Also --- consider what the Mexican government has done to it's farmers --- many of what are now our illegals. It destroyed them very deliberately when it decided that it didn't want the substinence farmers anymore. Less of Mexico is now being irrigated than in the past, the campesinos were never allowed to import tractors or farm machines (government decided they couldn't) --- then suddenly the rug is pulled from under them and they're turned bankrupt competing against more efficient American farmers --- and now --- Mexico which once could pretty much feed it's population is now importing corn and beans. Kind of embarassing really --- Mexicans first developed corn -- but now they have to import it.
Fox is not the absolute ruler of Mexico. He must deal with his own opposition government. I think Fox is inept, but the alternative to Fox is likely to be worse. In life and poker you play the hand your delt with.
