Minutemen on the Border

Good point Billy D.

PJ,

Bush isn't doing anything about the illegal immigrants, but do you seriously think the democrats would do anything? It just might be that the solution isn't quite that easy. I am sure that there are a ton of politics involved which deal with the Latin American countries.

What I do not understand is why barely anything is made in Central America or South America. If these people are willing to work for so cheap in the US, why can't we pay them in their own country. Why are textile factories in Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Vietnam and China, but I barely see anything coming from Mexico, Venezuela, etc. I would think that the transportation cost would be much lower for the corporation. One such corporation that springs to mind is Columbia. I have a lot of their gear and it is mostly made in Asia.

We are making Iraq a better place to live, so why can't we do that in these other countries around us? That way, they will want to stay where they are.

I have also tossed around taking over Mexico, and moving on after we get that under control. We need a border between us and the rest of Central America that is as tiny as possible, thereby allowing it to be monitored as easily as possible.

Several hundred years ago, the US had no problem taking land from the Indians and the Mexicans and minding its own business. Now, we are helping everybody and their mother abroad, having or soldiers killed, our economic resources wasted, and receiving nothing in return. Why is this?
