Real wages for 90 percent of americans are declining. You are terrible people if you want that trend to continue.

No, you're a terrible person if you think Americans "deserve" to make a few extra thousand whereas Mexicans don't deserve to eat.
[/ QUOTE ]
Well, "deserve" is a moral or ethical judgment, not really an objective standard. Blue-collar Americans are not to be faulted for placing their own interests first, just as you are not to be faulted for putting your own self-interest above the interests of your opponents when you try to win over them at poker.
Also, I'm afraid I still don't fully understand why Mexico apparently can't become prosperous in its own right: Mexico has a large and eager work force, as well as abundant natural resources including oil, so...why must Mexicans move to the United States in order to eat?
