One of the points Krudge is implying is that NAFTA is the biggest reason that the Mexican economy is stifled from growing enough to make it reasonable for a lot people to stay there.

So, why then should you blame an industrious motivated person to seek a better existence someplace where they can make more profit?

The same politicians who are blowing smoke about the border, are the ones voting for NAFTA and other disasterous policies that are mostly responsible for the situation with the border.

Do you think perhaps these deportations are just showpieces to show the more ignorant elements of the Republican Party that their party is tough on border issues? In spite of the fact it is the true Corporate base of the Rep. Party that mostly benefits so much from the inexpensive labor that the immigrants provide?

The Republican Party is actually splintered on the issue, but the Coporate sector is smart enough to keep quiet, because they know that the large groups of sheep in the Party need to be deceived into thinking that the border is going to close down or something, in order for their global agenda to go forward.

Since the Corporations own the media in this country, you never hear the other side of the story. You just fall for the propoganda hook line and sinker, and you feel clever.

Self-righteous rantings from a natural citizen regarding the plight of a hard-working and passionate immigrant are so unattractive. Especially when your understanding of the issue is so limited. Really. Thank you for providing the clear deliniation between our points of view.

The funny part is, in the next couple of years, maybe sooner, the dollar is going to be looking a hell of a lot more like a peso, and folks like you won't know how to deal with it. Except to keep on voting for the people who threw you into this situation in the first place, and pretended to care about the fact that a bunch of poor people from the US were "threatened" by a bunch of poor people from Mexico who "invaded" them from across a border in the middle of a desert that has been at one with itself for millenia.
