Yet they've refused to do so. There is absolutely zero reasons why Mexico should not have a strong economy and a prosperous middle class. That strong middle class providing a constant tax/revenue base for the government. Some of the richest people in the world live in Mexico. Some of the poorest/most destitute people in the world live in Mexico. The middle class (as compared to the U.S.) is almost non-existent. It is a chaotic mess in Mexico and much of it is spilling over to our side. That $400. million should go toward finishing off the Duncan Hunter Fence and the I-9 enforcement program. Speaking of the Houston Chronicle, almost on a weekly basis now (or more frequent) we're treated to stories in the left leaning rag about our citizens being run down and killed by some drunken illegal. Or similar. This past week it was one of our valiant HPD Officers mowed down and killed by an illegal alien. The powers-that-be fail to realize one thing. We grieve over the unnecessary deaths of our fellow citizens. Even though we never met them. And after that grief period, the grief turns into anger. And we don't forget those who lost their lives and those who are responsible due to their lack of action. Darvin Dowdy Mexico has had decades to solve its own problems. Yet they've refused to do so.
