[QUOTE="soberups, post: 720309, member: 14668"] Mexico's "crime problem" is caused by the United States [I]drug problem[/I]. Its [I]our money[/I] they are killing each other for. We make fun of the corrupt Mexican police....yet what can we realistically expect when a Mexican cop who earns $300 a month is offered $10,000 of [I]our drug money [/I]simply to "look the other way" at a drug shipment that [I]we bought and paid for[/I]? I dont have the first clue how to solve the whole illegal immigration problem but I do know this; we cant have it both ways. We cant expect to go to the store and pay $.99 for a head of lettuce while at the same time wanting to make a criminal out of the guy who is out in the field making less than minumum wage to pick it. The same people who bitch and complain about "the damn Mexicans" being here would pitch a fit if they had to start paying [I]full cost[/I] for goods and services that were being provided by Americans instead of illegals. I dont know what the answer is, but I do know that I dont want to live in a police state. And I dont want to live in a society where we exploit cheap, illegal labor only to deport them when we deem them to be inconvenient. We cant have it both ways. Want to put up a Berlin Wall on the border? Fine with me...but dont bitch when you have to start paying for it at the supermarket checkout counter. [/QUOTE]
