Will someone please tell me why we’ve been elected to support the corrupt and violent country of Mexico? The only trade agreement that seems to be in effect is that we send money to Mexico and they send us illegal aliens. The money we pour into the coffers of the government will never be seen by those that need it. Mexico is a parasitic nation that will forever sit back and depend on remittances and whatever money they can demand of us. They will never have an economy that supports its people. We are the fall guy by being unfortunate enough to share a common border. We may as well live next door to the most terroristic nation in the middle east.
