country, one bond at a time, to fund our unholy wars, in order to enrich
the wealthy, maybe we will start to see that the Mexicans are just
trying to stay alive. They get little support from their own corruption
riddled, right-wing government, and farm workers and farmers are unable
to compete with American subsidized corn and wheat.

Mexico, threatens to destabilize the economy, especially as the jobs for
lower paid workers get taken by illegals. This is creating a vast cadre
of very angry Americans who may then look to any racist demagogue
promising to solve the problem.
Pay now, or pay later.

Andy comments:
By "lower paid workers", I think you are talking about black
Americans...
Well, an observation of mine is that I have rarely, in 63 years of
life,
seen black Americans working on house construction jobs.
And I have never seen one working in fields picking vegetables....
So, is it just because I haven't seen enough of America, or is it
because certain jobs don't "attract" some of our "lower paid
Americans"....???
Somebody has to do this stuff. The Mexicans are willing and able.
My only objection is the dependence they have on our taxpayers
in the form of medical help and social programs......
If the employers were REQUIRED to provide their health insurance, and
responsible for them if they didn't pay their share, I would have no
problem
whatsoever with any self-supporting Mexican or (gasp) Latino being in
this
country, legal or otherwise......
.... but that ain't gonna happen....

A preferable idea would be to stem the pressure for migration by not
competing against the Mexican farmer with commodities sold at less than
the cost of production. The majority of the Mexicans have wives and
families that they are trying to support. If they can support them by
working in Mexico, they are less likely to come to the U.S. It would be
a win-win situation all around, and a hellova lot cheaper than hiring an
army of ICE agents to chase them down (which would be prohibitively
expensive anyway).

Black people have always done construction work. When I started as an
apprentice electrician, at least 90% of the laborers were black.
Black people also dominated the meatpacking industry until illegal
Mexicans were recruited by the companies to break the unions.
Black women did the housekeeping at hotels and motels. Now the greedy
owners want slave labor that won't complain, so they hire illegal
Mexican women to do the work.
No black people don't work the fields anymore, and I can't blame them.
We have always had migrant workers, and legal workers from Mexico to do
that work.

Who do you think did these jobs before the Mexicans flooded this country
with cheap labor?
