How does the United States harm Mexico and how does Mexico harm the United States?

Both the United States and Mexico harm each other. I know that Mexico harms the United States when they smuggle drugs. Also when illegal immigrants cross the border it causes a problem. Another thing is that some people in the United States feel invaded by Mexico and do not take kindly to them. When Mexicans cross the border they come and find jobs because there are not as many in Mexico. They end up taking jobs other U.S. citizens could use/need. Mexico usually wants what the United States has and they can’t afford it and they turn to crime. For example drug trafficking, kidnapping, illegal immigration, etc. Another thing is that Mexico pollutes water by dumping their trash into it and it ends up washing up on U.S. shores.

But the United States harms Mexico too. When they cross the border they think that rules do not apply to them and that they can do whatever they want. It’s harder to think about how the United States harms Mexico since we usually think about how Mexico harms the U.S.
