You can't afford to care for all the poor of the world. If that's your
agenda, you ought to move most of Africa and a big chunk of Asia to
the US before even thinkig about taking in Hispanics. They are a lot
worse off/

I ask no one to be concerned about me.

So you think that Mexicans are incapable of sorting themselves out
(whatever that means)

Nice try, but the topic was something else.

A lot of out Latin America policy has been stupid, but your attitude
that all their problems are someone else's fault is even worse.
Nations should act in the best interests of their citizens. I don't
