Following is a recent article about the Mexican government's program to outfit illegal aliens and help them cross the border to the US. This government program provides illegal aliens with information about their rights in the US and they work together with the ACLU and La Raza in the US.
"If you're a Mexican wanting to enter the U.S. illegally, then you can count on the Mexican government's help and support. It even has a special department called Grupos Beta that helps Mexicans cross the U.S. border illegally.
In an interview with CBN News, the head of Mexico's Immigration Service, Hipolito Treviño, denied it.
“Grupos Beta is the Mexican government initiative which does not help people cross the border, but they do assist them when they have problems in the border area,” Trevino said.
But Grupos Beta gives them a booklet, which includes tips on how to safely cross the U.S border. Trevino denied the allegation that immigrants are also given maps by the government.
“No maps,” he said. “We give them recommendations about the dangerous animals they'll encounter, how much water they need every day, what to do in case they get lost, what to do in case they get detained by the border patrol, which paths are dangerous because of crime.”
The reason for the government's help? The cash sent home by Mexicans in the U.S. constitutes the second biggest source of foreign currency in Mexico after the oil industry. Last year that was $20 billion, or 2 percent of Mexico's GDP.
About 10 percent of Mexico's population is now living in the United States, that’s over 10 million people. And how many illegal aliens in its own country has Mexico legalized in the past five years? Just 15,000."

Thank you Susan011! Everyone speaks as though Mexico is a destitute, bankrupt country and that is simply false. Their economic model works great for the top 5% and everyone else is screwed. I'm not saying that's anything new, but it is what is fueling the mass exodus into the US by any means necessary. If we really want to solve the problem and not just put a bandaid on a broken leg, we need to change the way the money from our govt flows in, and fast.

It is time for the Mexican government to be Honest with it's people. The money is in the hands of a priveledged (and corrupt, very rich, few). The government is a pariah state inducing near slavery and destitution in its people and a burden in the U.S. The U.N.should sanction the government of Mexico. and demand that they support HUMAN RIGHTS,

TRY THIS HOLLYWOOD SOLUTION-
1) “THREES COMPANY”-
No alien or child of an alien ever gets citizenship benefits. Fingerprint and Alien ID for any alien (to reduce illegal immigration incentive)
2) “HOME ALONE”-
No use of any mail or package carrier (to stop money sent home to support, import family) I have support from politicians on this and it doesn't cost anything
3) “SOUTH OF THE BORDER”-
Fingerprint and issue $1000 coupon, or whatever it takes, at the border to cash far INSIDE Mexico (enticement to REVERSE Hispanic immigration) Figure what it costs to keep one illegal alien here
4) “RISKY BUSINESS”-
Pay NAFTA to add benefits INSIDE Mexico (less need to immigrate) Build hospitals, maybe Walmart? DEEP inside Mexico.This about ILLEGAL aliens. Legal immigration is controlled. See, "This Land is My Land." Most boundaries are controlled. See, "Oh, Canada." Even free speech is controlled, "Speak now or forever hold your peace." We are very accepting people. We just will not be raped
We can’t stop a river that’s already here but we can build a dam to control it. The river is the money that the illegal aliens want
1Tim 6:10 "For the (longing for) money is a root of all kinds of evil"
Gal 5:14 "For the entire law is fulfilled in one statement: You shall love your neighbor as yourself"This is a time for self-discipline. The discipline(teaching) of others needs to be controlled and fair. We should treat illegal aliens like the neighbor's child throwing a temper tantrum on our lawn. Ignore him and he will go away. If he behaves, he can visit. If he behaves, give him food. If he behaves, tell him he's welcome to come back again.
Matt 7:6 "Do not give what is holy to dogs, and do not throw your pearls before swine, or they will trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces."
This is about breaking the law. If we choose to break the law we should be able to break a law that benefits ourselves as well. Better to spend some money on improving conditions in their homeland. It would give them incentive to stay home and "not break the law" and it would benefit more people.
