Isn't it time for Mexicans to make a stand?

In their own country? Illegal immigration has been happening for decades, why hasn't anything improved in Mexico? I understand Mexicans come to the U.S. for better life. But why hasn't any of this energy of marching and protesting being placed at the foot of the Mexican government? I really want to know.

Answer:
Many do protest in Mexico for change..They protest daily in Mexico City, the political capital of Mexico.We are talking peasants from all over Mexico go and protest to have their voices heard.You just never hear about here in the States...
The Mexican government is corrupt beyond repair.
AMEN!!!!!!!
Yes in their own country, i agree, not on a corner in America waving a Mexican flag.
The Mexican government refuses to improve conditions because its incompetent and corrupt. People whine about corruption in the United States, but Mexico makes it look like the most accountable place on earth.

Anyway, its probably easier for ordinary citizens to move to the USA and become Americans.
Without a doubt
Have you been following the 'issues'? Their government WANTS them to come here. They even pass out pamphlets to show them how!
Try to remember back to the Ronald Reagan administration. Until then, the US included money for FAMILY PLANNING in foreign aid. Until then, the rate of growth of the Mexican economy was a little bit faster than the rate of growth of the population, meaning it was mathematically possible for people in Mexico to get richer. But in order to appeal to "christian" voters Reagan cut off money for family planning from foreign aid, and then the population started growing faster than the economy, meaning there was NO WAY peoples lives could possibly get better, the population was outgrowing the ability of the economy to feed and clothe them. Mexico needs to eliminate the Church. The Church has forced excess population growth, and therefore poverty, on Mexico. Religion is the enemy of sanity.
I agree with you in totality. And as far as the Mexican govt being corrupt--FIX IT!!!!

Overthrow, revolt, do something. Clearly the Mexicans are capable of throwing hissy fits--they do it in the US !

Try doing it back in your own country, jeez!
well, the Mexican government is so messed up and useless that nothing will ever get done

also, the U.S. needs to block the border, but also help Mexico to better Mexico; that would help the problem too
Yeah ! Me too. Probably because Mexico would lock there a** up and our stupid American government has kissed there a** for long they think they can get away with anything here. The American government needs to stop kissing so much a** and take a stand on this illegal alien problem!
I haven't got a clue why! But I do agree w/ you!
And I have to say that there are becoming more and more Mexicans that have lots of money in the US - why don't they take some of there money and try and make a difference in Mexico!?
Doubt you will get an honest answer from mexicans.

Mexico says it is honoring the NAFTA treaty by 'exporting their workers'.
Translated, they are exporting their poor, their criminals, and there unwanted.
They will not return to mexico or take on their corrupt government until we secure the borders and prosecute the employers of illegals.
Mexico has a reproduction problem. It seems that the "less desirables" are the only ones having hordes of offspring. Hence, the "less desirables" are being encouraged to migrate to the U.S. by the Mexican Government.
In the south, there is an Army that's demanding more rights. THere has been a decade long truce. THe military there is called Zapitista, and it's mostly focussed on more rights for the Indians. My feeling is that the illegal immigrants should march to bring attention to injustice in Mexico. I was told they fear assasination, but they should be safer here. I was mad at Clinton ,when He created NAFTA. I saw the human rights violation, but the Government tried to cover it up. You here more about CHinas Child labor more than those in Mexico.
Yes, however they lack the desire to do so.
Yes.
first of all it's not only mexicans, it's different nationalities. The US government should seriously pressure those governments to implements better jobs and much better education so that these people will eventually get better jobs in their countries and won't have to immigrate here like our ancestors
Their government wouldn't put up with it,the They would probably shoot them all, The mexican Government give the poor a Mexican flag and a map and point them North.
Yes. Now they are going to say it can't be done, but ask them if they have ever tried. I was always told, never say I can't, if youv'e never tried.
I'm trying to figure out the same thing!
Before anyone tries to call me racist, check yourself.
YES!

IN MEXICO, not here!
Not their people fault. Graft and Corruption.. And they neglected poor people.
Sadly the Mexican government is extremely corrupt.They know that illegals sending money back to Mexico only helps Mexico.But yes Mexicans should try to take a stand and personally I think that if the US wants to keep the 50% of illegal Mexicans out of the US they have to try and make the US less appealing and Mexico more appealing.
Yes, it is time.
It is time for the UN to pressure the Mexican government to provide more opportunities for their people under humanitarian purposes and provide support to the Mexican people to effect change there.
Instead of allowing the Mexican government to solve it's poverty issues by exporting the poor, the US should close the border and impose sanctions against Mexico until it makes strides in improving conditions there.
Mexico has wealth and natural resources. It lacks incentive and the moral spine it takes to effect positive change.
Good question... Great question... I've asked this question before. All the passion that the pro-illegals/immigration show over here seems trivial given the fact they won't use that energy back in their homelands. The fact of the matter is that only in the U.S. can they protest and push their agendas without fear of reprisals. Think about it, the biggest supporter of immigration is the Mexican government with all of these smaller immigration groups being funded by the money sent home from the immigrant and illegal workers. The Mexican government is dependent on all of this money. The Mexican government has forced their citizens to risk their lives, work for nothing, and risk deportation, all so they can send hard-earned money back to support this very same government. Makes absolutely no sense.
Their government controls the media and the media portrays the US as a place of dreams. Then the media promotes not learning english, so that the people come here and won't know they are really doing a wrong thing. They won't understand why they are not welcomed here and think they have rights here when they don't. The government there does NOT care about the low-lifes and the criminals and wants to get RID of them. So they watch the spanish news and to them this looks like a dreamland.
