we could melt down Ted Kennedy's Blubber for fuel!
So long as our border is an open sieve there will be no communist revolution in Mexico. The comparatively rich, capitalist North is a better alternative for the Latino oppressed.
Mexico has always been communist to some considerable degree from back before the October, 1917 Revolution in Russia.
Mexico still has private farms but they have confiscated some estates in the past. Ever buy gasoline in Mexico? Bet you filled up with Pemex, the government's monopoly. Ever notice how El Salvador's FMLN terrorist leadership were lovingly embraced in Mexico. Over the decades the hammer and cicle was much in evidence during the ruling "Revolutionary Party's" large rallies.
IF they do, you see a hell of a lot of reshoring of those factories they couldn't wait to move there... once the government decides they are theirs.
what like Cuba did....no dice.
these communist countries needs and enema by us.
Mexico has been communist in all but open declaration for 70 years.
In the 70s I was stuck in La Paz coming back from marlin fishing at the cape and couldn't get a flight back because the PRI was having their national convention there and had comandeered all flights.
The 2 days I was stuck there their delegates were running all over town waving their red flags and Mao's little red book and shouting communist slogans.
Its not a matter of IF its a matter of WHEN....why do you think Bush is leaving the borders unprotected????
I think you're right. If Mexico moves politically, it will be by way of communism. The wealthy don't want to deal with the poor, and that's why we have a problem with illegals: they get a better chance here than at home.
The cartels have only to take the wealthy by force and help themselves to the wealth. Actually, the government has very often done that by way of taking wealthy landowners' holdings...sort of like or eminent domain.
Greed is so ugly.
If Mexico goes comunist then they will build their own wall and save us the time, trouble and expense. It's what communists societies are really good at (i.e. Russia, East Germany and China).
"What do you think the U.S. should do, if anything?"
Invade.
Regime change.
Exactly.
Come on people, everything below our southern border, with one or two notable exceptions is communist.
borders are unprotected to provide free labor,
Do you really still think the Russians are gonna nuke us? The nukes used in the movie were Russian, and the soviets led the proxy armies.
I really don't see the Cubans leading an assault with Latin American armies.
That being said, I still watch the movie when it comes on.
The same thing that happened in 1848.

Mexico has some beautiful and relatively cheap beachfront property. I've been tempted to invest in the past, but I remember my mom's words: "you'd be only an election away from losing it all."
Good luck, you're going to need it.

The Reagan Administration was well aware of the problems developing in Latin America, as I recall.
Does anyone else want to get Ollie to finish that mission?
Chuckling. I think that wall in China predates Mao by a few years.
Wha??? I don't recall any use of nukes in Red Dawn.
