I'm glad somebody American is doing something useful along the border. It's kind of hard to win a border war when only one side is fighting... Mexico is NOT America's friend.

Austin-
Good on you guys to cover Latin America (and Africa too) better than most sources- even if I usually disagree with your political outlook. The fact is that virtually no one in the "main-stream" press (including Fox) makes any effort to cover the destabilizing effects of Mexico's misfortune to share a long border with the largest illegal drug consuming nation in the world.

I am not an expert on inter-American relations, but why 'Mexico is NOT America's friend' ? I mean, there are always some issues between any two neighbor countries, but beyond that ...

Brief history lesson.
Please read the parts about Texas, slavery, California gold and the rapaciousness of the irregulars on both sides.
Major highlights:
The Mexican-American War (1846-1848) marked the first U.S. armed conflict chiefly fought on foreign soil
. It pitted a politically divided and militarily unprepared Mexico against the expansionist-minded administration of U.S. President James K. Polk, who believed the
United States had a “manifest destiny” to spread across the continent to the Pacific Ocean
. A border skirmish along the Rio Grande started off the fighting and was followed by a series of U.S. victories. When the dust cleared,
Mexico had lost about one-third of its territory, including nearly all of present-day California, Utah, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico.
Reconquista.
Just to let you know how serious that issue was,
the United States went to war with Germany over it
, as well as the freedom of the seas.
It is WELL understood that
Mexico is a permanent enemy of the United State
The only reason Mexico behaves is because we own them as a satrapy The Mexican gov't relies on demographics via illegal immigration to overwhelm the US. This is aided and abetted by elements of the US political left who want to change the make-up of the US to reflect a socialist electorate at all costs (including national sovereignty and integrity (I call them traitors, but they call themselves the left wings of the democrat and republican parties.)

I am, more or less, familiar with historic events that you mentioned. I suppose you know better. However, in Europe everyone fought almost everybody else at some point in the past, so it is not such a big deal.

My nation has a more recent experience with this kind of migratory invasion. The politics is very twisted and morally evil. You can't know how evil until you are drowning in it.
