Mexico is incapable of taking care of its own people. The massive waves of refugees fleeing this impoverished, corrupt, 3rd world nation is so very tragic. Desperate times call for desperate measures and the United States MUST do something to help these people immediately. Their government is incapable or unwilling to help their people. Their government encourages it’s poor to leave the country without offering solutions for them at home. What kind of a government for the people is that? The U.S. must go in there with the Army and Marines to restore Law and Order. The magnificent wealth of the U.S. could restore roads, build schools, hospitals, and promote economic growth. The once gorgeous country has become nothing more than a big garage pit with their people living in foul squalor. The human rights violations are unbearable! The country is not even beloved by its own people! Call your Senators NOW. The U.S. would be doing them a great favor. Intelligent responses only please.

This is what i have to say about that... David M. Bresnahan really summed it all up in this letter to the president...\n\nMR. PRESIDENT, I'M HEADED TO MEXICO\n\nDavid M. Bresnahan\nApril 1, 2006\nNewsWithViews.com\n\nDear President Bush:\n\nI'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family,\nand I would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across\nthe border from the U.S. into Mexico, and I need to make a few\narrangements. I know you can help with this.\n\nI plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports,\nimmigration quotas and laws. I'm sure they handle those things the\nsame way you do here.\n\nSo, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that\nI'm on my way over? Please let him know that I will be expecting\nthe following:\n\n1. Free medical care for my entire family.\n\n2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might\nneed, whether I use them or not.\n\n3. All government forms need to be printed in English.\n\n4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.\n\n5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.\n\n6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.\n\n7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.\n\n8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to government services.\n\n9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to learn local traffic laws.\n\n10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak English.\n\n11. I plan to fly the U.S. flag from my house top, put flag decals on my car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any complaints or negative comments from the locals.\n\n12. I would! Also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.\n\n13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on the economy.\n\nI know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for all the people who come to the U.S. from Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.\n\nHowever, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting with your V.P.\n\nThank you so much for your kind help.\n\nSincerely,\n\nDavid M. Bresnahan\n2006 David M. Bresnahan - All Rights Reserved

DING!\n\nThey have an economy of over a trillion dollars.  They have a wide variety of jobs - Mexico is doing fine there now.  They send people here to colonize.  Google La Reconquista.\n\nThey have to settle the distance between rich and poverty just like the rest of us, not send their citizens backed by their government to reclaim American land and have our tax dollars support them.\n\nSealborders is waking up!!! Congradulations!!!! Email me sometime!!!\n\nIf you don't think that I wouldn't pick crops all day or clean peoples houses without shame, you don't know me and my fellow Americans!!\n\nAnd the more opportunities in America...show me!  I've got tons of friends fighting for a better life!

Mexico is not a poor country, far from it ... they have oil, minerals, and a very healthy export situation ... what is wrong with it is that it is corrupt!  Mexico could well afford to look after its citizens, but it's more convenient to send them over to the U.S. and let the Americans foot the bill!  Don't forget that the 20 billion no doubt untaxed dollars these aliens send home to Mexico form a big part of their national income.  Who foots the bill?  You, the American taxpayer, does .... it is also not fair to compare dollar for dollar what these people earn ... a dollar goes considerably further in Mexico than it does here ... We couldn't exist on the money some greedy companies are paying the illegals, but that money buys one heck of a lot in Mexico ....

To Frell with Mexico, Iraq and the rest of the world. We have our own problems in this country that aren't being addressed and people are to blind and to stupid to see it. \n\nIllegal’s are doing the jobs that we as (99.99%) Americans don't want to do. Most Americans are lazy and have no idea what a good day of hard labor is and how it makes you feel before, during, and after. I have worked the fields and know what it is like. I know where my fruit and vegetables come from and what is involved in getting them to the tables of America.\n\nWe like are fore-fathers are being tax with out representation. In state after state after state our money is being spent with nothing to show after it is spent. In Washington State, the elected governor was not allowed to take office because of the DNC bitched moaned and groaned because they didn't win and they went to court to get there losing candidate in office. When that person got in there, they raised the gas tax by 9 cents a gallon, raised vehicle tabs by instituting a weight class tax and put a tax penalty on all land subdivision under, in most counties of $20,000 per subdivision.\n\nThe National Guard, which was to take the place of the local militia and State protection, are being used for Federal use in places and ways that the regular Army is suppose to be used for. The men and women of our armed forces are acting selflessly in the support of a government and a majority of people that it is not worthy of serving.  \n\nAnd Mexico does not have as much oil as you might think. Venezuela has more oil than Mexico does. You want to go to war for oil go there. There are better technologies to run you cars and trucks with than Oil. Water for one. Electricity is another. People need to start doing for this country first and for most. Seal the boarders and start with America First.

it's not right because innocent people that are trying to get by are being sent away.  We should have mexico become one of our states.

