Displaying the Mexican flag by high school students and other groups isn't what I would exactly call an act of anarchy. Don't you have to be a citizen first? I disagree wtih you on the extremes of your comments, however, I agree with you in your overall statement. I just don't think that it has come to that yet. Maybe some type of workable solution will be found......the one thing is true, people always try to get a better life, and are rather led by the pack....that pack was started with the group,la? harazza? , who wants to take back all the land they lost in the Mexican-American war, what we need now is General Hooker back..........he would tell them , he probably would offer them a drink and give them the low down, if they disagreed, he would then make haste, if you know what I mean......(no, I am not advocating shooting thet illegal immigrants) Maybe Hooker did have his day, then I don't think the Mexicans had ipods.....
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)(old pesos). 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. This was due to the looters stealing billions from the Mexican people.
Mexico has 4 groups of people who have weapons.
The Communist backed rebels.
The government (looters) military.
The government (looters) private armies.
The various drug lords.
Most of the military and private armies are for sale to the highest bidder.
The mid level managers to the poorest peon do not have access to weapons.
The only hope I see for America and Mexico is to deport all of the Invaders but arm them so they might have a chance against the looters.
