It should, but it won't.

Hell we will be lucky if any of the left side of our community comments on it.

I agree. Perhaps one of these days we'll be the shining beacon of freedom and prosperity that Mexico is. Just like you guys, I figure being as much like Mexico as possible is nothing but a good thing.

You're right, probably because they'd be dead.

Widespread abuse of migrants in Mexico is 'human rights crisis'
28 April 2010

The Mexican authorities must act to halt the continuing abuse of migrants who are preyed on by criminal gangs while public officials turn a blind eye or even play an active part in kidnappings, rapes and murders, Amnesty International said in a new report released on Tuesday.

Invisible Victims: Migrants on the Move in Mexico, documents the alarming levels of abuse faced by the tens of thousands of Central American irregular migrants that every year attempt to reach the US by crossing Mexico.

"Migrants in Mexico are facing a major human rights crisis leaving them with virtually no access to justice, fearing reprisals and deportation if they complain of abuses," said Rupert Knox, Mexico Researcher at Amnesty International.

"Persistent failure by the authorities to tackle abuses carried out against irregular migrants has made their journey through Mexico one of the most dangerous in the world."

Kidnappings of migrants, mainly for ransom, reached new heights in 2009, with the National Human Rights Commission (CNDH) reporting that nearly 10,000 were abducted over six months and almost half of interviewed victims saying that public officials were involved in their kidnapping.

An estimated six out of 10 migrant women and girls experience sexual violence, allegedly prompting some people smugglers to demand that women receive contraceptive injections ahead of the journey, to avoid them falling pregnant as a result of rape.

No they would still be in Mexico.

For your argument to make even the least bit of sense, you'd have to show that Mexico's harsh anti-immigrant treatment has prevented immigration into and through Mexico. It's quite obvious this isn't the case.

We got some "comments" from some of the left now didn't we ? This for example:

Since when has Mexico ever been our standard for anything? (except Mexican food?)

That these statements are complete nonsense will escape other leftists, they will actually AGREE with them.

Whatever the case, why has America never enforced its own laws concerning immigration and illegal immigration ?

Ah, because we like the cheap easy labor we get from them. And since slavery is now something we don't do anymore, we have this.

It's the same game(s) humans have always played of exploiting other humans.

We ALSO need them to keep coming in because our aging population is going to need them here to keep the economy strong, get our work done for us and pay taxes to pay for all of our entitlements.

Exploitation.

That's all.
