Mexicans should improve Mexico so Mexicans don't immigrate

We should encourage people to make their country better instead of running away. I am against dual citizenships. You are either loyal to the United States or not. Why, if Mexico is so great to visit and good enough for US companies, do so many leave to come to America? Source: 2004 Presidential National Political Awareness Test Nov 7, 2004
