Living in mexico is not a death sentence. People who've traveled to Mexico know that it has poor parts and rich parts. It's not a small impoverished hellhole. Republicans want to paint the country that way while at the same time telling peoole they need to go back to Mexico. It makes no fukking sense unless your entire personality boils down to "i want to hurt people who are different from me because it makes me feel good"
It's purely about cruelty. If they want people to go back to Mexico, the plan is extremely simple: tell the truth about latin america, offer to build things down there and invest in latin America. The people who might have gone to america will just make moves laterally within latin america.
