Hello,
I'm kind of new here, but I and very curious on the conservative views regarding Mexico and immigration. Don't know if this is the right board to post this on, but whatever.
I myself am a liberal, and my grandparents where from Mexico. I have heard many extreme and crazy ideas from conservatives in regards to illegal immigrants, some going so far as to say we should establish a war zone along the border and open fire on anyone who tries to cross.
I'm not denying there are bad aspects of illegal immigration, but in my opinion the good aspects that Mexicans bring far outweigh the bad. There are issues concerning the amount of crime, violence and drugs that Mexicans bring into America, but this is more a result of poverty than of culture.
Anywho, I'm interested in hearing some conservative views, preferable rational ones, on the issue of Mexican immigration. I have my own ideas, but I think I'll post them later on.
