Illegal Immigrants

[FlyingNarwhal]

Sounds good, but I think that implementing  it is a lot more complicated. Also many illegal immigrants come from places further down in Central America, and while impoverishment certainly plays a large part it’s not the only issue. I do think it’s a problem you can just throw money at and fix, and being a soveriegn nation it’s difficult to do mich else.

I’m sure their are charities that send money to Mexico however, if you are interested.

Why is it more complicated, we are currently just throwing money at it, and we don't have a solution to stop people from coming here. The only way to stop people from coming here is to get them to want to stay where they are. It's not a problem for for people in Central America either because we could do the same thing there or they can partner with Mexico, it's the simple idea of people helping people. Right now our genius idea's are bus people to Canada and Build a ridiculously expensive wall nether addresses the actual problem.

There's a lot of different factors if your talking improving Mexico's infrastructure. One thing we could definitely do to help would be ending the War on Drugs. That would go a long way to help dismantling the cartels in Mexico and in turn make it safer. We've also already tried working a deal with Mexico where we would send immigrants to them. They'll take back their own citizens but they won't take immigrants from other Central & South American countries.

Spending money on another country's infrastructure is a step too far though in my opinion, especially one that shares a border with us. The amount of money it would cost to make significant changes that would have some kind of impact would be astronomical. We're also talking about creating jobs in Mexico, if you're doing it right the US would basically be spending money to potentially have businesses leave the US or at the very least make us less competitive on a global scale.

You have to think, the whole reason people are angry about illegal immigrants coming to this country is because they are taking American jobs and not paying taxes. What your proposing is that the US should help to move American jobs to Mexico and we pay for it in our taxes as well. It would probably face way more opposition then illegal immigration already does.
