Great news! Now it only take a hundred million pesos to equal a dollar!

Mexican Peso Nears 5-Year High Against Dollar

Or, more precisely, the dollar reaches a five year low against the peso.

Banks were quoting 10.39 pesos to the dollar today for large transactions, down from 10.45 on Thursday and down from 10.91 pesos at the end of last year.

Yep. Boy howdy it's on fire. Who-hoo... 1/2 cent in a year.

“Embarassingly, the U.S. dollar is now falling in value against the peso...”

If we started exporting millions of our poverty and criminal class to Mexico, instead of the other way around, that would change real quick. And we’re sending them how many billions of dollars on top of that this year? And how many millions more to their invader organizations like LaRaza?

Mexico is our enemy.

Now the pesos can buy more US goodies for the illegals. That will give them more “bang for the peso”.

Mexico has never been a friend of our United States.

Based on old pesos!

The looters of Mexico want to have the freedom to loot America.

After spending several years starting oil exploration crews for Pemex, I think I have The reason Mexico has become so bad.

I like the Mexican people in the fly over parts of Mexico. The mid level and workers of Pemex are good.
It is the government and the high up in Pemex that are the vultures and looters.
The peso was about 8 cents (12.5 to a dollar).
When Pemex found the sito grande, a very large oil pool that covers parts of the states of Chiapas and Tabasco also a long ways into the Gulf of Mexico.

Pemex borrowed billions to produce this great oil find.
The looters (government) stole most of the money and what they did buy was junk oil rigs and drill pipe, etc.
1,000 pesos which was worth about $80 now will not buy a coke (old pesos).
This was due to the looters stealing billions from the Mexican people.

Instead of overthrowing the looters the Mexican people had an out, they had no weapons and they could cross into America and have a much safer life.
This hurts both Mexico and America as Mexico lost some of it’s hardest workers.
The gangbangers and welfare frauds also came over from Mexico as they could rape and pillage at will.

The government of Mexico is propped up by the billions sent back by the illegals and by our government having borders that are too open.

The only chance I see to help America and Mexico is to seal the border, deport the people who are not here legally.
We also need to arm the Mexican people so they can have a chance against the looters with their armies.
