Roque Nuevo, I am sure the vast majority of those coming to work are good people, but that doesn’t excuse the mexican government from aiding those people to break our laws by coming here illegally to work. Mexico is a hypocrite when it comes to immigration, and they singularly cost us billions a year by sending their citizens here illegally and railing about our attempts to secure our southern border while applying their immigration laws ruthlessly.
Their criminals come up here, kill our cops, rape or women and children and murder innocent families by driving drunk and then run to mexico where the mexican government refuses to deport them to face justice, because mexico doesn’t believe in the death penalty and now the mexican supreme court has stated that life in prison is also too extreme and people facing that sentence should not be sent back to face justice for their crimes.
Is that a good ally? Is that a good neighbor? No. That is a country that should have a huge wall between them and us and have everything moving between the countries monitored to the highest extent possible. If mexicans get in trouble here they get all the protections of our legal system, even if they are here illegally (which they shouldn’t) and if we get in trouble down there (and don’t bribe our way out) we sit to rot in their jails with no legal recourse or protections of any kind.
Mexico is a country that needs a serious overhaul, and until they decide to change it and respect the rule of law on all levels we should do everything in our power to protect ourselves from being corrupted by their corruption.
