Latin America and "The Fence"
I see that the various Latin American "leaders" are sniveling and moaning about the 700-mile border fence that we're going to build along our border with Mexico. See the whole article HERE.

Speaking to reporters, Costa Rican President Oscar Arias called the fence "shameful" and said the money spent on it "would be better invested if it was used by the poor neighbors of the south to educate our kids." |
I'd like to make a couple of points to our "friends" to the South.
Educating YOUR children is not OUR problem. Since you are sovereign nations educating YOUR children is YOUR responsibility.
Managing YOUR country well enough for YOUR people to want to stay home is YOUR responsibility.
Running YOUR economy well enough to provide an education for YOUR children is YOUR responsibility.
You might ask yourselves, O Leaders, why in the world YOUR people are desperate enough to want to leave YOUR paradise to come to America? And then, O Leaders, you might want to address the issue like an adult, rather than whine like a spoiled child.
Blaming the United States for protecting OUR home from YOUR invasion is like a burglar being mad at the owner of a house for putting locks on the doors.
Special note to the government of Mexico: A large segment of the population of the United States is growing impatient with your whining and moaning. I strongly urge you to get your own house in order before casting aspersions at ours.
