Another Thought

Earlier I posted ideas about what to do with illegal immigration I, along with Robert, passed our ideas about fixing the problem. One thing though I just realized one thing not talked about. (I'm singling out Mexico in this case cause in California that's the main issue) My question is why doesn't the United States put any pressure on President of Mexico Vicente Fox. He's a part of this as well.

What kind of "pressure" are you talking about? It's not in Fox's best interest to do anything about this issue.

How about cutting off economic aid for one thing. Why should we give him money when he is not helping on the issue.

Robert E Wilson said...

Okay, what economic aid are your referring to? I know we are subsidizing Mexico to patrol the border U.S. pays Mexico to secure border but is that what you mean?

I'm not challenging your statement but I may just be ignorant as far as knowing how we are economically supplying Mexico.

Erik said...

Don't we give money to Mexico as we do other nations. Cut that off.

Robert E Wilson said...

If you mean our government directly paying other governments, I'm not aware we're doing that.

I'm not saying we aren't, just that I'm not aware of it.

We give money to Israel and many other countries as part of our foreign budget.

Robert E Wilson said...

That may be as we aid Israel in defending itself. Do we do that with Mexico?

Erik said...

I'm saying any funding for anything we give to them
