that would be true except neither mexico nor us are into military invasion nor discussing nuclear strikes as a means of settling our differences. the financial rain of wars which we are doing in 3 countries, far exceeds the costs of our problems with mexico.

I disagree. I think that action on the border involving the US military would not only make problems much worse, I believe that fighting would become much more vicious, ruthless, and it'd be very close to home. Do you really want a bunch of thugs who have proven their willingness to commit horrible acts deciding that they want to come up into the border states to bring the fight to us, like we've been doing to other people? Imagine San Diego, or Tucson, or Phoenix turning into the warzone instead of Juarez.

How would you solve the situation then?

Being defenseless against an invasion is worse. We have troops and it does not make sense we are defending other countries for free

Are you scared to defend your country?
