This is refreshing. Ordinary people on both sides of the border whose lives are adversely affected by the policies created by "their betters" know the score!
Believe-it-or-not, not all Mexicans want to come to the United States. I don't blame them. The culture and climate are radically different, English is a difficult language to learn, and Americans tend to have a harder edge than do Mexicans. But those are not the reasons for the women's request. Here's their story by David Yeagley at FrontPageMag.com:

As I have indicated in another post,
Not all Mexican women want to have ?anchor babies? in the Unites States. The real Mexican women of Tecalpulco want their migrant men to come back home and take care of the babies they left behind. ?Close the U.S. borders!? they say. ?Send our men back home!?
Tecalpulco is a small village in Guerrero, Mexico, on Mexico?s southernmost border. It is just north of the city of Campuzano. Tecalpulco is famous for hand-made craft and jewelry. There is an internationally known artisans establishment there called ArtCamp. Vacationers know the place. The artisans run a coop, and they?re subject to the pressures of global market manipulation.
But their men don?t care. They?ve all moved norte, to join the mass trespassing movement in America.
And the women of southern Mexico are tired of this nonsense. They have expressed their protest to BadEagle.com, where a number of pieces on Mexican issues have been posted in recent weeks. BadEagle.com has received direct mail from the artisanas campesinas, the women who make the famous jewelry.
I?ve gotten permission to post this correspondence. The women write from the heart in imperfect English, as one might expect.
Here is the first, from May 4, 2006:
When our men went to the United States they were young and adventurous; They have had their adventure, now we want them to come home to us and to their families and to their home country. Close the border so that the ones who are here do not leave. We have work now and the men can help us to sand-down and polish the jewelry.
Our group is of women from the village of Tecalpulco. The tradition of our village is handcrafted fashion jewelry. Since the men have left, we women have organized a good business of fashion jewelry production in cottage industry. The men can help us, they don?t have any excuse to stay [in America].
