If you live in a country with as much outsize world power as the United States? You need to pay serious attention its foreign policy. The US has control over whether millions of people live or die, whether they will live in utter misery as a result of pushing free trade policies that bankrupt other people's economies and leave them vulnerable to corporate exploitation and pillaging while enriching some sliver of the elite and sending a bit of cash in aid; or not. You wanna scream about immigration illegal or otherwise? You need to look at the goddamn trade policies. Look at what NAFTA did to Mexico, for instance. You might also consider the US history in Latin America of overthrowing democratically elected leftist gov't and installing or backing dictators, unleashing year of terror and death and rapes and murders and land stealing and company exploitation on people whose right to democracy was trumped by US might.
