The immigration warrior
But there's a reason for the exodus from Mexico. The country is run by a corrupt elite that manages to enrich itself but cannot lead the country to prosperity. American corporations have a lot to do with the existence and permanescence of that corruption. And American corporations like Wal-Mart and other American employers have profited from the flood of desperate labor. Perhaps so have all of us, in one form or another.
If we fail to deal with that central issue-- our role in promoting corruption and poverty in Mexico-- immigration will continue.
