Mexicans seek open US border

Mexico and the US share a 3,000 kilometre border and millions of Mexicans work and live in America.

In our continued coverage of how the world sees the US presidential election, we look at what issues Mexicans think are important.

Al Jazeera's Adam Raney traveled to Tijuana on Mexico's northern border for this report.

WE, Mexican Citizens and U.S Citizens, do not need Open/Closed borders.

We need SMART, SECURED and REGULATED borders.

Why? Because WE are neighbors, partners, allies and frien...well, I am not sure if we are friends since Obama- the fast and furious- liberal marxist president had fueled violence in Mexico and deported more undocumented immigrants trafficked by american coyotes, than any other U.S president.

In a word..."NO." Injustice? The guy could bring his family

back to Mexico; so much for splitting up families. We can't

take in all the poor of Mexico.

The border lines are so damn long, all i want to do is go shopping at Tijuana, and come back home to the US afterwards.

It's a shame the red man didn't have this policy when the whites came to the West.

Really? Criminals always have the element of surprise. There are few crimes that are actually prevented or stopped in the interim because of an armed citizen.

[crashtest2302]

Crime would go down if the citizens were allowed Arizona type firearms laws. If the criminals know the civilian population is heavily armed, they are less likely to commit crimes
