"But I don't see hell freezing over any time soon."

If we toss back the ones who have snuck up here, in many cases risking their lives in order to work to make a better life for their families, THESE are the people who would have the best chance of making changes down there.

Now, if you are poor down there, but have ambition and are not afraid of work, your best bet is to try to come up here - take that away and they just might stay home and make things better in Mexico.

I completely agree, but I think nothing short of a shooting revolution will change Mexico. Mexico has no business being a "Third World" county. The natural resource wealth they have is the envy of the developing world. But the corruption prevents these resources from being utilized to improve Mexico's future. The Mexican people need to wake up and change this, but I just don' see it happening any time soon.
