need to get rid of the drug lords, and stop letting the al quidia in. i got a email from fire society this morn saying the terroist are coming threw mexico, they go to cuba and then go to mexico. a mexican coyott brings them to the usa. it's sad when we help a country they turn on us and bring in the trash.

MikeInRI

What do you think NAFTA was about?

Good Luck!!!

DAR

Here's the thing.

I am not against helping Mexico. They are a neighbor and their wealthy surely seem unwilling to do anything at all for their working folks.

However, it is OUR schools and hospitals failing and closing due to mass immigration above any rational quota. One thing that really pissed me off about the 'disconnect' on the Senate Bill was that there was TONS of money and commitments to increase medical and educational services to MEXICO but NOTHING to help our schools here.

I'd rather we helped both than spend what we are spending on Iraq, but I don't see us ever getting the funding domestically, and the problem under the Senate Bill would have increased.

Have a different bill that stops the problem, and helps OUR schools and hospitals (in more than a 'token' way) and I have no problem helping Mexico.

Mexico needs to step up to the plate and begin fixing thier own problems. The government, military, and police have an unfortunately long history of being rife with corruption. There is very little economic investment in the north, where most illegal immigrants originiate--even the infrastructure is woefully inadequate.

What is a real shame is that Mexcio was the dominant power in the northern hemisphere until about 1850. What happened?

whiz

We have already taken 12 to 20 million of their problems already. Let's return these problems where they came from, then worry about Mexico's problems.

I agree with billybutkus.

Mexico has plenty of money....the problem is the corruption there.

MustangPride

How about we just freaking invade Mexico and make it part of the US then we won't have to complain about immigration LOL
Hell we did it with California and Texas look how well that turned out lol
Obviously I'm kidding for you people itching to give me a thumbs down.

emiller1998

We have our own problems that we should be fixing. We dont need to be fixing Mexico. Its their country let them do it.

Ryan

The reason Mexico is a large source of illegal immigrants is because its a nation with great economic disparities.

We cannot solve Mexico's problems. The Mexican people need to crack down on corruption, implement market friendly economic policies, and improve their education system. We cannot do these things for Mexico, but they can do them for themselves.

divers_godeeper

its time the USA concentrate on just the USA. We have our own problems that keep getting swept under the rug......time for some cleaning.

MsLovely's6thSense

Mexico is not our problem We can't help people who aren't going to come together and fight for themselves or else it'll be very similar to our Iraq situation. We need to start enforcing our current laws. Punish the employers who hire them, close the borders, and stop giving entitlement programs to illegal aliens.

US Citizens First

I agree with Angela C,
I think we need to be more proactive about improving our living conditions! We should revolt, overthrow the idiots currently running our country into the ground and elect new leaders who actually care and will work to make.....OH, sorry I thought we were talking about solving Americas problems with Mexican illegals.
Now I have to go with JayBee and Controversey's statements.

HELP OUR NEIGHBORS? Are you crazy, where do you come up with these ludicrous ideas????(sarcasm)

I agree with Dar, we should have spent those dollars on Mexico instead of Iraq....And yes, US is responsible for much of Mexico's poverty....We have exploited not only Mexico, but most of Latin America, for those resources....These countries are helpless to defend themselves, not to mention all the corrupt leaders, who allow exploitation, for a nice bribe....SAD

Quasi Moto

Just like Bay of Pigs?

A good alternative might be to sell Calif to Mexico.

blind_faith_works

a huge reason for the corruption in Mexico is the United States insatiable appetite for illegal drugs. Make them legal and the power of the cartel is no longer there, and their influence on the government, police, military, etc. is diminished immensely. In that way, we are Mexico's problem.

J Woody

Many of Mexico's problems are caused by the U.S. policies and the dirty business.

TECHX69

What a thoughful and logical alternative. Lol, You'll have all the right wingers writhing on the ground with this,lol.
