Thread: How is the US responsible for the poor of Mexico

I just wish the USA would keep it's nose out of foreign countries business.
If they are poor, let the leader take charge, not us.

If they have wealthy and many rich resources, they should start taking charge and help their own.

I'm tired of American's being the host to parasites!

Sorry, people, it's just like when parents keep helping out their kids from a jam...they will never learn how to stand on their own feet.

Besides, I did not send out invitations to foreigners to dip into my purse.

They lost farmers? So have we. Left and right.

I do not believe their poverty is our problem.

Because of the trade agreements, they lost alot of farmers. And these same poor farmers, entered or country illegally to work here. What a TRADE DEAL!
Sorry, it wasnt MY government that screwed up. We are not obligated to help Mexico's poor when they have a government of their own to help them. Let Mexico generate jobs for their own people, and keep them there where they belong.
