Mexico's economy is hot. The government is awash in oil profits. Exports are at record levels. The stock market index has almost doubled in the last two years. Unemployment is at 3.3 percent.

All of this benefits the corrupt ruling elites and the drug lords. None of this is trickling down to the people.

If Mexico had an honest government and implemented capitalistic reforms and guaranteed freedoms, they'd be kicking our butts economically.

Nope. And Uncle Sam up North is unintentionally (?) working to keep it that way.
