Do the Mexican wives and mothers and grandparents like the idea of being abandoned by their family? I doubt it. Do they profit? No.
40 million or more Mexicans, legal and illegal send “home to mamma” $20 billion a year. How far does $500 a year go in Mexico?
Mexican men have abandoned their families and villages. Some villages have been emptied by the mass exodus encouraged by their government. Mexican corporations are now drawing on an illegal alien labor pool of their own. Families, the bedrock of all civilizations, have been destroyed and will continue being destroyed.
When the past repeats itself, and 20-30 million people are brutally deported to Mexico, what then?
Look to the past, for the answer. It’s there.
