A pause to comment on border problems; the problems of the Mexicans / USA border are so complex I hesitate to bring it up, but it also hard to ignore. We try so hard and spend so much money on trying to keep Mexicans out of the USA. A wall…what were they thinking? The border is 2,000 miles long! Reminiscences of the China Wall…the Berlin Wall? And do I even want to get into the violence and killing on the border?
First of all, the history of the border is confusing. Years ago, the Mexican/USA border was hundreds of miles north of where it is now. In 1848, due to war with the USA and a treaty that followed, Mexico lost 55% of its land. What is now California, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, parts of Colorado, Wyoming, Kansas, and Oklahoma where all Mexico. So you might say, they are just trying to come home!
Another issue is the wonderful NAFTA program imposed upon the Mexican people! It was supposed to create an economic boon but has had the opposite effect, causing an economic depression among the Mexican peoples (websites do not discuss or admit to this problem). So if we have caused Mexican people to be without work, how can we morally or ethically suppress peoples from trying to earn a living and feed their families?
Maybe we could enter into another type of trade agreement. We could trade people. A lot of American and Canadian citizens are leaving their countries to move to Mexico. In Mexico, there are springing up English speaking communities for those who have moved south.
