If Richardson thinks the US and Mexico are friends, he has not been listening to the Mexican government.  Mexico is solving their problem of poverty by encouraging its citizens to migrate to the US illegally, send money back to Mexico, and remain loyal to Mexico.  Recently, the new Mexican president said the US has no right to deport Mexican nationals and was declaring war on the US to be fought politically by encouraging Mexicans to demonstrate in the US and register to vote. Mexico is rich in natural resources, but will never solve poverty in Mexico as long as they are allowed to exploit the US.

FENCES MAKE FOR GOOD NEIGHBORS.
