Mexico has as many or more natural resources, more arable land, and better overall climate than do we. It’s not all burnt over desert. What they also have is extreme political corruption, drug kingpins, sexual slavery, and an utter disregard for human life and unalienable rights.

You mean Mexico should be richer than us? I think so.

Build the wall.

Venezuela North. The socialist dogma has been spread to Mexico, and with no better outcome than it had for any other place it has been tried.

Maybe the Mexican people would flee, but again, not much if anything has changed for the campesino in his adobe hacienda. But now maybe the drug cartels will have a formal seat in the government councils, rather than just having to rely on violence and threats of violence to gain the obedience of the various levels of government power.

Throw in open borders, and you have the Democrat agenda and talking points for the 2018 mid-term election.

Mexico should have the greatest wealth per capita on earth. Tyranny is not only a brute, but a thief.

Yes. As you go north from Mexico City, Mexico becomes a desert, which is one reason why Mexico didn’t populate what is now our southwest, when Mexico owned it in the 1830s. Central Mexico’s climate is wonderful. They can grow crops year-round. But Mexico has been continually cursed with horrible politics.

I once watched a show on the Mexican Public TV—the worst 11 Mexicans in history. More than half were presidents!

As for the peso. When I was clearing out my mom’s apartment, I found lots of Mexican money. She loved Mexico and spent lots of time there. Thousands of pesos. But that was before the inflation of the 80s hit and I found my thousands of pesos could be converted for something like 15¢. So it’s starting to happen again.
