David Schortner: Mexico is no friend to the U.S.

Re “County to focus on causes of social ills” (Page A1, Oct. 28): The biggest problem is Mexico. Our government – state, federal and local, along with the media – are deliberately not acknowledging this. Mexico is not a friend of the U.S. It deliberately takes advantage of our government and media, making those institutions look like the fools they are. The cop killer in Sacramento is a perfect example of the consequences.

David Schortner, Modesto
