Mexico is apparently still reeling from Donald Trump’s win.
For months, Mexican officials claimed that they would not allow Donald Trump to dictate policy in their country. They said that they would not go back to the table to renegotiate NAFTA, would not change their immigration policies, and would definitely never pay for Trump’s wall.
And besides, they said he was never going to win, anyway.
But he did. And now they seem to be changing their tune. According to France24, Mexico is reportedly making preparations to better equip themselves and their people against a Trump presidency. Naturally, this includes protecting the millions of illegal immigrants that they have sent over their northern border into the United States.
See what protective measures the Mexican government is implementing for Mexican illegal immigrants living in the United States on the next page:
Some work hard. Many hardly work. They like stealing$#%&!@* too. At least they don’t squat over the toilet, with their feet on the toilet seat like the Nigerians….
I’m confused. How can Mexico make the US do anything? Lol
He doesn’t have a vote. You lose.
Following are several of the arguments that have been used by misguided liberals to try and somehow justify illegal immigration. Next to each is the reason why each of these arguments has no merit.
1) They are an economic necessity – Not true! The idea that a bunch of desperately poor, uneducated, unskilled, illegal foreigners are an economic necessity is LUDICROUS! In fact, when you compare cost vs. benefit, it is obvious that they are not only NOT a necessity; they are not even an asset. Rather, they are a liability and a huge one at that.
2) They do work Americans won’t do – Not true! They do work Americans won’t do for $5 an hour (especially if Americans can collect welfare and unemployment forever). Of course, if you got rid of the illegals, the jobs wouldn’t pay $5 an hour. The people who wanted the work done would have to pay a wage that was attractive enough to get Americans to do the work. And it might even be enough so Americans could support themselves and get off welfare and unemployment!! Imagine that!!
3) They work & contribute to our society – So do I. And if I break the law and commit crimes, I can expect to pay a penalty of some kind. Anything from a small fine to the death penalty. I do NOT get rewarded. This argument makes no sense at all.
4) They are just trying to make better lives – Aren’t we ALL? The difference is that most of us understand that we don’t have a right to acquire by illegal means those things that we find difficult to acquire by legal means. And we certainly don’t have the right to do it in a foreign country. Mexico does not allow foreigners to enter their country illegally and break it’s laws. If you believe differently, go give it a try. Call me collect from the dungeon. Let me know how it went…..
5) It is impossible to round up and deport the illegals – We don’t have to. All we have to do is remove the incentives that brought them here in the first place!! No jobs. No housing. No services. No benefits. Once we remove the incentives that brought them here, they will leave on their own!!!
6) It would be too expensive to round them up and deport them – See #5.
7) Immigration control is racist – This is just another play of the race card by people who have no other cards to play. Immigration control is the world-wide status quo. There is NOTHING racist about it. Furthermore, the USA welcomes LEGAL immigrants of all races and ethnicities from all over the world who have gone through the legal immigration process. This is not just a bad argument, it is an attempt to create hatred and division.
8) We are a nation of immigrants – We are a nation that has, historically, allowed and even encouraged LEGAL immigration. And we continue to do so. The issue at hand is ILLEGAL immigration, which has nothing to do with legal immigration. This argument is totally irrelevant.
9) They are people. We must treat them humanely – Yes & yes. But lets not pretend like they are victims who were dragged here kicking and screaming against their will. NOTHING could be further from the truth. They came of their own free will and for their own BENEFIT and they broke the law to do it. People should not be rewarded with something so precious as citizenship for ignoring the sovereignty of our borders, breaking our laws and committing crimes on an ongoing basis. That is not why our servicemen have served our country over the decades! Sending these illegals HOME is the right thing to do. They should take their families with them – no intent to break up families – they should return home together like normal people would! There is nothing “draconian” about this.
No other country on Earth allows foreigners to come in illegally, work illegally, steal jobs from it’s citizens, break laws, commit crimes (serious crimes!), evade taxes, etc. etc. etc. And there are no rational reasons why we should either. There are only political reasons, and they aren’t rational.
How about an 11 point plan to get rid of cartels or 11 point plan to stop politicians from bribery.
Wouldn’t it help to have US educated, trained workers coming back to Mexico? Many are bilingual and it should only benefit them
NSA/FBI should tap the hotline in point #1. I can’t think of a faster way to develop a watchlist for illegals.
The easiest way to eliminate illegals is to hit the one’s hiring them. 100K fine for EVERY illegal knowingly hire in a particular business (first offense and it doubles for every time the same business is cited afterward). Soon, nobody would dare hire somebody without thoroughly checking out their background. NO MORE SANCTUARY CITIES. No more anchor baby loophole, either. If you’re illegal you go back and you can either bring your kid with you or not…
@Walter Vanderpool-There are illegals working at a Richmond oil refinery out here in CA. The refinery refuses to turn over their hiring records to INS and these illegals are making over 100K. That’s a little more than minimum wage and I’m sure many Americans would like to have those jobs…
How about a one step plan?
Step 1) bring them home.
