The issue here is American sovereignty, which is something that even your hero Ron Paul still believes in.

The fact of the matter is that the vast majority of those pesos are coming from Mexicans who entered the country illegally. That is why people are upset. As a sovereign nation, the US has a right to decide who can and cannot enter its territory, and Mexicans are no exception. The fact that businesses are now accepting pesos is symbolic of the complete lack of respect for the integrity of our borders. Ron Paul is right about us needing to build a fence along the Mexican border.

Your a gimmick account right? The use of the Canadian dollar around our northern border is quite common yet you don't here any outrage. I am probably more of a hawk on immigration than most on this forum (because ddaahy tuuk eearrr jaahhhhhbbbbss) but to get upset over this is pretty dumb.

People using pesos is symbolic of the larger problem.

And people who put faith in and value symbols, and get emotionally wrapped up in symbols, is a larger problem than that.
