    Yeah that’s probably for the best. Things ain’t going so well up here anyway.

        Arguably it is very much a good thing for the us. It means we would have to strengthen trade relations for American industry to stay viable. I’m doing so they would have to back off the immigrant scurge bullshit. Granted that will likely only happen after soft civil war but still.

      You’re misinformed. Things are worse in Mexico, unless you have dollars which have a great exchange rate. So working online for dollars and living in Mexico is great, but making pesos is not as good.

    I’ll contend all day long that the ‘Texas Miracle ™’ is largely built on the backs of underpaid Latin/Mexican labor. (I would say totally, but that oil $$$ does its work too.) Republicans shitting all over immigration does, in fact, rob their localities of economic gains. I hope migrants in Mexico are treated more humanely than the United States has done. Hell, that’s still quite the low bar.

    After the mistreatment they often receive from some Americans, I can’t say I blame them.
