Straight Dope about Meximerica

Two things:  1) White supremacists are ignorant.  AND  2) There is nothing racist about protecting your borders.  If those two statements seem incompatible, then you're probably a liberal (but you're still welcome to read our blog).  While we're at it, let's admit that a lot of Mexico is very beautiful.  But unfortunately, much of it is dangerous and poor.  So people leave.  America has become somewhat of a reverse osmotic filter for freedom and opportunity.  Where the concentration of freedom is noticeably deficient, people are crossing the barrier to get to where it is greatest.  You can hardly blame their desire to do so, but neither can you ignore the fact that America cannot always welfare the world into no longer sucking.

I have pity on the Mexicans that desire to leave Mexico to find opportunity and freedom.  But I also have pity on the Americans that must somehow keep creating enough wealth to support not only its grossly obese government but to support a philosophy of ever growing dependency.  As long as welfare is a problem, more Mexicans in the US are going to be a problem too.  A constant influx of Mexicans gives liberals just what they need...fresh voters and new reasons for socialist policies.  In other words, more power.  Other than that, there is little evidence that liberals really care about the plight of the Mexican people whatsoever.

Many Mexicans are leaving Mexico to live just inside the States in a cardboard box because at least here, there's some chance of success.  Living in a box is better than worrying about you or your kids getting shot at or mangled by coked up drug smugglers.  America is strong.  And Mexicans are welcome to immigrate...legally.  Otherwise, all we have is a country that is absorbing the failed and corrupt policies of Mexican government.  America will eventually pop like a balloon that continues to fill with air.  The free people of this land can only take on so much global responsibility added on their individual responsibilities to their own families and neighbors.

Let's also not ignore the fact that if I, an American, were to go to Mexico illegally and try to live there, go to school there, get a job there, etc, I would likely be imprisoned, maybe beaten.  I half expect I would be killed.  So what's this double standard about?  Mexican immigration laws don't welcome me, and yet I'm a white supremacist because I question the validity of illegal immigration?  That's interesting.  Our nation is so accommodating that I have to press buttons to continue in English.  Perhaps it is not only Americans with the problem.  Perhaps it is jealousy.  People want what we have; but rather than create wealth and opportunity in their own country, it's much easier to give up, leave, and try to get a piece of it here. 

My advice to Mexico is to plead with the world to help you clean up the drug problem for good and clean up your own government.  That's going to be tough.  America itself needs help because Americans with drug habits are supporting a lot of the drug commerce.  The drug runners need something better to do than being errand boys for drug lords.  And the drug lords have better weapons than most police forces.  Start working on your own economy.  Build up your own people.  Produce something of value.  If you want to be more like the U.S. use capitalism to boost your wealth.  I'm no preacher, as you can probably tell, but I beg of you to ask the Lord for help because you're going to need Him to get out of the mess you're in.  There, that's something that you have in common with the U.S. right off the bat.
