There are many symptoms that occur as a result of the
relationship between the US and Mexican rich and their respective
governments.
Every day about one and a quarter billion dollars in trade
and one million people legally cross the border per day. Then there are the drugs, money, and guns. Billions in remittances sent back to Mexico
each year. NAFTA has hurt the citizens
of both countries. Mexico is the second
largest supplier of oil the US and our third largest trading partner. The US is Mexico's number one foreign investor. The minimum wage in Mexico is around 70 CENTS
per hour, and the minimum wage in the US is $7.25 per hour. The US sends funding and other resources to
Mexico to help fight their drug war.
There have been some 60 thousand people killed in Mexico as a result of
that drug war.

The Mexican undocumented make up over 50% of the
undocumented in the US. If their
government AKA their 1% ruling class provided a decent living wage for their
poor their poor would not come or stay here.
Despite all of our governmental rhetoric and propaganda,
mega US agricultural corporations are dependent upon undocumented workers to
harvest their crops and profits.
Yet many posters take the one symptom of the undocumented
and angrily protest that one symptom as the cause and cure to all US
immigration problems.
And that the 1% smile when the 99% misplaces the blame.
