Nearly half of Mexico's population lives in poverty. Ten percent are indigent, existing on a dollar a day. Yet the nation has vast wealth. Mexico has more "Forbes" billionaires, 11, than all but eight other nations.

So many people are completely ignorant of that fact. Mexico is in fact a very very wealthy nation --- where all the ex-presidents receive 10 times what American ex-presidents do --- $5 million a year --- that's what Fox will receive also. How much does he pay the campesinos working at his ranch? Probably not even $30 a week.

Yes, they are and they are stunned when you tell them how wealthy Mexico is. We all assumed that the entire country must be terribly poor to send their citizens here.
