A damn shame. Some of the most beautiful resorts in the world, some beautiful scenery, history, etc. The country has everything going for it to become a major player in the world. Except for the corruption. I wouldn’t step one foot across the border into that cartel owned country. People go missing there never to be found, or found in pieces.
I’ve held similar views for years.
Look at North America above the Rio Grande as a whole. Natural resources and opportunities abound to create wealth and prosperity. And it works quite well in the US and Canada.
Now look south of the Rio Grande. There are nearly the same natural resources and opportunities, yet there is much corruption everywhere, in particular Mexico. There was corruption in Mexico long before the cartels came into existence.
What is the common denominator creating this? Race or the predominant religion of Catholicism?
