To solve a problem, you must first identify it.

In any relationship you can count on three things the good, the bad, and that the relationship will change. The United States and México have a good relationship in a sense, they are allies, have the NAFTA agreement (North American Free Trade Agreement), and there is a general consensus that they will support each other but no can tell the future and that might change. As a matter of fact the BBC reported that with the new bill that George Bush signed allowing a 700-mile fence (that would border two states) to be built, was taken negatively by the president and the high ranking officials of México because they say it will cause more Mexicans death on the border. Now México has been looking for support from other Latin-American countries to petition against the bill. So is this the beginning of a war that will forever separate the U.S. and México …probably not but this is just one example of how the US is hurting its relationship with México or if you must how the US is harming México. Then again México isn’t perfect and does harm the US in some ways like by not supplying enough jobs for its citizens so that they will do anything to get a job or make some for from of cash even if that means stealing from American tourist, mugging and terrorizing the locals, or even crossing the border illegally. That effects the US because although illegal immigrants are great for work and do the work that most Americans won’t do but they need things, like if they are hurt they need medical assistance and no ER can turn away some one that is hurt or needs help or what about there children they need to go to school and both of these things end up costing the American government money, a lot of money. So I can’t decide which country harms each other more. The way I see it is that it is give and take in the worst way. My opinion of “the illegal immigrants and the border” issue has changed so much over the years at first I was against them staying and then I was for it. Its just such controversial issue and you can see both sides of it. It is so hard just to pick a side and stick to it because every time I do I hear something and it changes my mind and makes me doubt my decision.
