138. My point is no matter how much the US might want to, we can't solve...

...all the problems in the world. Like it or not, a certain responsibility for Mexico does fall on Mexico. Some of their problems will need to be solved by them. Stepping in to meddle will only cause more problems for us.

We can provide aid - with oversight so we know it didn't get pocketed by corrupt officials. We can suggest programs that might help. But in the end, we are as dependent on actions by the Mexican government as the impoverished are.

In that environment, and given our own economic problems, I would say that border enforcement becomes MORE necessary, not less so.
