What is Americas ''beef'' with Mexico?

Not if the illegal hiring companies followed our laws, or we enforce our laws on hiring illegals.
Some want to blame the person trying to live and feed their family, instead of the one's doing the hiring to increase profit margin.

 

as a resident in a border state this is the first I'm hearing of any beef.

 

no clue, it's a christian nation like republicans want, think they would love it

 

Catholics ain't true christians!

 

oh, so when America counts the % of Christians we need to subtract Catholics?

70.6% - 20.8% = 49.8%

what about Mormon, subtract them too, any others?

 

Lots of people.

But are you with Trump on this one, America First over Globalism?

That's the choice.

 

Subtract them all! Only Buddhists are true loving christians!

 

So is Mexico racist or what?

 

I think all countries are racist, However I think the semantics are wrong about the word racist and what a racist is. All that racism means is biased towards ones own .

 

Ya, that's the last thing we need to do. I think we're all tapped out with the whole war, and invading other places for awhile, hopefully.

 

Trump outsources jobs, I prefer America first, bring the jobs back home

let's raise taxes on corps that outsource.....

 

The numbers at issue were how many illegals were on the US dole.

 

Well that and the amount of currency leaving the US to south of the border to never be spent and recirculated in the upper 48. NOT good for the economy.

 

Why are the Japanese separated from the Chinese? They're all Asians, right?

Why are the Brazilians separated from the Argentinians? They're all South Americans, right?

 

We need to find the balance. And remain a major player in the globalization.
If we totally isolate, we will become what Britain is today. Remember, not to long ago, they were a major player.

 

That's a TERRIBLE analogy. Most all of the European powers colonized well beyond their means of control. They effectively all "Roman Empired" themselves, over-extended, and became 2nd world powers.

 

The U.K. is still a major player. They've slipped in relation to the U.S. over the last 100+ years simply because they're smaller (1/5 the size of the U.S), not because of any inadequacy on their part or because of Brexit. I think they're still the 5th largest economy in the world behind the U.S., China, Japan, and Germany.

 

Terrible analogy. But yet you say they over extended themselves. Well, if we keep only having service jobs or welfare recipients, we have over extended ourselves. Although, that won't happen until the US$ is not the worlds currency.

 

The amount of money the US pisses away protecting the rest of the world is enough to invest in production here. No one ever said trade is bad, it benefits all countries. There's a difference between trade and formal OR informal occupation of other countries though. It's high time the others nutted up and spent their own resources for that, not ours.

 

A major player, but nothing like the turn of the 20th century.

The British had the largest empire by far in 1914, and the largest the world had ever seen then and now. Unlike Germany's, the British Empire was rewarding economically, India being the crown Jewel of the British Empire, also still having the large colonies of Canada and Australia. The British Empire's combined population was the largest in the world by far, London was seen as the centre of the world and the Royal Navy had defeated the Germans in the Naval Race.

 

Huh? I have no clue what you are talking about. Americans don't have a problem with Mexicans. We have a problem with illegal immigration.

 

Most of our resources is keeping military bases in other countries, is it not?
That goes against the RW view of the world. Many say we need to keep our military strong and our foot on their throats(my interpretation).

 

LOL!! One shoe size does not fit all feet. There is no such thing as a RW monoculture, just different tiers of sanity to the right of the unhinged left.

 

Wow, how did you get monocultuire from my post? Are you unhinged?

 

Not even close. We are certainly one of the most militarized societies in the world, but that's more the result of a global military vacuum than high American spending.

Only the Russians and some Middle Eastern countries are more militarized than us. There are exceptions, like North Korea and Singapore.
