why not? Since when is the US about setting laws based on what other countries are doing? pretty much most of our policies, and a good deal of the sentiments that I hear expressed even on this board say that we should not be doing that. If Mexico was to adopt looser border policies would you say that we should follow their example? I think not.
Countries want things done differently for their neighbors all the time, that's sorta what being a sovereign power is about, that you can make your own laws that are not the same as the ones that your neighbors have.
I always see all these funny example of- what would you call it?- some kind of perverse selflessness where it's expected for groups of people to do what is best for group A, instead of their own, but this philosophy is espoused by the members of group A, and they don't do the same thing in regards towards other people, they also just do what is best for them.
To explain that clearer- the US obligation is to do what is best for the nation. It's Mexico's obligation to do what is best for them. Mexico doesn't have any obligation to do what is best for the US, and why should they? The inverse is exactly the same, the Us doesn't set our policies because they benefit Mexico.
So I say that it is unreasonable for people to expect that Mexico should cater to the US, while the US doesn't cater to Mexico. Would that be considered going both ways, or just going one way (Our way or the highway)?
The US is catering to Mexican Nationals that become Illegal Aliens when they cross our border. If this were more of a symbiotic relationship, then I would not be opposed, however this is not the case. The Illegal Border Jumpers are leeching the American Taxpayer. They refuse to even attempt to become Naturalized Citizens, yet they want all the benefits of American life.
I declare Bullshit!
From Fox to Calderon the cry and I mean crying from Mexico for the US to literally open it's borders when Mexicos is as strict as it is, is nothing more than duplicitous and an attempt to destroy the American southwest and America's infrastructure as a whole.
As well, the majority of Mexicans believe that the American southwest belongs to them, when it clearly does not. So they attempt to reclaim it by the border jumping.
Some who jump are just looking for a better life, some are drug runners, others are members of LaRaza. Regardless of the means, the end is they are a bain on American society and either must submit to naturalization or be deported.
America must strengthen it's border defense, and dare I say it? A shoot on sight policy.
But instead, what happens.... nothing, we have selfish assholes like Pelosi and Business owners that cater to the illegal for illegal votes and slave like labor, so they can maintain a cushy lifestyle while fucking over American taxpayers.
