Ultimately, the decision on who we allow to enter our country should fall on the shoulders of the American populace that is forced to absorb new arrivals, not a Mexican government we did not elect. Stopping the Mexican intrusion, either by building the proposed wall or manning the frontier with Army reservists, would force Mexico’s ruling elite to make necessary reforms to help their fellow citizens or face disaster at the polls.

The possibility of leftist Lopez Obrador winning the presidential election should be a wake up call to the Mexican elite. Instead, they have turned it into a Cold War era extortion, warning us of the danger of the threat of communism on our border if we do not continue to accept their poorest. As if, the nationalization of elitist private property is a bigger concern in Topeka than it is in Mexico City.

Mexico’s current policies are clearly not doing enough to help Mexican citizens, relying instead on sending their impoverished packing to the USA to feed off what amounts to a US subsidy. Ridding themselves of their poorest by shipping them to the USA is reprehensible and, in the end, arrests economic reforms.

The Mexican elite should be forced to explain their policies for improving the lives of the entire Mexican constituency not just the ruling elite’s fortunes as it has been for more than 80 years. And America should understand that even if Mexico stops abdicating its responsibility, the flood of illegal immigrants will remain unabated. Our decisions must be based on those facts.

The tide of illegal immigration must be stemmed before the debate over amnesty and, more importantly, assimilation, can begin.
