@Eridanos:
As a MEXICAN who lives in MEXICO I must say…
This is revolting.
And I'm talking about the students.
Honestly, if some had been brought to USA as children, by now they should be able to become legal citizens. Why them or their parents never bothered to legalize their status is beyond me. Can someone actually explain how legalization status works?
Here in Mexico we are having a backlash against Trump in the media, newspapers publishing stories of immigrants whose 'American Dreams' were shattered. I only see sloth and self-entitlement.
Also, most of USA seemed to have voted for Trump so they are right to backlash against the students' behavior, after all, the funding comes from taxpayers.
Students need to realize that having access to higher education doesn't make them special, but makes them more indebted to their country and society. Instead of protesting they should be thinking in solutions agreeable to both ends.
That's a good question you asked, and you offered some excellent solutions. A lot of the protesters against President Donald Trump are not Mexican, or from any Central or South American country at all. They are rich white high school and university students who the majority of them did not even vote in the election, and are just protesting to get out of class or have an excuse to act wild.
I have friends who are Mexican but they are citizens of both the United States and Mexico, and have been here for decades they are educated with a university degree or career. Some were not pleased with Donald Trump winning the Presidential election but they're not protesting, or claiming that he's "not my President", etc. or pretending that the popular vote in our elections count since we have an electoral college set up so someone who actually is a tyrant or dictator, or who wants a political dynasty like the Clinton and Bush families want, and that the Kennedy family basically has does not come into power, and so states where there's a large population on the East and West coast, or in the South do not control who becomes elected President.
