The Great Wall of Mexico

The Great Wall of Mexico
There is a lot of fuss about the security of the Mexican Border.  Why is there a problem?  Duu?  Because Mexican workers need jobs and we need Mexican workers.  And, because our policies don’t allow this to happen.

What about American workers losing their jobs.  There are two parts to this.  One is the last legitimate prejudice in the world.  You are allowed to be prejudice against someone because of where they are born.  You may support policies that embody this prejudice and still be an okay person.  Well, not in my book.  At best you can be misguided.  A child born in Mexico, on the south side of the Rio Grande, deserves a job just as much as one born on the north side of the river. Period.  The only question is how to make it happen.  Anything that moves away from this principal is being prejudice against someone because of his or her place of birth.  Nationalist is very close in principal to racism.

Second, U.S. workers are losing jobs.  But, it will happen whether or not the Mexicans are involved.  See China.  See India.  Wakeup, smell the competition.  If the U.S. wants to stay on top of the food chain, then learn one word: Education.  Mexico doesn’t matter much in the bigger picture.  It is called, watched my lips, G..L..O..B..A…L..A..Z..A..T…I…O…N.  Globalization, coming to a job near you.  Couple that with the upcoming End of Cheap Energy and mission control, “We have a problem.”  The Mexicans, the south-of-the-river people are as likely to be a part of this solution as north-of-the-river people.
