Its a toss up, for me. On one hand, why should we waste resources in someone elses country?
But on the other hand, who's to say that wouldnt be a much WISER use of resources? Say we have $1,000,000 to spend (arbitrary number just for conversations sake). Say we spend that million on border patrol jobs, and manage to decrease illegal immigration by 5%.
If that same million dollars was spent on improving conditions in Mexico, and led to a decrease in immigration by 10%.. would that not then be a worthwhile use for the money?
You dont want to spend US resources on another country, but would you still take that position if the same money would have twice the impact if spent as Ive described?
