I do know LEGAL immiigrants from Mexico. Even they while symphthetic with their fellow Mexicans do not like the way illegals depress the wages they earn when they come here. Mexico is a very oil rich country run by people from what I understand from my friend an co worker haven't even been in Mexico for that long, they come from the island countries or something. (she speaks excellent english is and american citizens but sometimes things are hard to understand) Mexico DOES in fact have ways to help it's own people and it's the people of Mexico who in the end have to do something about the corrupt people in charge. We cannot become a home to every one who can't. THere is also the misconnception that most Mexicans area uneducated. Perhaps in some areas, but most do go to school at least through 7th or 8th grade, and believe me she says she had to tell her 6th grade sons teacher that while her country is poor her son would still be in 3rd grade with his current math skills. WHile I feel for them I do not feel I owe them anything when they break my countries laws. Plus they make it much harder for those coming here legally.
The minutemen are people who really care about this country. They started patroling when people who own land on the border complained about the illegals crossing their property. Some things you don't here are the amount of garbage being left in the deserts. The number of people who live on the borders who have to keep their doors locked all the time. (it's not only the nice people who are coming across, there are also a large number of gang members, drug smugglers and criminals) The minute men were started to help address that problem.
We'll agree to disagree I think.
