Mexico exports its problems

Vicente Fox, former president of Mexico, recently forgot his manners when he visited the United States. Several times he publicly chastised this country for our immigration policies. It is usually considered impolite to criticize one's host about family matters but apparently Fox suffers from no such inhibitions.
He speaks of the benefit he thinks the presence of Mexicans illegally here has been. The Mexican laborer has been a benefit to certain American employers, but it is a benefit we could have done without.

The presence of millions of illegal aliens depresses wages and working conditions here. They cost America billions in jail and prison costs, welfare, food programs, and education. A dollar spent educating the illegal child of an illegal alien is a dollar that should have gone to an American child's education. The same is true for health care. He neglected to point out that over $20 billion a year flows from this country to Mexico. That money should have been paid to American workers, to be spent in this country.

While we may resent his poor manners, we do not begrudge Fox the freedom of speech guaranteed for all in this country. But if he is really concerned about Mexicans and Mexico he should spend his time, effort, and words at improving life for the people of Mexico by helping to develop an economy, an educational system, a system of laws, and a government in Mexico that allow them to stay home.

For Fox, though, it is easier to export their problems and import our dollars.

What all these idiots fail to mention is that business invited the illegals in NOT US. We had no idea how bad the problem had gotten. And, once we did, we started voicing our opinions. That's what they all have a problem with. It's been the status quo for so long, how dare we try to change it. They need to understand that the American people do not want to deal with this problem and since we pay the bills around here, we get to be the deciders!

Fox is a greedy SOB a*****le. Sorry folks, stories about him and his pompous attitude get me severely angry.

His words are no more important and valid than that of a raving street corner lunatic.

Nothing to apologize for Liz! I'm sure it's safe to say that the majority of us here (if not all) feel the same way.

I just keep wishing he is in that fiberglass crap house the gorilla in your avatar is carrying while giving BOOSH the finger. And, I also keep dreaming that he is carrying Fox back across the border for good!

It's a Sasquatch (aka: Bigfoot). Yeah, I could only hope he'd have to use one and get it overturned while inside!!!!!

The government (Bush) (Cheney) allowed Mexico to send its people in because of the corporations demands for cheaper wages. Bush has done nothing to shut down the borders or to stop illegal immigration. To not blame the US is like not blaming Kmart because you got a bad Martha Stewart item.
Illegal immigration was a plan put into place by Fox and Bush. The majority of the influx of illegals has been during his second term when all borders were left defenseless.
Greedy politicans and greedy corporations have brought these people here. Money given to Congress and the Senate have brought these people here. Lets not forget that Bush does represent the United States and he is our voice (or supposed to be our voice). The majority of the people are standing up finally and saying we don't want George Bush to be our voice any longer. He is betraying his country.
