Do you think we should blame more the mexican government for the illegal immigration issue?

Question

I've seen a lot of answers and questions here saying that all "illegals" should stay home.
Obviously the illegals won't stay home if their government don't do anything for their people. If they really did anything for them, the mexicans obviously would stay home. So i don't think it's really fault of the mexicans, it's fault of THEIR GOVERNMENT.

Answer 1

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with you. Many immigrants come from unstable economies. They come to the United States because they earn more money doing backbreaking work in the fields all day, than they would working in a maquiladora, or factory in Mexico. It also not only Mexicans that are illegal immigrants. It only seems that way in the Southwest because of our borders. On the east coast it is Chinese and Africans that have higher numbers of immigrants. But again, their chances are better here in the United States than in their own country. here's a question for you to ponder: How can we send them home if they are unable to provide their families with the basic necessities in their own countries?

Answer 2

Yup. But think of it as it is in the U.S. They are all there for the money. How many government officials you think run for office to truly "help the people"? They're there for the money, and in the Mexican government, the ones providing the most moolah are the cartels, meaning that corruption exists in Mexico at all levels. The cartels have a lot more money and resources than the U.S. government is putting in the 'war on drugs', so imagine how much they can contribute to the corruption of Mexican presidents. My point is, the Mexican government is more worried about making it look like they still have an authonomy while letting their country become the middle man of the continent, than about improving the lives of their citizens, especially since illegal immigrants in the U.S. who send money back to Mexico are also contributing to the economy of the country.

Answer 3

You are 1/2 right it is the fault of their government and 1/2 the fault of our government. America is out of room for people from other countries, what our government needs to do is create jobs in their country and MAKE their government pay a living wage to all its citizens. We have the same problem here. some people and our government is getting SO rich and the middle class has disappeared and more of our citizens are living below the poverty line even though both adults are working 50 to 60 hours a week.

Answer 4

Yeah, there is a fair share of the blame due to them. Their corruption and opression have created the most impoverished nation in North America.

It's time for people to wake up and realize that America can't solve the world's problems, and massive amounts of Mexicans and other illegal immigrants seeking to debase America and make it just like the country they left DOESN'T HELP ANYONE.

Answer 5

Of course. This is a win-win situation for Mexico. They do not have to provide jobs for them, and when they cross the border to get a job, money comes back to Mexico, to be spent in Mexico. However, Our Government is just as much to blame. If our "leaders" were half as interested in the welfare of this country, and it's legal citizens, as they are their own personal gain, we would not even be having this discussion. Americans struggled to built this country - not illegals. Now, we struggle to make a living for our own families. How can we support millions of illegals? Even if they are working, their low wages qualify them for every government program out there. We pay for those programs. Our hospitals have to treat them, and when they don't pay, our hospital bills soar. Even to the point that many of us go without medical attention, because we can not afford it. To the point some hospitals in California have had to close their doors. Etc., etc., etc. I just wish the government of this wonderful nation would cut the B.S. and consentrate on taking care America and it's legal residents. Build the d**m wall. Pass strong laws, have the guts to inforce them.

Answer 6

The Mexican government is placing their Sleeper Cells in America. So when they team up with Iran and declare War on the United States they will already have soldiers in place.

Mexico is NOT poor they are the 12th riches economy in the world and the 4th riches oil nation in the world.

Answer 7

I feel we should blame us employers. They know they can hire these illegals and pay less. I work where I make 19.00hr. Most would hire an illegal @ half or less than that. Then these illegals save thew money, go back to Mexico and live like kings. The last I checked it took about 13 pesos to make one US dollar.

We need to make it hard for the first offense, for these employers that hire illegals. That started with people who will pass laws that we as citizens want passed.

Answer 8

Yes I do. The Mexican government is even more do nothing than ours. They do all they can to get there poor to come here, they even put out a book on how to cross our border. Them wanting the poor to come here is all about money, the more that come here the more money being sent back.

Answer 9

The Mexican government is encouraging their people to go to America. And they even give them survival packs to make the trip. And the traitors in our government have arranged to give them free health care,food stamps,and many other things.
It is all part of a plan to knock us down to a third world country.

Answer 10

Yes, it is the fault of the government. For not taking care of its own people, and then encouraging them to be criminals.The people for illegally crossing the border when they could have at least tried to enter legally. Its also the fault of businesses here for hiring them, landlords for giving them places to live, the healthcare/welfare system for giving them handouts.
