This thread was created because the temptation to resort to the poor me routine and put the blame on the "foreigner" (in this case the country of Mexico), to use the other as a escapegoat for the incompetence of the US government is just too great, too appealing to resist.
It's despicable but absolutely human.
I am almost sixty, I have seen the change in this country in the last twenty + years. In my opinion, not good changes. I don't blame people for things they don't do. Illegal aliens, they put on this "poor me " routine all the time. I am not buying it. In 1914, fear of foreigners was ridiculous. But in 2014, post 9/11, and the huge growth in the (Hispanic ) immigrant population, it's not too unreasonable.
You think no one said the same sort of thing in 1914? You are a sad, frightened person determined to be old and feeble before your time because it serves as an excuse.
As usual, insults from Unkotare are the forum's biggest COMPLIMENTS. Good post, MaryL.
