Because they are hiring illegals from Guatemala and Venezuela,etc.. And Mexico has the nerve to tell us what to do with illegals. Look how they treat theirs. Plus,illegals here send back tons of money to Mexico.

"Some of the worst abuses take place on the coffee plantations of Chiapas state, where some 40,000 Guatemalan field hands endure backbreaking jobs and squalid living conditions to earn roughly $3.50 a day. Some growers even deduct the cost of room and board from that amount. "If you ask them, 'Why are you bringing in Guatemalans to work?' they say, 'You can't depend on Mexicans. They don't work hard; they're irresponsible'," says George Grayson, a political scientist specializing in Mexico at the College of William & Mary. "The truth is, you can pay [the guest workers] a pittance. And if they cause the slightest disturbance, you can send them back to Guatemala."

I am an American living in Mexico. Mexico has just too many people for one thing. Mexico City and the surrounding area has an estimated 33,000,000 folks, still breeding as we speak.
There are no jobs in Mexico, no law, no checks and balances.
People do not pay their taxes, you can`t get a receipt from anyone including doctors here.
Overpopulation is the first problem
The government is totally corrupt and now that the United States is closing the borders, more and more Mexicans stay in Mexico and just birth more little Mexicans.

'The poor' have always made a great political tool. What they could/should be doing is improving their country so people don't feel compelled to leave it on a desperate midnight run.

People in need will do just about anything in a state of desperation. Scratch that. They WILL do anything. Hunger's a powerful motivator, and when you're hungry, all the talk about immigration law and so forth is so much empty rhetoric.

There's 6.6 billion people in the world. Mexico and america combined account for .4 billion, or about 1/16th of the total.
And, the world gets more crowded with each passing year.
It won't be long until 7 billion, and not long after that until 8, so forth, and so on. With a global population increase rate of about 80-100 million per year, it's like adding another Mexico annually.
3 years' worth is equivalent to all the people that live in the United States alone. That is, unless people stop, and think about what they're doing. The more advanced countries, the ones that sort of 'get it', are seeing a fall in birth rates. The countries where literacy rates are lower are still expanding their populations like mad. Illegal immigration is a symptom of global population growth, pretty much, and until people start to think and work on ways to start cutting back on all that growth crap they're always on about, we'll see more of it. How far would YOU walk to escape abject poverty? What laws would you break to feed your kids etc? Most of us are paycheck-trained, and really don't tend to think along those lines. But, in countries where a steady job is a dream in and of iteself, and the economy's beyond crappy,
bad things happen to a lot of people. I read a story about people living next to the Ganges river, and they all rushed to go drink 'sweet' water. Turns out, the sewage plant upstream had an overflow or a leak, or something. The sewage plant. Upstream. Makes ya think...

we have to take care of this problem and do everything that is legal for us to do, We have to literally ignore Mexico becuase they have proven to have no intention of respecting are laws or even respecting thier own laws or thier own coutymen,, Mexicans are great people but Mexico is not worth of calling itself a country in any general term, it has great culture and rescources , but the social and goverment systems are of the worst on the entire globe
