Anti-immigration supporters who think the USA should “boycott” Mexico have no idea what percentage of the American food supply comes from Mexico, and they must not wear blue jeans. Those are just two examples, of course. In some parts of the country, “Made in Mexico” is as ubiquitous as “Made in China” is nationwide. But there is no place in the USA that doesn’t have “Made in Mexico” produce and products on their shelves, and in some instances, “Made in the USA” actually means something more like “the final stages of product readiness are completed within the borders of the United States … but really, it was mostly made in Mexico (or China).” Don’t think that doesn’t apply to produce and foodstuffs either, because it does.

So sure, we could boycott Mexico completely and not buy anything from Mexico. More Mexicans would be unemployed, several large American manufacturers would go under — causing many Americans to become unemployed, and Americans would have to start growing enough food for their own country.

Also, the US might have to do something about it’s addiction to oil and petroleum, seeing as Mexico is currently our second largest source. But yeah, sure … brilliant idea! Let’s boycott the whole of Mexico! That will make our lives so much better!

Sorry for the outburst, but I was wandering along some strange path on the internet and ran into a wall of stupid. I’m not even going to link to the stupid. My blood pressure is already up, and there’s no need for anyone else to suffer the same.
