Why won't Mexico re-form their country? Maybe illegals would stop free loading off the U.S?

Question

Instead of the U.S spending millions (if not Billions soon) on welfare, housing, medical, etc for ILLEGAL immigrants, wouldn't it make more sense to give Mexico this money to help them re-form their country. Isn't that why they are running across the border because life is "Supposedly" better here? Work on building business, schools, tourism etc in Mexico, so they can become more self sufficient. I work with a woman from Mexico, she's always going on about how she doesn't want to live in CA anymore, How mexico beaches are nicer, and how they had a nice home in a nice area, she says it's not the slums CNN would have you think. Wouldn't they go back if their country was in better shape????

I agree with "constructive" criticism. I DO believe immigrants have a right to a better life. But wouldn't they prefer to have it in their Home Country?? All I am saying is, instead of spending millions fighting them, why not spend that money helping them stay in their home country, in the long run, we will save money and American Culture too.

Answer 1

why would the Mexico corrupt gov't change?

1.) Mexico Encourage it's people to move to USA.
2.) it's people send back billions $$$ per year back to Mexico.
3.) free perks in USA at US taxpayers expense!!

Answer 2

This is a very touchy subject. What are you really saying? She's right, their beaches are better. And everybody has a right to a better life if they pursue it. At least they work hard. And they work the jobs that most people won't do. Have you seen the movie "Where did All The Mexicans Go?' We'll there you have it. Sounds to me like you don't like Mexican people. You have a lot of Americans on welfare too. So what do you have to say about that? I think maybe your just a little jealous of that woman from Mexico. What culture are you? Have you ever been poor. Have you ever been without? Why don't you call your Government and ask them? I agree with JZA.

Answer 3

I totally agree with you.
If Mexico wasn't in such a bad shape, and had a good economy, immigrants wouldn't be lining up to get in here.

Answer 4

Their government is too corrupt and forcibly making them change would be invading their country, wouldn't it? Do we really want a war with Mexico?

Answer 5

No, not money, each illegal should be given a copy of Henry David Thoreau's "civil disobedience", in Spanish, and told to get in touch with the Zapatains, change it themselves.
could you imagine an army of 12 to 20 million.
Viva Zapata!

Answer 6

so, what you are saying is that it's Mexico's fault for all the illegals that come from that country and that it's not the fault of illegal immigrants themselves? then I agree.

Answer 7

American businesses are freeloading off of cheap labor from immigrants. Take a look at all of the cleaning services, lawn services, janitorial services, factory, construction, trench-digging, garbage-handling, crop-picking, it's all done by immigrants because American businesses know they won't have to pay them as much or give them health insurance or anything. Try looking past the surface of the problem before making any judgments. Those immigrants (including illegals) do nothing but work hard when they get to this country, and hard work is what the US was built on. Only a small percentage of immigrants actually come here to be criminals.
