Sadly, the American educational system is focused entirely on testable skills at the expense of teaching people to think for themselves, so it should come as no surprise that most narrow minded people presume to speak for educated people everywhere. Most educated people got a crap education and had it drilled into their heads that public policy is an outlier better suited for an advanced economics class.

Most educated people ought to recognize that picking up rocks and throwing them back would be childish, and that the border patrol ought to be able to rise above rock throwing, not by taking it up a notch, but by ignoring it. Americans want the moral high ground, but we can’t ever seem to let something go and so we rush to the defense of people who’ve combined petty childish bullshit with power and abrasive chemical compounds to torment our neighbors.

I do not know anyone who is against immigration, but most educated people, including hispanics, are against the illegals who are driving down wages and bringing crime to our neighborhoods.

Er… do you have any factual evidence to back up any part of this statement? By which I mean, the “most educated people” part as well as the claim that undocumented immigrants are driving down wages and increasing crime. Those statements sound like conservative rhetoric to me, not actual demonstrated fact.

Sure, there should be a “path to citizenships”, but not without some sort of reparation to the US people, such as a fee.

As far as the smoke or gas canisters over the fence. Don’t throw stuff over and nothing will come back. If neighborhoods would drive out the hoodlums who are throwing the rocks, then gas would not come their way. This is the way of the world. By looking the other way, they are aiding and abetting the rock throwers.

Please do not blame America for the sad state of Mexico. Yours is notoriously one of the most corrupt governments in the world, the most willing to sacrifice its people for profit. We have companies in Mexico using Mexican labor at a fraction of the cost that they are worth… and guess who signed that contract??? YOUR government. Your government advocates and profits from the drug trade as much as our does… I’ve buried 6 siblings because of the drug trade. I think ANY who profits or supports profiting from the drug trade should have their brains blown out in a public square. Please, clean up your own backyard before bitching about ours.

I don’t advocate violence on any front for any reason… (except those guys I just mentioned) particularly when it victimizes women and children.

It’s just a shame that people… no matter what soil they stand their feet on… are fucked up.

For that to be true the walls would have to actually restrict immigration, which doesn’t seem to be the case.
