a government which steals the wealth of the nation, giving the crooks access to the US market with absolutely no requirement for workers rights is what steals jobs from US workers. If the Mexican government wasn't stealing from it's people, it's people wouldn't come to the US en-mass. I have never met an immigrant legal or illegal who doesn't long to go home...just not at the expense of their children growing up in the same hopelessness that they we born into. Force Mexico to enact worker protections, spend it's wealth on infrastructure, and allow for property ownership, and US jobs will flourish.
