It appears that the board swallowed a post of mine... Here it is again.

Actually, you've got me out of context there... Drugs in America isn't Mexico's problem in the least. It's an American problem... Especially considering the appetite for Drugs that America has. I merely point it out as an opportunity that Mexican drug lords have in this country. And the solution that I provided for this is for the American government to take the profit out of illegal drug trade by controlling it themselves.

In case you haven't noticed, big companies take advantage of EVERYONE. They just do it on a far grander scale in Mexico. And I guess there's not a lot you can do about it, because if you demand higher wages, they'll just move their operations elsewhere. Of course, where would the Mexican people be if these companies weren't offering them jobs. They may not pay much, but its certainly better than nothing.

DING DING DING!... There we go. Now you're talking. At least you recognize that there is American influence in Mexico, and it is part of the reason they are hurting. See? That didn't hurt so bad.

As for the drugs, you simply say the US should "control its drug problem." Duh. And how do you propose to do this? My answer, if you recall, is the legalization of all drugs, bringing them under legal control. I've mentioned that a couple of times - you must have been too busy talking about hate and racism to notice it.

Actually, if you were paying attention, then you would have noticed that I gave you credit for it.

Of course, these issues are just red herrings. You blame us, and a lack of resources, for everything. The poor Mexicans are just victims, of the Unitd States, and have no responsibility at all for the mess their country has become. That's ridiculous.
|
I do? Please give me an example if you are going to make a broad sweeping statement like that. I've done no such thing. I've already taken the steps to identify the source of the symptoms in America. I said nothing of illegal immigrants being victims. Just opportunists. A lot like the illegal canadian immigrants that we all seem to be batting a blind eye toward.

To me it seems that overpopulation is Mexico's biggest problem, and the blatantly simple solution is the implemention of population control. How about a little birth control?
|
Actually, it's a cultural issue. Mexico is a very religious culture... particularly toward Catholicism. They are taught as adolescents that birth control subverts the will of God, and is therefore a sin. So, no, it's not as easy as you make it sound. But we can agree that population control is of need. It's easy to identify symptoms... But if you don't go the extra steps to find the sources, you are just spinning the hampster wheel.

I have a certain degree of sympathy for poor people, but people who can't even support themselves and then produce child after child after child and then whine that they need help feeding them strike me as hideously irresponsible and stupid.

Or very religious. Again, it's a cultural and religious issue.

And speaking of taking responsibility, again it should be the responsibility of MEXICAN CITIZENS to fix their corrupt and disfunctional government. Even someone as bent as you can't really believe that every single problem in the Mexican government is the result of American bribes.
|
I never said that every single problem in the Mexican government is the result of American bribes... But there are plenty of problems that arise from the American bribes... And these problems lead to the symptoms of illegal immigration. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction... Yin and yang, so to speak.
