Erik, Thank you fro writing. That comment was long, concise and reeked of, well, let’s just say that I am highly doubtful after reading your comment that your knowledge of illegal immigration is firm, much like your grasp of reality.
Let’s take this backwards and keeps it short. Sandy Berger should be rotting in a jail for the rest of his life for what he did, and the corruption of the Clinton administration is no excuse to excuse the corruption of the Mexican government.
As for illegals and NAFTA, NAFTA came through in 1994, for many, many years before that I was personally working alongside of illegals in the horse racing industry. Are you saying they were psychic about what was coming and came up early to get a jump on the good jobs? NAFTA has CREATED jobs in mexico, and now it seems we’re going to help build up the infrastructure in southern Mexico as an incentive to get mexico to help stem illegals from flooding our country? That’s right. The mexican government has complained that NAFTA has built up the north part of their country but not the south, creating an influx of workers to the states that no longer can find work down there, and they want US to pay to build bridges, roads and other infrastructure so industry can move there also. (I’d have a link for you here but since you didn’t have any research in your comment I figure it’s good enough for me).
That smacks of extortion to me. “Senor, chu weel beel my britsh or I weel keep seendink chu my peepole.” SO don’t give me the bull-ony that illegals are only here because of NAFTA. They were here long before that (ever hear of Operation Wetback in the 50′s?) and unless we do something they’ll be here forever.
As for the drugs, look where the hippy counter culture that led to such rampant drug use started…..and who defends that side of the aisle with such insanity as rehab not punishment, considering drug users to be victims of a disease instead of the weak minded, character lacking creatures they are, and tell me who is responsible for all of it. In case you are having a hard time grasping that answer, Erik, let me just say that it falls onto the heads of the American Left (the dems) and their idiotic multicultural everyone is a victim except the rich white man mentality, so before you blame America as a whole for problems that have arisen south of our border, look at whose ideals and policies have caused those problems to grow so huge.
