The American Revolution succeeded be because of the character of Americans, not just that of the Founding Fathers. Why does Mexico suck? Because it is full of Mexicans. Why did the French Revolution sink to tyranny? Because of the French inclination for passion, lack of pragmatism, and hierarchy. The Russian Revolution failed because Russians are Russians and they like to stagger form high art, to comedy, to tragedy, and finally murder.

What will sink this country is the ensuing war of the takers VS the makers. That and political correctness.

So, why does Mexico suck ~ well, could be depends on where you are.
Mexico, too, is one of the top places to live on this planet ~ but from the perspective of the US or Canada it looks crumby ~ but from Africa the folks there can't even tell the difference between Mexico and the US ~ we are all rich and technologically advanced compared to them.
BTW, Mexico has a republican form of government and people have property rights ~ all modeled on the American design.
Not that I don't want that wall built but they have social customs with which I disagree and are best kept in their own country.
