Evanston IL is a bit far from the border. Seeing as how I grew up and lived until recently 40 miles from the US/Mexico border, perhaps I can shed some light on this.
Have any of you given a moment to think about how F**ked up their lives must have been to do this?
I've traveled quite a bit in Mexico, not just the tourist areas where 99% of Americans never venture far from but "real" Mexico where few "gringos fear to tread, so I know how they live.
We exploit their laws, destroy their land, F**k over their working population (except the elite who benifit from Nafta)
That is done by the MEXICAN government. Mexico used to levy high tarrifs on imports so the infrastructure of the Mexican workplace was built long before NAFTA.
saturate their culture with mindless dribble, and because somebody wants to recieve some of the benifits of the consumer world that they have literally slaved to mass produce, you say F**k them?
Mexicans who "slave" away in maquiladoras (border factories) don't up and leave the factories in order to come to the US. It's always steady work, something hard to find in Mexico. They're not going to just up and quit for a maybe chance in the US.
Most of the illegals are poor undereducated unemployed farmers and Indians who have been fed lies about abundant jobs and opportunities by "Coyotes" (smugglers) who only want whatever money they can pay. And MAYBE they get a chance to come to the US. Remember the story about those illegals left to die in a locked railroad car in El Paso during the summer. That wasn't done by heartless Americans but by the illegal immigrants own country men. If you want to point any fingers, point them at the coyotes!
the person who built YOUR contour deserves less access to medicine for their children than you do, let alone a safe passage across a border, reguardless of their intentions?
Hate to break it to ya, but Mexico has a National Heathcare. IMSS (Instituto Mexicano de Seguro Social)is their version of Medicade
/Medicare/Social Security. They're not coming here for health care. If fact, many people go over to Mexico and mooch off their free Medical care.
yea, lets put guns on the wall, then lets get Milosevec out of jail an have him lead the charge against Mexicans. You'all have NO idea what is going on in the world outside of your self-righteous little minds.
When your through being ignorant, let me know.
