Lesson #4 in Principles of Success is UNDERSTANDING PEOPLE. So we here in Mexico DO need to understand, and I think your issues are valid. Let me give a Mexican Perspective. Here in Mexico much of our politics have shifted to include more North American values. Many times I have talked with civic leaders in Mexico who had positive experiences in NYC the USA and wanted to be town mayor and have a more pluralistic approach to solving ideas in Mexico. Some Mexican workers who went to Ft. Worth came back to town to show the rest of the population the benefits of Drywall, sheetrock. Last week I went to the local Walmart in MEXICO and purchased a washing machine WHIRLPOOL was what my local MExican applicance repairman said I needed, MADE IN THE USA. Here in MExico we too complain that shoes are being made in CHINA, while 80% of the footwear people have on is Asiatic. More people here in these parts want to learn English, and to stop this FLOW of immigrants to the USA, we do need to get economies of the rest of the world set up based on ethics, integrity, character issues and end corruption.
Your post is interesting to me as it addresses something I've wondered about. Mexico has all of the natural resources that the US has and should be it's own version of California and other desirable US states. It seems to me that there should be a reverse flow of Mexicans who would take their personal knowledge of the way capitalism raises all boats back to their homeland for the benefit of themselves and their countrymen. Your socialist government is of course the cause of the flight to the US and I think it is only a matter of time before enough Mexicans returning to Mexico gather the necessary strength of numbers to change the political landscape in your country. Giving people of any nationality a good taste of freedom and the experience of living in a society that rewards personal endeavor will forever impact their thinking. I also wonder what impact the truly huge outflow of your younger citizens is having on your country and it's future. I visited your country years ago and it is beautiful. We heeded warnings from others who had personal experience about the institutionalized corruption of the police and govt employees and stirred clear of same. We have fond memories of the Mexico then and her people.
