Grady,

You are profiling the poor people of Mexico...they come to America for a better life.

Yes, crimminals come into the US to sell drugs. US citizens who are crimminals go into Mexico to get the drugs and bring them back here to sell. Does that make every citizen of either country crimminal?

Overgeneraliztions= message failure.

Of course not, they become criminal as soon as they violate the laws of either country. Crossing our border without proper authorization or over staying one’s legally authorized stay, is a violation of the law and as such is criminal. Whatever the reason for violating the law, it’s still criminal. :bash

Simple solution, legalize drugs. Save hundreds of billions on enforcement and incarceration costs.

Point missed Neptune - I was calling someone on their overgeneralization that all Mexicans are crimminals.

My comment was addressed to the OP, not your post. I did not see the overgeneralization in the OP.

Perhaps it was in the embedded links, but I did not follow any of them.

Where did I say anything about Mexicans?
What I said was

“Of course not, they become criminal as soon as they violate the laws of either country. Crossing our border without proper authorization or over staying one’s legally authorized stay, is a violation of the law and as such is criminal. Whatever the reason for violating the law, it’s still criminal.

Just be absolutly clear, any person or persons regardless of country of orgin crossing our border without proper authorization or over staying one’s legally authorized stay, is in violation of the law and as such is criminal. Whatever the reason for violating the law, it’s still criminal.

So it's Not just for the Pizza.
