Seems to me we’ve done a pretty good job of “training” the Mexicans that there are better things on this side of the fence. Otherwise, why the hell would they be coming over here? It also seems to me that if you want to stop the influx of Mexicans coming over/through the fence, you’d better put some focus on the folks over here with the carrots. You’d also better be looking at the big picture of things when you do. Coming down on the folks employing them will have some pretty big repercussions. If you can’t understand this…..I doubt you ever will……..
If you could just snap your finger and they’d all be gone. Don’t think for a second that you’d be OK with the economic results. And, don’t think for a second that all the jobs they left open would be filled with legal Americans that you seem to think are now waiting for the chance. Also - Many of those that would take some of the jobs, wouldn’t have them available for long.
BTW - We have a pasture full of horses here. My daughter has 3. My son has 1. My wife and I each have 2. None of them have been “trained” to jump anything. All but the Shetland will jump the fence (or plow through it. Ref. the tank of a Paint Horse she‘s on, attached) if we didn’t feed them where they are, and teased them with rolled oats or carrots on the other side of the fence. No (normal) horse will starve to death while looking at (and smelling) feed through a fence. None of ours will, anyway. Not sure what your kids are riding.
If you’re hungry enough - you wont either. And no one had to train you to climb a fence.
