Question: What do you think of Mexico, as a country not a government, on a whole?
My thoughts:
"According to the World Bank, Mexico ranks 13th in the world in regard to GDP and has the fourth largest per capita income in Latin America just after Argentina, Chile and Costa Rica, and it is firmly established as an upper middle-income country."
Many of the people who are coming here illegally are not really representing the best of their country. They are representing the worst. The people who live in the rural and poverty-stricken areas.
Just because somebody lives in Mexico, it doesn't mean they are poor and uneducated. 92% of the population can read and write and .3% of the population has HIV/AIDS. The average life expectancy is 75 (source: https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/mx.html#People) From what I've gathered, the people who are here illegally are the ones who are in need of the most help. However, the population of Mexico, as a whole, doesn't seem to be AS bad.
