Exactly.
I am pretty much embarrassed about what tesla says, at least not because he is obviously not a revolutionar, but because what he says is not true. First, The US consume much more from other countreys as they give. Second, they have 90x more money as the whole world ever could spend. Both facts finally caused the financial crises. The Economy of the US is based on exploiting the rest of the world. They installed terroristic governnments in most of the south american countreys (and not only there) and made contracts with them on bringing the goods to the US.
In this sense you could say: yes, they need a man with a gun standing at the border, since someone has to have an eye on the booties.
Though - i know, what tesla says is what many think, and therefore its good to have this opinion here.
At least boycotting AZ seems to have a positive effect, if many people start to discuss the questions we do.

Something like this. I see tanks roling to canada right now ... no, i know what you want to say.
You want to know why mexicans come to the US? Start with this little story:
http://www.patentlyo.com/patent/2009...ly-cooked.html
http://www.globalexchange.org/countr...acyReport.html
then the more bigger problem:
http://www.economicpopulist.org/cont...-compete-china
and then the whole picture:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Balance..._trade_deficit
You must know what a "trade-deficit" is though, to understand the ideotism in the imagination of tesla about the "us supporting" someone. In fact, its the other way: Mexico is supporting the US, and so is the rest of the world. Not volentarily. Thats why Mexico is poor now. And some brave men want to get back what the US-Americans stole from them. Thats why we need a man with a gun in AZ.
edit: here are the data for the transfer of goods between US and Mexico:
http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/c2010.html
For those who dont know what they mean: they say, that mexico is supporting the US with about 60 billion a year - not volentarily, but because the us dont pay what they take.
edit2: maybe you want to know exactly about the economic relationship between US and any other countrey? Choose a countrey from this list:
http://www.census.gov/foreign-trade/balance/index.html
All data are from the US-Government itself
