3. The fundamental exploitation by the Mexican government starts long before

they reach school age, it lies in not reducing Mexico's high birth rate.

Other third world countries with the identical GNP and education levels have dramatically reduced their birth rates while Mexico does not.

If you accept that they are the main cause of the problem then you are faced with the moral imperative of not eating the 'illegal' food that they produce at low prices.

You have the control not to partake in the benefits of the "illegal alien" part of the economy.

As a first step it will mean that you will have to stop buying all of the fresh produce at your supermarket.

Now if you use the term 'illegal alien' and continue to buy the fruit of their hard labor you sustain the same level of cynical exploitation that the Palin's of the world do when they hoist on their children abstinence only contraception while at the same time having sex before marriage.

If the are 'illegal aliens' then the fruit of their labor is also 'illegal' and you would be morally bound not to eat it.
