Do you agree with any of this? If you were to go to Mexico, why can't they accomodate the following...for US?

I agree with everything you said.  The USA is the "home of the free" but everything isn't free. . .to anyone!  Rather than immigrating to the USA, why not change things in Mexico to be more like the USA if it is so desirable! We've always welcomed foreigners who adhere to our laws and become legal citizens.

would you people quit begging for bigger government & global authorities to solve all your percieved problems. its none of the un's business what happens here or anywhere else. thats why usa was formed remember? un shouldnt exist. mexicans have been the dominant culture & population in the south for the entire time the viande have been here. why are they such a problem? were you so worried about this 6 months ago or is this the product of the media blitz?

I personally have suggested that we adopt the very same laws as they have within Mexico for this country - esp after Fox came here talking about how he didn't agree with what our congress was thinking of doing on the immigration bills.\n\nDouble standards bother me - which is maybe why so many of his citizens leave.  That and the free ride that they get over here.....

Hell no! Mexico is trying to take over the USA as it is. Look how many are SNEAKING across the borders now, if we were to give them duel citizen ship, that would be a night mare, then who is next? Canada? I say lets keep the USA as she is, the proud, the free and the home of the brave. Not the nation that has open door policy, (Hey everyone we don't care how many come over and take over our nation, just walk right thru the door and its yours for the taking)  come on, whats next? This is our America, our country, not theirs, they already have their own, why give ours up so easily?

We should, but it wont happen.  The Mexican government can't provide needed service to its poor people that is why they headed north to the US where they can got free medical, free services.

I know people personally who are considered medically disabled and unable to work.  The insurance company they paid into their whole lives dropped them because they supposedly reached their "life cap."  They moved to Mexico to be able to afford the healthcare and medications they need just to survive on a daily basis.  I would do the same in their position.  We should be free to go wherever we need to on God's earth to not just survive but THRIVE.  If that place changes from the USA to Mexico for me tomorrow I'll go in a heartbeat.

OH HELL NO! Never. Mexico govt. would never go for it...they'd lose too much power. U.S. is better off with out them.

US immigration officials should take a look at those.  If Mexico wants to be that harsh to other country's citizens, well by golly, we should be that harsh to theirs!  Maybe then we won't have so many Mexican migrant workers crossing over our border illegally to get free education, free medical care and free housing.

I don't think that the Mexicans would agree. Mind you, there is always the option to invade it like the US normally does with other countries, but then again Mexico doesn't really have a lot of resources that the USA is interested in.

Mexican are not "allowed" to stay. The laws are the same no matter what - its what the government CHOOSES to do about it.

I can't speak for "who would want to," but Mexico is known as having some of the most draconian immigration laws in the world. It's funny that a government that actually encourages its citizens to violate the immigration laws of another country are the first to say "we don't want illegals here."\n\nQuite ironic.

PLEASE PLEASE inform yourself before writing...\nQUOTE: "The U.S. must go in there with the Army and Marines to restore Law and Order. The magnificent wealth of the U.S. could restore roads, build schools, hospitals, and promote economic growth. The once gorgeous country has become nothing more than a big garage pit with their people living in foul squalor."\n*** We Mexicans are happy living in Mexico, we don't need the "magnificent" US conquering us, we DO have schools, hospitals, and roads. I think the "magnificent wealth of the US" should be invested in rebuildign New Orleans and focused on rebuilding your own country not invading other countries.\n\nAnd how can you say that Mexico is not even beloved by its own people??? Obviously you have NEVER EVER met a real Mexican because even when Mexicans migrate to other countries they keep their traditions and idiosyncrasies and never stop loving Mexico.\n\nPlease people leave us alone, we Mexicans LOVE Mexico and we don't want our country to be colonized/invaded by anybody.

I do think the Military should be used to protect ALL of our borders.  We have enough internal problems here already; so we should start protecting ourselves even more.  I fear terrorists coming in from the borders; so our Military should be there to make sure that doesn't happen.  And it would also stop people from entering this country ILLEGALLY.  \n\nTo answer your question about why you can't go to Mexico and just 'pick a spot there without any problems' is b/c they are VERY smart.  They DON'T allow people from other countries to just 'make themselves at home' without contributing to society.  So I say it's time for the United States to take that EXACT stand for our own country.  What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

I agree.  I can understand the desperation of their situation, but if they want to be here, they have a responsibility to follow our laws, just as Americans who go to Mexico have a responsibility to follow their laws.  Personally, I think part of the problem is NAFTA; it has caused unemployment in all three countries involved, especially Mexico.  A bad decision on the part of the government has helped to put them in this situation.  But if they want better lives, how good can those lives be if the "goodness" was achieved through dishonesty and deception?  It's still not right for them to break our laws because they would be sending us back to the U.S. if we broke one of theirs.  That's what makes sense to me.

The Mexican, Cuban, and other foreign people need a place to go where they will be accepted. If this place happens to be America then so be it. Its inhumane to shoot people trying to cross the boarder or to send them back to Cuba after traveling across a fairly substantial strentch of water. We're the great American melting pot and it would be great if that could continue  peacefuly.

I actually agree with you, though I wouldn't put it in your terms.  I do think the United States should SERIOUSLY open talks with Mexico about annexing it...that is...making it a territory of the United States like Puerto Rico and Guam,  though not making it a "state" per se.\n\nWhen over 50% of the population of an entire COUNTRY does not want to live there and are trying to immigrate to the U.S., there is a serious problem.  \n\nI'm sympathetic to the economic problems that Mexican citizens are facing, but the U.S. has it's own problems, as well.  NO ONE IN THE WORLD has the right to just go to another country and expect "rights."  Every country...and I do mean EVERY country--even Mexico--has their own immigration rules and laws.  The U.S. is no exception, and I'm not sure why Mexican citizens feel they have the right to simply ignore our laws?\n\nThere is a problem and a lot of those people need help, if the government of Mexico is ill-equipped to help their own people, and they are insistent that flooding the U.S. is the only solution, then I say open the U.S. Mexico border; make Mexico a U.S. territory subject to all of our laws and taxes and give them protection under our military system.  \n\nI have no doubt this would be a mess, but honestly, what the heck are we supposed to do when the majority of Mexicans prefer to live in the U.S. and we can't stop them from flooding across the borders illegally?  It would be better to just open the borders so that citizens AND businesses can cross without restrictions, and that way over time, there will be less incentives to come north.

That's Mexicos problem.  They can deal with it however they see fit or whatever their laws deems.
