    Mexico is a failed culture?

    I have never felt ashamed of my country....until now. I can remember when the United States stood above others as a compassionate, fair, and decent nation spreading the Ideas of freedom and equality worldwide, looked up to and respected by almost everyone. In just a few years we have become almost hated by the very nations and leaders who depended on and appreciated what we stood for.

    I am angered and embarrassed....November will be fun and hopefully begin restoring our reputation.

    Relative to the countries their fleeing? Yes. Asylum seekers must prove they're being persecuted by regimes. Mexico doesn't persecute anyone. Poverty, and crime aren't forms of persecution ... if you haven't noticed we have both here in the US.

    What do you think that proves? It proves nothing. You are not on topic and just flaming.

    You said, "The last publicized group of fake refugees on our southern border were accompanied by a group of so-called "American" lawyers. Fact Fact Fact."

    Where is your credible, concrete proof that your claim is a fact? Hmmmmm?

    You are the one flaming because you can't explain how refugees get through Mexico, who by the way enforces their southern border with a wall, and come to the United States. There is an agreement worked out beforehand for that to happen. Why doesn't your leftist media cover that? You don't want that question answered and you know it. This is a topic you seem to want to avoid.

    Yes, personal attacks are not necessary and if you see it that way I apologize. But apologists for our "open border loopholes" are going to be closely scrutinized. We are not going to become another Germany.

    Why does Mexico have the infamous dedicated train to shuttle Mexico southern border jumpers to the north? Why does Mexico distrubute pamphlets? Why are cell phone apps now in play to game the system? Why is private and public funding being allocated for immigration lawyers to swamp the courts? Our own government pits citizen against alien and alien against citizen via law and policy.

    Not bad, in less than 300 years we managed to really **** things up. Luv me some people of all colors, shape and sizes but to whore this nation out for political gain is beyond contemptuous.

    The sad part is the elected elites will never be held accountable or truly fix the issue, they will perpetuate it.

    Mexico doesn't persecute anyone, but roving gangs do. We have poverty and crime here and opportunities that Mexico doesn't have.
    This is a humanitarian issue and should be treated as such.

    Where is your proof that your claim is fact? Don't you understand that to make a claim of fact you need to have concrete evidence not just speculation?

    I think there is an unwritten rule that if you rent or kidnap a child from Mexico you must redeem it in the U.S.!

    We have roving gangs too. MS-13 is well established in the US. They typically prey on the people were talking about. OK ... "treated as such" ... Yes, by Mexico, and the UN should be involved too.

    Then there is a third reason- that drug cartels promote illegal immigration and asylum apps, because it overloads the resources of the border patrol and makes drug smuggling easier. It also puts people who are sympathetic to or owe the cartel into the US.
    Border Patrol officers state the cartel support is behind most of the immigration problems, it is not the rare exception.

    They are just as safe or dangerous in some areas as America is in some areas. Detroit and Chicago can be just as bad as Mexico areas.

    I, sure you've housed many of poor and down trodden kids from urban areas in the past right? Your home is busting at the seems as we speak right? Facts don't care about your feelings, the central Americas MUST go through their building trials if they really want to grow. America CANNOT take in every sob story "refugee" with no skills and no education and provide for them. They survived where they were, no need to come here. Their populations haven't diminished, they are just looking to take advantage of the welfare state weve tried to create for our own citizens.

    BTW, why aren't these people going to the great socialist neighbors to the south which are much easier to get to?

    This is a humanitarian issue and nothing more. Our President is lacking in moral fiber and compassion, among other things.

    Do they go to the safe places of Mexico? No. Why? Welfare and handouts.

    The US has their own down trodden and war torn areas to take care of first. Whos going to "save" Americans when our system collapses under the weight of feeding and clothing everyone in the world? If you are a parent, you need to make sure you survive before you can take care of your kids. America is the parent, and not taking care of ourselves with lead to the death of the parent AND the kids.

    Do you have a limit on your humanitarianism? Mexico is ranked 69th by the World Bank in per capita GDP. About 6 billion people rank below that. Do all of them get to come to the US because opportunities exceed those of Mexico?
