An entertaining article has emerged from the Texas Fred blog, posted on September 29, 2016. Here, we have a critique that is primarily aimed at staunch Republicans and anyone who stands by Donald Trump's wall. Half a million US born kids are living in Mexico with deported parents trying to assimilate to Mexican culture. TFB (TexasFred Blog) is criticizing Mexico due to their strict immigration laws in comparison to the U.S. (implying it is hypocritical of them to have such laws) and children are struggling because of it. TFB does not seem concerned with the treatment of the children who are struggling to adapt to a completely new culture with little help from Mexican government; he seems more critical of the fact that Mexico has strict immigration laws and is upset that "American society is supposed to welcome *anchor babies* with open arms and wallets" Never mind the fact that these children have a little to zero choices in a situation like this…
"In the last seven years, approximately 4.2 million Mexicans have returned to their home country from the US with an order of deportation, according to the Department of national security... Official records show one out of four ends up bringing the entire family back to Mexico... This explains why there are currently 498,000 US born minors living in Mexico, many of them Spanish illiterate and struggling to adapt." A statement from Latino Fox News.
Although, I DO believe that Mexico should welcome these binational children and assist the families with attaining proper documentation, etc. I think TFB's argument is unsound and morally skewed, and is upset at the soaring Hispanic population throughout the US and is xenophobic towards any immigrants in the US, no matter what the situation may be.
