re: Reuters:Mexico will not accept new US immigration policies

The lack of logic is astounding. The U.S. is wrong for removing Mexican illegals but Mexico would be fine to not take their own citizens back.

I agree, that logic is astounding, and flawed.

Luckily it doesn't address my point.

they're cooperating with us by identifying who are Mexican nationals, and letting them back in. They don't have to actually do that.

We have SOME cooperation now, we want to encourage more. We are NOT encouraging more currently with our belligerent attitude.

Mexico has some semblance of a functioning government. If their economy fails completely, we could be looking at a totally failed state, a la El Salvador, Venezuela, etc..., right on our border. That doesn't serve our interest. What does serve our interest is helping Mexico build their economy up, thereby providing Mexicans with incentive to stay in Mexico.

I favor economic solutions with Mexico that are not punitive, and would not work to destabilize our neighbor further.

It's illegal immigration we are concerned with...not immigration.

It's astounding to me how so many of y'all can have such strong opinions on a subject of which you seem to have so little understanding.