They are lame excuses that pro illegal immigrant supporters have. I always wonder if they have toilets in Mexico or any other country for the pro illegal supporters to be using that as a definitive response. Do they not have lawns, restaurants or toilets? Why can't Mexico and other countries improve their economy for its people? It is not hard to clean up after yourself, so those responses are, well, dumb.

They shouldn't.This country is not overcrowded.Even if the whole country of Mexico came over they would still be a minority.This country needs them.Ppl are scared because this country and countries all over the world are changing.There is nothing anyone can do about it.Sorry guys.

I actually agree with you, though I wouldn't put it in your terms.  I do think the United States should SERIOUSLY open talks with Mexico about annexing it...that is...making it a territory of the United States like Puerto Rico and Guam,  though not making it a "state" per se.\n\nWhen over 50% of the population of an entire COUNTRY does not want to live there and are trying to immigrate to the U.S., there is a serious problem.  \n\nI'm sympathetic to the economic problems that Mexican citizens are facing, but the U.S. has it's own problems, as well.  NO ONE IN THE WORLD has the right to just go to another country and expect "rights."  Every country...and I do mean EVERY country--even Mexico--has their own immigration rules and laws.  The U.S. is no exception, and I'm not sure why Mexican citizens feel they have the right to simply ignore our laws?\n\nThere is a problem and a lot of those people need help, if the government of Mexico is ill-equipped to help their own people, and they are insistent that flooding the U.S. is the only solution, then I say open the U.S. Mexico border; make Mexico a U.S. territory subject to all of our laws and taxes and give them protection under our military system.  \n\nI have no doubt this would be a mess, but honestly, what the heck are we supposed to do when the majority of Mexicans prefer to live in the U.S. and we can't stop them from flooding across the borders illegally?  It would be better to just open the borders so that citizens AND businesses can cross without restrictions, and that way over time, there will be less incentives to come north.

Economic problems require economic solutions. Mexico has used the US as a safety release valve for too long now, it's time to pressure them to improve the lives of the people there.

Just goes to show how little regard these people have for human life.   The illegals will continue to come whether the water tanks are there or not...if their own countries would not LET them leave illegally (I don't see Mexico trying to do anything on THEIR side to keep them or enforcing THEIR laws for leaving the country) while I have never been much of a humanitarian...hell I'm as likely to bust someones head in as not...BUT I have also seen someon dye of thirst and it is a gruesome sight...and even I cruel as I am would not inflict that one any but those I though truly deserved such suffering, dying of thirst is even worse than dying of hunger...far worse...and anyone that would facilitate such a thing should have to be let come close to death in taht way just to know what they are doing to someone esle...Entering the country is NOT a capital offence and these men have no right to impose it on the illegals...there are legal measn to deal with them...and they are supposed to be enforcing that...not trying to torture people, some of whom are children.

The US is not a great nation because the government has lost sight of its citizens inalienable rights.  I am not going to use government so freely, but the Bush Administration is so used to demanding and ordering people to do what they want.  We are not a good nation because we have problems here at home with poverty, poor education, homelessness and so many more negative things and the Administration is focusing more on forcing other countries to be more democratic when we are turning into a communist government, so to speak.  The government is dwindling in its superiority because they do not stand behind their citizen.  They would rather our nation be deprived and under privileged.  I say this because who is top priority to our government: the rich, foreigners and other countries that do not follow the advice and direction of the US. The US actually pays foreigners to come to the US and go to school or open businesses.  What about us...the tax paying citizens not illegal aliens...we need help to live comfortably but our only recourse is to gain public assistance that hinders you from advancing economically.Our jobs are over stressed with work and under paid for the output of work.  We as citizens let this happen because we ignored the Bush Administration stealing not 1 but 2 presidential elections.

