Mexico's Gifts to America: Illiterate Peasants, Salmonella, and Disease

As we Americans prepare to celebrate our 232nd birthday as a sovereign nation, we would be remiss if we did not acknowledge the influence that our neighbors to the south exert on our economy, health, and culture.

Although open borders advocates would say that unlawful migration from Mexico enriches America with new foods, language, and culture, the truth is exactly the opposite.

In fact, having Mexico as a neighbor is a disaster for America because of the tens of millions of illiterate peasants, Salmonella-tainted tomatoes, and disease brought into our great nation by third-world criminals.

Mexican food is hardly a blessing, given the lethal mix of salt, fat, cholesterol, and carbohydrates found in tacos, burritos, and refried beans. America's national diet has deteriorated rapidly with the introduction of these third-world junk foods into mainstream; diabetes and heart disease are nearly pandemic.

Diseases conquered here long ago are cropping up again, carried here by Mexican peasants who should not even be in the nation to begin with. The fact that US politicians and corporations are willing to expose the American people to the ravages of tuberculosis and other maladies just for cheap labor is scandalous.

Illegal aliens also devastate America's educational system as hordes of non-English speaking children invade our schools and retard the learning and educational progress of US citizens and others that have a right to be here.

"Dumbing down" is the correct colloquial term to describe the impact that Mexico is having on American curriculum and teaching standards. The fact that liberal teachers would rather deny a quality education to American citizens than risk harming the self-esteem of illegal aliens is most unhelpful.

Another tragic result of being Mexico's neighbor is the fact that nation cannot, or will not, house, feed, educate, or provide medical care for its own citizenry. The simpler (for Mexico) solution is to dump millions of illiterate peasants on the US side of the border for American taxpayers to deal with.

Happy Birthday wishes from Mexico? Thanks, but no thanks!
