Touch Ground: Massimo Cristaldi documents cost of migration

Marty,

You are confusing my having described reality with my having created reality. What I am saying happens, happens. Obama has deported more illegal immigrants than any other President, so his policy is not one-sided towards illegal immigrants.

If you want, go stand on the border, wave your arms, and say, “Don’t come up here! We don’t want you!” See if it works. If it doesn’t, then you might try my solution, which would be to increase opportunities to create a middle class in Latin American countries, rather than take advantage of them at every single opportunity economically, militarily, etc.

Go to the Mexican border. You’ll find lots of maquiladoras, factories where slave wages are paid to produce goods destined for North America. That is just a symbol of the relationship between the U.S. and these countries. You can’t have it both ways. If you step on the neck of these countries economically, their poor people will continue emigrating here.
