Mexico Is Gonna Sue Us.

What a joke....being under attack from conservatives never prevented liberals from discarding an Official Victim Group when it was convenient. In fact it's usually used as the excuse....remeber "Don't Ask Don't Tell"? Not to mention DOMA.

That's one big problem with collectivism...once you're "collected" you're unecessary.

My big question is exactly how people are going to rationalize the argument that 'we' (citizens of the US) need to fix Mexico's problems in order to solve our immigration problem. I'm not opposed to the idea, in fact in principle I think it speaks very highly of our country if we can wield our power for the benefit of others. However, we've been ousted from the position of benifactor in most cases that of a sort of perverse UN. It's <I>assumed</I> that we should go in and fix other peoples problems. Of course after we spend billions of dollars and hundreds of lives in the problem country we are sent packing with no reparations whatsoever and a warning that we had better not try anything sneaky. Frankly I think we should take an extended hiatus from our role as global bitch, and simply enforce our own rules, protect our own assets, and do a proper job of not meddling where we don't belong.

Of course this also means stopping our billions of dollars worth of 'aid' to the worlds war lords and dictators.
