It is true. The gov't has no real interest in solving the problem. That is why it exists.

It's not good for us to devote a segment of our hard earned resources to elevate someone who will not elevate themselves. It's not like Mexico hasn't had a couple hundred years to do it.

Apparently you didn't see the word "help" in my sentence. I'm not for handouts. But I am for helping them elevate themselves if they need the help because it will be good for us in the long run.

Help them how? What would we get in return? If we 'help' them and get nothing in return, that is a handout.
The US doesn't know how to HELP people anyway, they just move in and support/repress them. What would happen is we would end up subsidizing their economy indefinitely. That's not beneficial to us in the long run or the short run.
