Well said Karen!

I love Mexico, and I have been all over it on close to 50 business trips. The Country would be full of opportunity for its people if the crime and corruption would be controlled.
There are vicious undercurrents there that instill a fear and hopelessness in the poor, not unlike what went on in New York when it was inundated by the then underclass of LEGAL immigrants from Ireland (including my ancestors from County Monaghan). I sincerely hope Mexico finally would get its act together.
While Fox has been a thumb in the eye of the former ruling party (The PRI) and has been a breath of fresh air for the modernization of several aspects of Mexican law, the PAN party he leads is even more hysterical and strident than the PRI when it comes to castigating us for following the same types of laws the Mexicans themselves brutally enforce along their southern border. And I mean brutally.
Anybody living north of our border with Mexico please know that if you tried to live in Mexico and pull off the same crap that Mexicans living here illegally do all the time, the inside of a Mexican jail is where you would end up in a heartbeat... and while I have never been inside a Mexican jail, I have heard they are not nice places.

I completely agree with you. I also live in a border state (Texas). I teach school and have had 100s of kids that have come directly from Mexico. BUT, I feel as if they are not here legally and if they are breaking the law they should be punished to the full extent of that law.
I am usually a very liberal person on many counts, but not on this one. The chances we are taking with lax border security is a huge chance post 911.

Leviticus 19:33-34.
Aliens, whether here legally or illegally, are generally treated better than the place they have come from. They receive food and shelter, medical care, and education.
