One of the first questions to be asked has to be, why are there not more good employment opportunities in Mexico, a major exporter of oil?
It isn't like Southern California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas are significantly better places geographically than the Mexican states a few meters south. Why are our states prosperous, and theirs less so?
Perhaps corruption and inequitable distribution of wealth at home are the reasons. Can we help fix that?
What is the Mexican government doing to remedy this problem, while we absorb huge numbers of their unemployed/underemployed and provide social services to them at little or no cost? Is this supposed to be a permanent assistance program? When do the American citizens who are here legally get to vote on this plan?
Would the government of Mexico continue to have the lax attitude and overt enablement of the border crossers if we were returning well-armed and well-trained anti-government insurgents to their territory?
