The relations between the United States and Mexico should mirror our relations with Canada. Mexico is instead being represented by a group of spokespeople who want to be allowed by us to put their country and people forward as a nation that can not function, a people composed of moral cripples. The kind of relations that they want insults the potential of Mexico and the best that is within the Mexicans. If Mexico is allowed to open their doors only to who they want when they want they should recognize such a right on our part.


Those Mexicans who have entered the country legally but bring in illegal aliens want us to believe that Mexico can never be a good place to live. That Mexico's own situation can never improve. At one time there were large numbers of Canadians many Quebecois who were moving here. Now although the United States remains richer there is no flood.


The Mexican illegal immigrant problem is one that is really of the legal Mexican immigrants own making. If the Mexican Americans and Mexican legal immigrants were to invest in productive assets in Mexico their own original country their friends and relatives that are illegal would not have the same desire to come here.


If you see someone Mexican who is protesting for amnesty ask them if they are being as active down in Mexico setting up small business or making labor saving improvements to a family farm. Otherwise they will always be beholden to the Americans for good paying jobs and we can not be expected to just indefinitely accomodate people who have no actual deficiency that they can not create a cure for themselves.
