1. You know what, I can think of no moral objection...
But also I'm dismayed at the idea that they can ONLY achieve livable wages here in the United States. To be honest, I don't begrudge them, I'm pissed at my government, and their governments, in many cases, that created this situation in the first place. Whether its the outright Corruption of the Mexican Government for 60 years, or the US lead NAFTA that was fosted on them that destroyed any semblance of a workable economy down there, all of this contributes to Illegal Immigration. Now, while many other Countries in Latin America are solving the first problem mentioned, and are in the process of slowly rebuilding what was torn down for many years, Mexico is hampered by NAFTA and the United States. And we want to make the VICTIMS of this atrocity be further penalized, what will that accomplish?

Look at my thread on Illegal Immigration, and but ONE way to SOLVE the problem.
