Ever Wondered What We Should Get For $320,000,000 a Year?

Now here's a delicious little rhetorical question for you:  "What should America get from Mexico in exchange for its annual "welfare" contribution?

For some strange reason, we give Mexico, and about 100 other countries, most of which truly hate us, $Billions and $Billions and $Billions in Foreign Aid a year.  I don't know when it started, or how long it will continue, but so long as there are little kids starving in Appalachia, and homeless vets sleeping on sidewalks here in America, I suggest we redirect our economic priorities.  But back to what we can and should  expect in return for our largesse...

Should we get friendship?  Fidelity?  Support?  Consideration of our laws?  Joining with us in fighting criminal activities?  Of course.  But from Mexico?  Ummmmmmmm, no.

What Mexico DOES do, on the other hand (I wonder who was the very first dude who came up with that, "On the one hand...," stuff?), is export its poor, which has become its Number One source of Annual Income.  Some $27,000,000,000 (that's Billion, with a "B) is realized each and every year in "remittances" from expat Mexicans who break into our country, and then proceed to work here illegally, on felonious Social Security numbers, and then send the money they earn back home to momma in Hermosillo.

And if you just cannot inculcate how much $27 Billion really is, think of this:  With it you could buy more than 10,000 brand-new Ford Mustang convertibles, with full power and A/C.  Every year... 

Put another way, that enormous sum we give Mexico is greater than the Gross National Product of the Nation of Palau!

(Where's Palau?  I don't know, but what we give to Meheeeeeko every year is bigger than its GNP.)  

What they do do (doo doo?) is provide help and assistance to caravans of Central Americans who travel 1,000 miles or more across Mexico on their way to the Promised Land.  Instead of taking them in as refugees fleeing pain and torment, like any good touchy/feely country should, they speed them along their merry way toward their "good friend," Estados Unidos.  

One must ask him/her/itself:  If Mexico's No. 1 Export is their poor, why would they deign to take in anyone else's?  And if they can make their cash registers ring to the tune of $320 Million a year from an obviously daft Uncle Sugar, while simultaneously avoiding their responsibilities to the People of America, and by extension the entire World, why would they even consider changing their policies?  

I wouldn't, would you?
