yesterday. The farmers want the Institutional Revolutionary Party,
or PRI, to return land seized between 1992 and 1998. The PRI
governs Veracruz. Stripping to one's underwear has been a
common form of protest in Mexico in recent years.

Do these folks look like they have the discretionary income needed to grease political wheels?
Looks more like an AIDS protest.
or "gay pride" event
Real men don't wear panties.
Heck of a mustache ya got there, Bob.
They either don't pick much or they don't eat their profits.
Thanks - so tell me - where'd you get those turquoise briefs?
Hanes!! Made in Mexico! Guess what's in my napsack?
It looks more like a tryout for the Village People Reunion.
For all you Mexico lovers and gushers out there basking in the sun at San Miguel de Allende (and other similar places) sipping your cafecito and thinking how "colorful" those wonderful people are: the PRI has always been the ONE party of Mexico, I don't care what you hear or read. Why do you think they are flooding across our borders?
I don't have a problem with people living down there and paying fair wages but please, don't tell me how "happy" those folks are groveling at your feet for their next few pesos.
And as you drive back (well, you probably fly so you won't have to be reminded of this) through the Sonoran desert back North, those jacales they live in made of ocotillo and sticks are not built for "color" and hauling pots of water on shoulders are really not a photo op for tourists. That country is literally starving in the midst of plenty.
Since his election in 2000, President Fox's party, the National Action party (PAN) doesn't appear any more inclined to respect our border than the PRI.
And if the PRI and PAN can't feed and house their own people, why does La Raza encourage this 'pipe-dream' of `recovering Aztlan'?
What ever works. Looks like the only way they make the press.
Someone need to teach these guys what mooning is.
OH MY GOD, the thought of DU'ers in their underwear is gonna make me puke. Of course, stained underwear is their standard uniform when posting to the DU
"For all you Mexico lovers and gushers out there basking in the sun at San Miguel de Allende (and other similar places) sipping your cafecito and thinking how "colorful" those wonderful people are..."
Wow! You nailed that one. All our friends are either teachers, professors or musicians (go figure) and they fit that scenario perfectly. I love 'em dearly but they live in la-la land. Mexico was always 1 step away from revolution until they confiscated all the guns and gave them to the corrupt federales.
"Boxers, I don't have to show you no steenkin' boxers!"
LMBO!!!
You have really touched on my pet peeve, another thing is their trying to turn this beautiful system into another Mexico, who needs that? You are correct of course, in your assessment of PAN and PRI, I tend to get stuck with PRI for some reason.
