> There are even more double standards in the immigration debate: what if we adopted the laws and enforcement tactics Mexico uses on its own southern border?
SwingshiftCEO: Mexican law is being changed on that; it is a holdover from the past. It hasn’t been signed yet, but no doubt will be since it passed the house unanimously very recently.

> What if we started sending our most violent criminals south of the border?
That’s absurd. They don’t send them here. Anymore than we send our criminals there, but US criminals have been going to Mexico to escape IUS law for 200 years. Don’t you watch old Westerns? And it happens in every nations borders. Big shocker, eh? Criminals work the legal system. There are ways of trying to deal with this, and they are imperfect, but suggesting that Mexico *sends* criminals to us intentionally (as Castro has we know) is entirely irresponsible.
> What if our embassies and consulates helped American citizens emigrate illegally to Mexico?
Here I agree with you. Mexico should be told to stop this, and they can be made to stop this because they have a change in leadership who we can deal with far better than V. Fox. But they aren’t our enemy.