Yeppers, november can't get here fast enough...and if the democrats have their hats on straight, they'll be pushing for nailing the damn border shut. TIGHT. Americans are getting robbed, that's all there is to it, the politicians got us coming, and going, it's time for reform, and for people to reclaim their lives, their wallets, their freedoms, and stop letting the hispanic lobby from trying to usurp our national independence. They're actively involved in our government, as you just illustrated, and Mexico needs to stand up, and wipe its' own ass instead of living off the United States Of America. Let's de-globalize a bit, and let the rest of the world take care of itself, for a change. If they can't, well, sucks to be them...

heres the thing it seems every time you put a olive branch out there for them they want the whole tree ,does  anyone  else see this? you say  ok we will make the ones here legal and they say no, then couisn carlos cant come ,ok then you say ok you go home and then we will give work visas and they say no we want to be american what the freakin flip you cant make them happy they want mexico and america  read this\n\nShould the American people support an invasion? Why is "Homeland Security" doing very little about the problem, telling border agents to run the other way from illegals? Does this make sense that we should give tens of millions of illegal aliens aid and comfort at taxpayer expense while we are suffering an increased crime rate, high unemploment rates. all for a people that hate and despise us simply for wanting our laws enforced?\nand for wanting our borders enforced ?\n\nWHO will pay for these millions of illegals on welfare when there are NO REAL DECENT JOBS left for anyone here to support a family? If the Mexicans kill off the current working class, then WHO will support THEM? Let's not forget the auto parts plant moved from Detroit to Mexico just a few years ago, that was then moved back to Detroit about a year later. Why? Because after 12 noon they did almost no work. Several auto production lines were in danger of shutdown because sub-assembly parts were late. Is this the future of America? \n\nwhen they are legal they will want higher pay .they will want more goverment aid,more schools will have to be built as more will be able to come and go freely .in short they will have two countries! and we will be overpopulated and there will not be enough jobs  they need to protest their own country make demands to mexico you know that ole saying some men you just cant help, well this is what that feels like. if we give them jobs in mexico it corrupt and will do no good they need to improve their own land instead of looking to us for everything its time they grow up as a nation  and fend for themselves we cant bare the brunt of a whole country being here saying take care of us !

How about that we are trying to fix the syptoms and not going to the true source of the problem. WE can spend billions for ever and ever and the problem will still be there. Wouldn`t it be smarter and cheaper to go straight to the FACT of why are these people coming here ?? ANSWER:: they are not happy and able to provide a good living for there families in Mexico (lets tell the truth about 99% of the people we are talking about ) Why don`t we HELP Mexico give their people a better chance to make a good living (and not by moving our jobs there)I`m sure if given a choice their people wouldn`t want to leave their families and come here if they could prosper in their own country... It might cost us some money at first for many years even but it would be better than FOREVER battling this problem that will never truely be fixed othrewise.Then the problems with the other illegals would be(dealing in a much smaller group of people) easier to deal with and could be more of an organized prosses.Instead of having to keep track of 3 million people it might could be 3 thousand.

Be careful friend. Talk like that in here can get you called a racist. Illegal immigration has ruined the town I've lived in most of my life. We can't even take care of our own in this country, but we are supposed to give everything we have to the illegals? We have no health care for so many here, too many are homeless and/or unemployed. All I can really say is would you feed your last bit of food to a stranger and let your kids go hungry?

thank you number one question in my book ! the root of the problem is mexico we gave amnesty before and it didn't work and it wont work now they need some tough love ! you know that old saying give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man how to fish and he will eat for life . well that's what they need to do learn as a country stand for themselves if they would unite for this, its a crazy thought i know but it just might work. we cant just keep taking more and more and think there will be no  social , economic ,population ramifications that's stupid !!!

Hell no! Mexico is trying to take over the USA as it is. Look how many are SNEAKING across the borders now, if we were to give them duel citizen ship, that would be a night mare, then who is next? Canada? I say lets keep the USA as she is, the proud, the free and the home of the brave. Not the nation that has open door policy, (Hey everyone we don't care how many come over and take over our nation, just walk right thru the door and its yours for the taking)  come on, whats next? This is our America, our country, not theirs, they already have their own, why give ours up so easily?
