The US has like over a million people illegal cross their border every year. Central and South America is the most violent region in the world with the most murders per capita. Mexico is a capitalist country with a properly elected government with no citizens facing persecution from the government. 100% of those illegal border crossers are illegal economic migrants.Originally posted by SueEllen View Post

Sure that's bad optics but its absolutely insane what they allow to happen, there isn't another country in the world that can even compare to what's happening in the USA with its southern border.Comment

Essentially, Mexico is to the US as France is to the UK (just on 'slightly' different scales). People pass through these countries to get to the fabled promised land.Originally posted by jayn200 View Post

So they have the equivalent of 0.3% of their population as illegals every year? 1M/333M people.
Migration watch estimate 70-150,000 illegals a year in a population of 68 million. that is 0.11->0.22%
