Why should the national action party keep the reigns of pwer?
What the hell have they done while in power. Have they even tried to stop the corruption?
Have they made efforts to produce jobs for the wetbacks?
Fox's tenure has certainly been a disappointment, but I find it hard to focus all the blame on him. So many forces in Mexico are allied against reform -- corrupt politicians, selfish oligarchs, Marxist "intellectuals," drug dealing cartels. Seems all of them would prefer chaos to progress.
Mexico needs to embrace capitalism and foreign investment. When you see the strides made by a country like India, which has all Mexico's problems and more, it becomes harder and harder to justify the excuses of the entrenched powers that be. While not the strong man many hoped for, Fox was at least a businessman. The alternative will only be worse.
The US needs to demand reciprocity. One way or another, we are going to continue to absorb poor people who can't make it in Mexico. So how can that country refuse to welcome investors who can create jobs within its own borders?
