This is the by-line from a USA Today article Page 1 this last week.
\n The article states that 40% of Mexican adults would move to the USA if they could, and would do so illegally if necessary.
\n It seems that this is happening allready, I refer to MR’s stats in his post “I don’t want to live in Mexico<\/a>“.
\n My question to the people of Mexico is What makes your country so bad that you wish to leave?.
\n In this day and age if something is wrong we do something about it, not just in this country but other parts of the world as well.
\n No one can argue that a little revolution every now and then is a healthy thing, it changes what needs to be changed (Not always for the better) and draws attention to injustice and problems with a given region or circumstance.
\n If Mexico is so bad then why don’t the citizens rise up and do something about it, We hear about how corrupt it is in Mexico, well do something about it!
\n Get up off of your lazy butts and take to the streets and the polls for a better way, If the polititians are corrupt, vote them out, If this cannot be done in your style of government change it. You do not have to stand for anything less than life, Liberty, and the persuit of Happiness. This is just not only words in our constitution but something that every human on the planet should be striving for every single day.
\n Coming across the border as fast as you can run away from the problems you face will not make Mexico a better place, it does nothing but overcroud the United states and make our goverment programs even thinner.
\n We all know that the vast majority of illegals coming out of Mexico are coming over here just because they can get on any number of government programs as soon as they get here and get a illegal green card.
\n I also have a problem with this “Guest Worker Program” This does nothing but provide the corporate fat cats with low cost labor, I am tired of hearing the excuse” They are doing the jobs that you people don’t want to do” Well if the businessmen will pay a real living wage they will not have to rely on cheap labor to get the job done. Yes they are doing the “Shit” Jobs but that is because the wage for these jobs would not even support a single person much less a family, If you take away one of the incentives for illegal immigration that will curb the flow a little.
\n Now don’t get me wrong I have no problem with Immigration as long as it is legal and done through the proper channels, and when you immigrate to the US that means you want to be an Americian, so start acting like one. Work hard, Become a citizen and register to vote, and vote to change what you think we do so wrong in this country that you wanted to live in in the first place.
\n My point is if America is so great that you want to live here, why don’t you try to make Mexico just as great, it can be done all you need to do is get up and do something about it.
\nOk I have my Flak Jacket on so let em fly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
