Politicians constantly talk about stopping the illegal immigrants that are coming from Mexico, but putting a wall has never and will never be a solution since the reason why so many displaced keep coming across the border is mostly to escape the crime, corruption, inequality, and violence of they have to live in their home countries. The worst part is that most of these terrible things is that happen in third world countries are rooted in constant subversion by developed countries, primarily the US. I feel like since we caused this (even if in part) we should help stop it now, even if we didn’t publicly admit guilt to save face.

So, how do we do it? Do we straight up invade Mexico and go on a full out war against the cartels like we did against Osama Bin Laden?

If not, why not? And, is there anything that can be done?

I would like to keep things civil. Please, let’s keep this respectful as I know this is a tough issue and there is anger on both sides of this issue.

    I absolutely agree that we need to have fences to control immigration.

    I also agree that investing on Mexico is a great idea and I hope it grows.

    EDIT: Well that’s fucking wierd, there was a whole chunk of comment that I had written but then deleted and my Voyager app decided to partially undelete. Never seen that one but my phone has been acting very sus today. Apologies for the confusion.

        Sorry about that, I have no idea either. I was originally writting another idea as a response, but decided to delete it as it didn’t make sense to me once I read it to myself, but my Lemmy Client decided to undelete a chunk in the middle. I promise I’m not under the influence of drugs.
