Help Mexicans stay in Mexico?

Question

If Mexico had a better government and social structure, there might not be a need to leave Mexico. Has the US gov. ever thought about working with Mexico to make it so people would not need to leave in order to make a living/ have a better way of life?

Answer 1

Historically, we screw up countries that we try to help. We use to have three territories or colonies, and all of them are performing poorly comapred to the region. Cuba rejected us so hard that it became communist. The Phillipines lag economically in that region all though it's improved considerably. Liberia is still in the middle of a civil war. We can't fix a problem when we don't understand the people. THey need to fix it with in. We assume they want what we want, but thats being ignorant. They are of a different culture, and so they have different desires. My issue is that some come over here and demand we placate them and change for them. It's wrong for us to go over there and mess with their country and culture, but it's wrong when thy immigrate here and mess with our country and culture.

Answer 2

That was done in part in 1848 when President Polk took away part of northern Mexico and made it part of the U. S. Since then, life for Latinos north of the new border has been better for those south of it, in Mexico.



And since that time, a lot has been done to help Mexico. But it just has not been enough because of the nature of the culture and economy. It's a very aristocratic system that favors only the wealthy. It has virtually no middle-class - just rich and poor, for the most part.



Just what do YOU propose the U. S. should do, other than the humanitarianism already provided? Take over the rest of the country? (That's what I think should happen!) Other than that, we would be accused of meddling in the affairs of a neighboring country if we tried to drastically change Mexico. Of course, if we annexed the country militarily in order to make it over in our image, you KNOW what we would be accused of then!! Imperialism!

Answer 3

Free trade does not work at all - it is one of the communist goals of 1963.



We give them millions every year - we take in their trash - we provide jobs in mexico at our own expense. They are bankrupting this country and making it a nightmare to live here. How about we send them all to Canada - that would be an estimated 40 million. Yes, I think that would work.



Getting rid of the parasites is the best permanent long term goal. This isn't about helping anybody - it's about destroying the US.

Answer 4

How about their people not committing a crime (illegal immigration) as their first act in a foreign country? People like to focus on them looking for a better life but coming here ILLEGALLY is still ILLEGAL! My life would be much better and easier if I could just beat people and steal their money, but that's illegal...

Answer 5

Why should we work with them. The have Hugo Chavez and Vicente Fox . Fox supposedly got lots of training running an American company. why doesn't he come forth and share his experieinces with his own people. Enough of this Mexcan rescue mission. Who rescued the first settlers in the US? who supported the American Indians. Mexico has to stop the "poor me" and get to work. They also need to stay in their country and vote. Then they can rebuild.

Answer 6

I agree that helping mexicans to improve their own government would be a wise choice, instead of sending our troops to Middle East to improve theirs. But partly to blame is the media we have here. We make it seem to foreigners that we live lavish lives here and we have everything at our disposal. I have spoken to many "illegal immigrants" that say they came here to get a better life becuz of what they have seen on the TV.

Answer 7

The US has no control of that. "working" with their government will end up being another money pit because the majority of the ones in charge are so corrupt.

Answer 8

what do you think this whole NAFTA gig was about.....do some research and see how our government has outreached to this FAILING COUNTRY.....and all we get in return is invaders, drug smugglers, criminals and rapists......all the while the administrators of NAFTA sit at home, well secured, laughing at us idiots......all the while ignoring the innocent americans being slaughtered on our streets by foreigners......illegal foreigners.....

Answer 9

mexico get money from American government and strange how we have to help and we make there government say nasty things and they rape rob and beat the people who are south of Mexico

Answer 10

HAHAHAHA or should I type "jajajajaja"

We HAVE constantly tried to help them, however their corrupt government does nothing to help its own people. It's not our responsibility, it's their job to make their country a desirable place.
