Imagine if we took 100m of the hundreds of billions of dollars sent to Iraq and helped to build a school infrastructure in Mexico.

I imagine that the rich in Mexico would only get richer.
I agree about helping them, but throwing money at the problem isn't the answer. I mean, aren't we trying to help already by opening various manufacturing plants there that employ Mexicans? Isn't there plenty of high-dollar tourist spots that employ Mexicans? Yes, you could argue that these very examples are "throwing money at the problem", but it's not a hand-out, it is capitalism. And I'm sure that Ford and other major companies are contributing something at the local level at their Mexico plants. At any rate, I feel this is a better approach than simply giving them money.
