Yes, the Mexican government is shady. There is no middle class in mexico. Only extremely wealthy, and extremely poor. People come to the US in search of a better life. That has been true since this country was established...that is not in question. They come here wanting to make more money, provide opportunities to their children, and have a better life. Why? because they cannot get this in Mexico. There is no way to go from lower class to upper class. It does not help that the US makes treaties like NAFTA that are supposed to help the economy of both countries, but end up really only benefiting the leaders of the industries. The common people see no real improvement of life. And rather...the poor get more poor, and work environments worsen.
When they come here...yes, some are illegal. Some are fortunate enough to get a green card and obtain some limited legal status. Many have children that are born here. They end up paying state taxes, they pay federal taxes on legal social security numbers and even on fake social security numbers. But nonetheless...they pay. They get sick, their kids get sick...what do you want to happen?? Just ingore it? This poses a huge public health risk. Illness does not know your legal status. There should be some way to provide health care to these people. They obviously do not have health insurance..so how can they pay out of pocket for treatment?? I am not saying that we should have easy access for people to come into the US...rather there needs to be a realistic means of allowing people to come to the US...especially when the US is setting up industries in their native countries and indirectly dictating foreign trends and policies. Once americans use these people as a workforce...they should be given some priveledges. No one is going after the Americans that pay the illegals...we only complain of the illegals being here. They would not be here is there was no jobs available to them.
The solution is not complaining about them being here, and denying them basic services. The solution lies in figuring out how to take care of the ones that are here for the sake of the communities in which they reside...and how to regulate future influx in a humanly manner.
