would be run down and arrested. It just goes on and on. I think the reasons are partly bigoted. The US seems to have an antagonistic view of Mexico as drug dealing foreigners and potential illegal immigrants and don't really care what happens over the border. There should be a better partnership because these things are not far from the US and could spill over the border. There are extremely desolate places along the border and it would be easy to hide the fact that this is happening here. Billing a fence to keep people out is not an answer. Cooperation would make for a better life and expand a better model for any person south of the US border to come to America.

Keeping drugs illegal is just asking for more of this to happen.
