The one thing this Lefty Liberal goofball forgets is that those retiree
BRING MONEY TO SPEND IN MEXICO and provide EMPLOYMENT to tens of thousands
of Mexicans who would be otherwise be farming rocks or packing it through
the desert on their way to jump the fence. Expats living in Mexico are a
blessing to the local economy, which can't be said about the vast majority
of Mexicans heading north.

Hey, but that's okay; Mexico can kick them all out and we'll haul them
all home and seal the border completely if that'll make Mexico happy.
We certainly wouldn't want to intrude in a sovereign nation.

Of course, I don't know where their money will come from then, but
that's an internal problem.

Unfortunately, the Mexican definition of "internal affairs" is as flexible
(nuanced?) as the campus radical's definition of "free speech". Mexicans
seems to believe that dictating our economic and immigration policy to us
doesn't infringe upon OUR internal affairs, but when Americans decide for
themselves what type of immigration policy they want, it's somehow
interfering with the "internal affairs" of Mexico. :O|

It's a lot like the crooks' objecting to the bulletproof vests worn
by police officers.
