| Yes, the US does invest plenty in Mexico, I've seen US government analyses that do show a positive effect on controlling immigration from Mexico thanks to maquiladora establishment. Employment is the reason undocumenteds cross and conditions would need to improve substantially before illicit immigration stopped completely, but it wouldn't take close to comparable conditions since the distance, risk, all those fortifications Border Patrol and fanatic ranchers, plus the language, all would remain.
The moronic minutemen are booking "reservations" in Bush's home state to "hunt" Mexicans, their visits sponsored by hardware stores promoting their sale of weapons and ammunition for this purpose. Its not about tresspassing, which in any case would be something the ranchers, but not their guests could protect against (and never with lethal force).
Undocumenteds in Mexico making their way to the US breach no laws until they step on to gringan soil, the Mexican military then can do nothing. |
