Why does Mexico stridently object to every action by U.S. citizens to protect U.S. borders from illegal entrie

Question

By illegal aliens?

Answer 1

Easy... can be summed up in two reasons

#1.) Illegals form a significant flow of money to the Mexican economy (or politicans' pockets, same thing).
This is the thing that should dispel those lies that illegals are good for the USA, because if it were a good thing those illegals would at least keep all the money in the USA, but instead all those dollars are sent to Mexico.

#2.) The more poor and dissatisfied that remain in Mexico, the more likely revolution or reform will take place as they eventually realize that they need to wake up and that their easy ticket is not easy anymore.
I do not need to tell you that this would be bad for the current crop of corrupt imbeciles running Mexico.

Answer 2

They rightfully object because they see these actions as the US pointing a finger at them, and blaming them, for the entire problem. They do bear responsibility, and blame, but so does our own schizophrenic approach to the issue of immigration. As a nation we continously send mixed signals "we need your workers" but "we don't want you here" and "we want to work closer with Mexico" yet "we don't trust you"

Time for a real comprehensive solution -in fact it is way past time. I hope those of you who so boldly condem Mexico and vilify the illegals will get off the sofa and force the politicians and industries involved to do something about that side of the problem. Write letters and boycott the companies whose business depends on large numbers of illegals. Show your concern by taking intelligent action to solve the problem. Don't use the illegals as punching bags but then be too cowardly to deal with the biggest contributing factor. In fact, get those brave minutemen to surround these big companies to block access rather than acting like rambo to some half dead family crossing the frontier.

Answer 3

Easy to figure out. The money sent back to Mexico by the law breakers amounts to a large percentage of their economy. Without the money from the USA Mexico would be much poorer.

Also when there are too many people either kill some off or let them leave to go to another place. You know the answer to that one.

Even give them help getting to the border but charge them for it. Good way to make a lot of money.

There are other reasons as well.

Answer 4

It is a mis-conception that the government of mexico has any concern for it's people. The reason is that the illegals are used by the government of mexico to fatten their bank accounts. The more money that is made in America the better off those who are running mexico (into the ground) will live. They dont seem to realize though that every single American dollar that makes it's way into mexico serves only to devalue the already patheticaly weak peso, thereby hastening the plight of the mexican workers dreams of an economy stable enough to help the abundant poor. When Americans have their way as far as immigration is concerned it will shine a poor light on the effectivness of the government of mexico.

Answer 5

39 Billion Untaxed US Dollars Per Year

Second Only To Mexicos Oil Export Revenues




Increasing the number of Mexicans
working illegally in the United States
is among Mexico's highest foreign policy objectives.

Answer 6

Mexico wanted to have free exchange with the US for economic gains and it is the reason why it objects to the actions of the US citizens wanting to protect their borders.

Answer 7

I don't know how stridently Mexico objects as much as it does anxiously and scared, but it might be because if illegal crossing were stopped there wouldn't be nearly as much U.S. money going in to fund their country.

Answer 8

Because the US and Mexico signed a free-trade pact. The US pays a lot of lip service to capitalism, free enterprise, all that good stuff, but opposes the free flow of labor. So hypocrital.

Check out the European Union (EU). They may not be the best and smoothest, but they surely have given the US a beating economically. If the US created a true North American Union, we could stomp the living daylights of cheap imports from Asia, plus outsmart those European intellectuals.

But noooooooo. People are too nationalistic and would rather go down with the ship.

Answer 9

It's convenient for Mexico. And it's worth it for the USA. Think about it, the USA is not dumb, if it wasn't worth it, they would've closed the border a long time ago. USA has the means to do it, and the laws, they just need to enforce them.

Answer 10

M-O-N-E-Y!

The $ 45 BILLION DOLLARS IN remittances that illegal aliens send back.

The illegal aliens are sending more money home

Migrants send average remittances of $300 a month, study finds, adding up to a record $45 billion this year

And the piece of the pie they get from the illegal drugs smuggled into the United States!
