Ill take the Libertarian stand on this issue....Open Borders.

Fuck'em. They should go make their native countries better.
You said it correctly, it's exploitation and I want no part of it. Giving away citizenship doesn't solve the problems, either in Mexico or America, it's just an incentive for more people to disregard our law. The amnesty given in the 80s proves that beyond all measure.
We don't need migrant workers. We have a monumental unemployment percentage right now.
How anyone can say that we need WORKERS or that the 20-30+ million illegal aliens here aren't part of the problem is beyond me.
Just because Mexicans pay a few sales tax and buy products when they live here doesn't mean they're good for the economy. If they weren't here an American would have that job, pay those taxes and buy those products only difference being he would ALSO pay income tax and ALSO keep the money localized and not send it western union back to Mexico.
Also it infuriates me that these ppl are considered heroes or poor dignified refugees....they're not. People sharing a fucking life raft with 20 other families leaving Cuba to be imprisoned or killed if they're caught. THAT'S A refugee.
An adulterous woman from Iran looking to avoid a beheading. THAT'S a refugee (and one we wouldn't even allow her in very easily)
If you escape or even TRY to escape from North Korea...they kill your entire family. Uncles, Aunts, Grandparents, Cousins, Parents, Nephews, Neices, ect. THAT'S A refugee.
People leaving mexico to illegally poach jobs from americans are on no such high ground.
Mexico sucks right now and has sucked for it's entire history because of an inability of the Mexican ppl to throw off the shackles of their aristocracy.
No part of letting illiterant farm hands and el salvadorian gangs border hop is going to solve that problem.
Do you really want open borders? You want this "job-goes-to-the-lowest-bidder" type country to suddenly get a 200million person influx of illiterate, superstitious, workers?
You think we'll get back to the moon that way? You think our failing infrastructure will magically sustain twice the ammount of low income people?
You've seen how Mexicans vote...you want them picking your president?
It's not personal against Mexicans. I'd be against British or Irish or African or any other type of people who sought to come here and take advantage of our country and her citizens.
This is our country, like it's policies or not we can't allow ourselves to be raped by foreigners.
Is this racist ?
