This brings up a good point. A possible alternative would be to help Mexico improve its economic situation. Some might claim that the way Mexico runs its government is not our problem and I would agree, however they have MADE it our problem. It is our problem now due to the fact it is so bad in Mexico that attempting to illegally enter a neighboring country is a better option. If you read any of my previous posts, you will see that I am extremely against illegal immigration and handouts. But we help cultures all over the globe improve their current situation, why not Mexico? Give them incentive to stay home instead of giving incentive to move.
The problem isn't that the Mexican people are escaping to the US, it's that the Mexican government is TELLING them to! This is how Vincente Fox is trying to improve Mexico, by shipping his poor and his criminals elsewhere, knowing that they'll send most of their money back into Mexico and improve the Mexican economy.
