They already do for that sweet affordable health care. Think the Wall is more to keep Americans in these days lol.

That and the propaganda that it's actually Mexicans coming to America instead of folks from all the South American countries we fucked up or displaced from their homes due to climate change.

Or escaping violence we encouraged or enabled.

Propaganda? Mexicans by far make up the largest share of immigrants to the US than any other nationality.

Just a few months ago the CGNJ was driving around literally blowing up random buildings with grenade launchers and spraying machine guns into buildings full of civilians with impunity, all because the government arrested their leader.
I wouldn't wanna touch Mexico with a 10 foot pole, government is powerless to stop this stuff and civilians aren't allowed the tools to defend themselves from it either.

powerless? it's more like unwilling. fucking corrupt government is the problem.

Makes it seem like the legalization of gay marriage is more of a PR move than anything else, if they can't even be bothered to stop cartels from murdering people with machine guns and grenade launchers.

the cartels outnumber any police force/Mexican army and even if they tried to stop them, the cartels will hang your entire extended family from a bridge including your dogs
unwilling isn't really the right word here
keep in mind the cartels are international crime sydicates that rake in BILLIONS upon billions per year, anything they want they will get

Maybe in USA guns have worked as a deterrent, but as a mexican: More guns would worsen the violence here. Neighbors discussions often end in bloody brawls as they are, ex-husbands/ex-boyfriends are killers, etc

I work in the public health care system in a border state. Can confirm, and some of them have preventable sequels from old fractures they didnt get to rest, decades of untreared diabetes, etc

Ya my cousin from Canada is a head nurse in one of the northern states (forget which) and she got hired just because she speaks English and French say most patients who go through are south states Americans.

The Mexican murder rate is 5x the US. Cartels killed like 40 college students with the help of the military in 2014, and the case somehow fell apart. Actual brain rot to think Mexico is a better place, on average, to live than the US
ElleRisalo t1_itzzwev wrote
Did anyone say it was better?
lcmaier t1_iu04bka wrote
What part of "the wall is to keep Americans out lol" was confusing
ElleRisalo t1_iu0g0gg wrote
I didn't say that, is it illiterate day or something.
I said it's to keep Americans in.
lcmaier t1_iu0gfnb wrote
That would imply that Americans want to leave, implying Mexico is more desirable than the US. Why are you being so pedantic about this
ElleRisalo t1_iu0hxxg wrote
I didn't say they want to leave, I said they are crossing the border to get cheaper health care.
The implocation being the US doesn't want Americans doing that.
If you don't understand a comment you shouldn't attempt to infer what people mean....
Also the irony of calling me pedantic...thats rich, ain't my fault you didn't read what I wrote.

Literally you did. Holy shit.
ElleRisalo t1_iu0flmb wrote
I literally didn't.
Brain Rot indeed. Lmao.

Did I misunderstand you implying that the fences were keeping Americans from fleeing into Mexico?

salty Mexicans downvoting a comment depicting facts?

“College students”.
They were pseudo communist shit stirrers who attended a school known for causing endless trouble, who would block roads and hijack trucks and cars.
Around they fucked and out they found.
lcmaier t1_iu04xs8 wrote
Even if this were true, being a pseudo communist shit stirrer who hijacks cars is not grounds for mass murder!
121PB4Y2 t1_iu05w6d wrote
The reality is, until you've lived in an area terrorized by these types of people, you will not be able to understand why people in Mexico laugh at this situation and say well done.
Which is why people in the US can't see the appeal of Bolsonaro, Bukele and Duterte types, while anyone living in a shithole country says damn that's exactly what we need, and lights a candle for General Pinochet.
