That is a true but frustrating observation. There is nothing we can do to MAKE them institute the reforms necessary for that to happen. And they are unwilling or incapable of doing it themselves. The only real solution to the US-Mexico border is to raise the standard of living in Mexico.

Once again, you are right, Josh. However, the Mexican government is the one who needs policies to raise the standard of living there, not ours. We can help, but if we help too much it will have the opposite of the desired effect. One thing that they need to do is keep an honest government in place long enough to have its projects bear fruit. I've heard that the entire country is littered with projects started by one regime and abandoned by another. Mexican guest workers do many jobs Americans are not willing to, they work hard, and they often do a good job. My son, however, does not have a very good opinion of them because he competed with them in the Christmas tree farms in Oregon when he was in highschool. He and his friends worked harder and did a better job than the Mexicans and did not appreciate having to watch out for a load of them driving uninsured automobiles.
