Chesus.

What do you think the immigration laws are in mexico? All you have to do in mexico is make a wrong fucking turn and you would find out what they are in a heart beat. You would get to stay for awhile, but it wouldn't be all warm and fuzzy.

Let's just annex Mexico, make it the 51st state and make them all citizens. Then they call all just stay where they are, and their country will still be a poorly run shit hole, but better than it is now.

Because our elected representatives have changed the rules, making it far more difficult to do- and all but impossible without resources- the lack of which is the prime motivation for emigrating in the first place.

It has become acceptable to rate dollars above human life in our political system, and this is just part of the fallout.

Because the US government has said that no more Mexicans are allowed in the USA. Apparently we have enough.
So racial quotas are a "good" thing
that should apply to college admissions and employment as well?
If you dont agree then maybe we should change that quota system

Racial quotas? Mexican is not a race. The US government has seen fit to only allow so many people from each country to freely immigrate to the US. Has nothing to do with race.

My ancestors "immigrated" from the south here to tend and sow the land like their fathers before them. As time went by, someone came along and implemented a system for them to "check in" and "check out" as needed.
