Until the leaders of Mexico are held accountable for their crimes against their own people, nothing is going to change.

Can Mexicans do that better from within or from our side of the border? Who has more power to shine a light on it -- Bush, or many Mexican immigrants?

The average Mexican is dirt poor in a vastly wealthy country.
It's been reported that about 3% of the entire population control all the assets. Mexico has a more corrupt caste system than India does, and historically, the Mexican people have never been able to change that. When I saw the news coverage of the Lebanese people marching out in the streets by the millions, I immediately thought of Mexico. If the U.S. is quietly helping the Iranian Kurds, and if the U.S. is trying to bring freedom to the Mid-East, why is our gov't turning a blind eye to the evils of the Fox regime?

I am neither a scholar nor an intellectual. However, I do shop for groceries on Sunday afternoons at Bi-Lo or Harris Teeter. The line of Mexican workers at the Western Union is almost always out the door. Every one of them seems to be holding the purple send chits, and I've yet to see anyone hold the yellow receive chit. Western Union money transfers outrank tourism in the Mexican economy.

Again, the Minutemen have proven that the border crossings can be controlled. Now, what about that Fox regime? To my mind, Vincente Fox is the absolute Devil Incarnate for the Mexican people, and yes, I really would love it if GWB would punch him in the nose for what he has done to his own people.
