If Mexico spent as much energy on fixing their country as they do trying to wheedle/beg/demand from the US?

Question

They wouldn't have any problems anymore?

How do you fix a country with a limited amount of money? Easy, the old-fashioned way, the way US settlers built their houses, the way a lot of things used to be done before it came to the point of having to pay some kid 12 bucks an hour to stand behind a register. WORK, as in 'manual labor' that stuff that the illegal aliens are supposed to be so good at. What I can't understand is why Mexico is willing to stand there and watch their able-bodied workforce run away from home. They need roads, they need schools, houses, hospitals, all that great stuff, well they've got an economy, let's see some work...

Answer 1

I agreel It costs money to move to another country, to hire a coyote to smuggle you in, to pay people to do things for you so you won't get caught. Add children to it and for what it cost to come here they could have moved to a large city in Mexico or wherever they came from and rented a house and got a job THERE.
They could put all that energy into fixing THEIR country instead of complaining about OUR country because we refuse to continue to allow them to suck billions of $$ out of OUR economy and bring OUR country down to their level of a cesspool.

Answer 2

You've Got To Think Outside The Box

Mexico IS Fixing Mexico

Mexican Citizens
Are wheedling / begging / demanding from the USA
On Behalf Of Their Beloved Nation
(Fixing Mexico)

39 Billion Tax Free US Dollars Annually In Remittances
(Fixing Mexico)
Endless Migration Through Porous Borders To Reclaim Territory
(Fixing Mexico)

US Taxpayers
Supporting Mexican Citizens
From Birth Through Education
Through Medical Claims And Affirmative Action
(Fixing Mexico)

The Only People Benefitting
Are The MEXICAN People
And THEIR Government
(Fixing Mexico)

The US Taxpayers Are Shouldering The Burden Of
Birthing
Feeding
Housing
Educating
A Workforce of 20 Million People
Which Is The Equivalent Of
Modern Day Virtual Slaves
(To Fix Mexico)

They Are Working In The USA
And Supporting Mexicos Economy With The Reward
(39 Billion Tax Free US Dollars)(Fixing Mexico)
Instead Of Supporting The American Economy
With That Same 39 Billion

The Problem Is That
THEIR Method Of "Fixing Mexico"
Is Destroying The American Economy

Wealthy farmers and landowners
have always considered slavery as a birthright.
Since the Civil War, it has been denied to them,

But they got it back
with the WTO GATS - FTAA - NAFTA - CAFTA - agreements.

As An Example :

Mexico Has AGREED To Export
Her Poverty And Crime (Her SLAVES) To The USA
In Exchange For 39 Billion Annually
In Remittances To Her Economy
(Fixing Mexico)

And Our Government (Corporate America)
Graciously Accepted The Proposal
Knowing It Would Only INCREASE Their Profits
At The Taxpayers Expense

They (Immigrants) are Being Used in a Political Game,
and what This Country's Government is doing to Them
is an Insult to Them,
but they aren't bright enough to figure that out....

??Or ARE They??

Reconquista Anyone ??

And apparently
MANY AMERICANS aren't bright enough
to figure that out either.

And therein lies the strategy
for addressing the question of illegal aliens,
the so-called ‘guest worker’ programs,
the sale of American citizenship for profit
and the destruction of the lives of American citizens
who are being crushed
financially,
emotionally
and spiritually by the WTO trade agreements

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing."
--Edmund Burke

We have to start calling it what it is -
Slave Trade
and we need to dig out our blue uniforms
and fight the war against the Slavers once again.

Answer 3

Pres. Bush and Vincente Fox had a win-win situation. Mexico's poor come to the U.S. for jobs and social services and Fox didn't have to deal with his poor. They send a lot of money back to family members in Mexico, I'm talking billions, not millions of dollars. This goes back into their economy. Another win for Mexico. We got cheap slave labor for big agri-businesses and other businesses who didn't want to pay min. wage or provide benefits, so Bush's business cronies got a good deal. It put a downward pressure on wages and benefits for American workers which is also a win for big business. I will admit, however, that there are American's who believe some of the jobs typically done by Mexicans are "below" them. It maybe wouldn't be below American workers if they got a guaranteed minimum wage and benefits. We should be careful not to blame the victims, the Mexicans who come over here. I don't begrudge anyone seeking out a better life for themselves and their children, especially if they were living in abject poverty before. We need to go after the administrations who allow and encourage this to happen and go after unscrupulous employers who exploit slave labor.

Answer 4

Every country has its own problems that are hard to fix. Including the U.S., and Israel, which are two very powerful nations. Theres no quick fix for nations problems.

Answer 5

You are right on target.

But it's too easy for them to take a hand out from the US. they learned it by watching their president, if you can call him that, more like a dictator.
