If they had been doping their jobs before now, there wouldnt be silly and irritating marches protesting the enforcement of our national laws.\r\n\r\nMexico has abused its friendship with the United States, and it has abused its own people by allowing such squalid conditions to exist, with no hope for upward mobility.
