If you were the supreme ruler of the world, what would I do to change the relationship between the US Mexico border?

If I was the supreme ruler of the world, what would I do to change the relationship between US&Mexico's border region..? Thats a tough one. There's many ways I could change the border. For instance, I could create a party which would search for any undocumented immigrants throughout the United States, who would become directly deported !!! And while theyre being deported I would play my harmonica while they march away!! Another way I could change things is by lowering the pay of visas, but strengthening our border! I would make the border bigger &taller than the wall of china!! I would hire more border patrol agents to patrol the area, and if the immigrants want to come underground I would have a metal fence that reaches 15 ft. underground the wall so that people don't go diggin under it. Or another way I could help is by changing the mexican government, they should create new jobs for the unemployed, and supply them with housing, food, &education so that they don't have to worry about coming over to the United States. I shall free them from poverty, because I can. :D

How can HTH help the border region?

Do you honestly think kids could make a difference?
My question is why not?
Kids have so much potential, we will someday become grown-ups, we will discover so much ! And through that process wouldn't it be neat if you could help someone along the way? Yeah. HTHCV has students who are willing to make a difference for the better of the world. We want to help the border region over in Tijuana; firstly, our main plan (which is in progress) is making a toy drive for the poor children in Mexico. We could all try to help by teaching these kids things that will be useful throughout their lives, like the habits of the heart and mind. This is how I belive we can help the border region.

What are stereotypes &where do they come from?

Stereotypes are something or a person relating to those styles they are most commonly associated with. For example, the group that such person or thing belongs to, regardless of whether that perception is true. Stereotyping can be said to be a way of discrimination, when in reality it is a natural "structure" used by people to better understand the world. This is why when someone says "hockey player" you think of a white guy, or "rapper" and you think of a black guy, or "city" and you think of things like skyscrapers.
I belive stereotypes come from television, and other people who spread this stereotyping game over to everyone like an infectuous disease. It doesn't always necissarily mean it is a bad thing, but other people can become offended by any un-mindful comment.
