Personally, my position is that there should not be blanket laws. Each case should be looked at individually, subjectivley, circumstancially.

The border relationship with Mexico is heartbreaking. Ultimately, we should have an open border. Right now, our main concern should be not splitting up families, and creating a trade policy that does not weaken Mexico, but strengthens Mexico, and all of the economies. NAFTA needs to be revised or overturned. This way, people from Mexico may choose to stay there and build the economy with new policies that allow them to have opportunities in their land. How great would it be if Mexico had a strong economy, and we could have an honest open relationship. NAFTA is destroying all three of the Continent's economies.

Ireland is a good example of how to turn around an economy. So many of the Irish who were here in the 90's and early part of the 2k's have gone home to participate in that growth. It has made not only our relationship with Ireland stronger, but it has improved the relationship with the Irish and the British.

We could learn so much from that.

Basically, people on the ground need to be supporting one another, and not let the tragic policies implemented by the Government destroy our relationship. By taking this position, we ensure that in the long run, if the current authoritarianism does not win out, and we get to have a Democracy again, we can retain strong friendships and have an increasingly open relationszhip.
