Mexico squanders its chance - Ruben Navarrette

“Americans and Mexicans have more in common than you might imagine, and that’s not necessarily a positive thing. People in both countries respond to illegal immigration into the United States in ways that are dishonest, insulting and counterproductive, and they spend too much time blaming each other for situations they helped create.

Many Americans find it easier to blame Mexico for the problem of illegal immigration rather than own up to the fact there wouldn’t be a problem if employers on this side of the border weren’t gobbling up illegal workers. It’s as if we’re desperately pleading with our neighbor, “Stop us before we hire again.”"
