Has Presidente Fox been taking lessons from John Kerry?

[NathanR]

Good. Then why don't you stay there.

[billybudd]

Yeah, imagine being born in the United States. Then you wouldn't get the privilege of sneaking across the border.

[KarlInOhio]

When it comes to illegal drugs, Mexicans see the United States as very willing to point the finger at Mexican drug cartels but unwilling to do more to reduce drug consumption among the American people.

Like build a wall to keep it out... no, the Mexicans don't want that answer.

[GovernmentShrinker]

Remind me again why millions of them are swarming over the border into the US, often risking their lives and paying fat fees to smugglers to do so?

[Jeff Chandler]

It's like what the Mexican said to the Texican, "Not only did you take half our country, you took the half with the paved roads!"

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Mexico has always been governed by looters.

Looters of Mexico

After spending several years starting oil exploration crews for Pemex and re-reading Atlas Shrugged, I think I have The reason Mexico has become so bad.

I like the Mexican people in the fly over parts of Mexico. The mid level and workers of Pemex are good. It is the government and the high up in Pemex that are the vultures and looters. The peso was about 8 cents (12.5 to a dollar) (old pesos).
When Pemex found the sito grande, a very large oil pool that covers parts of the states of Chiapas and Tabasco also a long ways into the Gulf of Mexico.

Pemex borrowed billions to produce this great oil find. The looters (government) stole most of the money and what they did buy was junk oil rigs and drill pipe, etc. 1,000 pesos which was worth about $80 now will not buy a coke. This was due to the looters stealing billions from the Mexican people.

Instead of overthrowing the looters the Mexican people had an out, they had no weapons and they could cross into America and have a much safer life. This hurts both Mexico and America as Mexico lost some of it's hardest workers. The gangbangers also came over from Mexico as they could rape and pillage at will.

The government of Mexico is propped up by the billions sent back by the illegals and by our government having borders that are too open.

The only chance I see to help America and Mexico is to seal the border, deport the people who are not here legally. We also need to arm the Mexican people so they can have a chance against the looters with their armies.

"It is an incredible schizophrenia we live with — we don't have a good perception of the United States, but we do cross the border," said Edna Jaime, a Mexico political analyst.

Then stay home and work to make it a better place instead of coming here.

This statement and Fox's just show that they come here to take, not contribute.

"...The paved roads, good schools and hospitals," was the way I heard it.

[BelegStrongbow]

"Mexicans still point with anger to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, under which Mexico signed away about half its territory, giving the United States most of what would become the American Southwest. "

Yeah, that's the kind of thing that happens when you attack your neighbor, who responds in force and ends up occupying your capital. Your bargaining room sort of dries up.

Bet the number of people who know what actually happened in the Mexican War is near zero.

Probably equal to the number of people taking a history class from Victor Davis Hanson.

[3AngelaD]

Nationalizing their oil business like they did in the 1930s hasn't turned out the way they promised. All the PRIistas got rich, everyone else gets to go swim the Rio Grande.

[RexBeach]

Vincente Fox is loco.

Mexico has been a political basketcase for centuries.

Mexico City must rank as one of the biggest s-holes in the world.

If the US is so noxious, then why is it that 10-to-20% of Mexico's population is in our country - and wants to REMAIN here?

Senor Fox, you have rocks in your head.

[Question Liberal Authority]

I WAS born in the United States. That's why I didn't have to walk to get here.

[Brilliant]

I have to agree with him. Mexicans should not want to be in the US. Mexico is a much better place. :)

[Wombat101]

Hmmmm, try this Mr. El Presidente:

Try swimming across the Rio Grande or walking across the desert under constant machine gun fire...oof!

If our so-called leaders had any guts, this is the possibility every Mexican would have to conted with when attemtpting to break our laws and invade our country.

See how long you last as president, or how long you party survives, when that Western Union cah pipeline dries up.

If we really had leaders in this country, these would not be "What if...?" questions; they'd be realities. People would be shot for crossing a border illegally. The federal government would stop the transfer of funds obtained by illegal means (since it's illegal to hire an illegal immigrant, any money they therefore make is also illegal).

We'd throw everyone of them that wasn't shot in jail, or force them,into hard labor making small rocks out of bigger ones in the blistering southwestern deserts, just to show that we mean business. Stay the hell honme, Jose, unless you're willing to comply with the law.

Oh, and the next time you run my country down, Senor Fox, I'm gonna ram my fist through your rotten teeth. If it were up to me, I'd saw Mexico off the map and set it adrift in the Pacific.

Jackass!

[Eric in the Ozarks]

He's showing sympathy to the millions of Americans who sneak into Mexico to find work and send Pesos back home.

[RexBeach]

You got it. American forces in Mexico under Scott and Taylor were outnumbered in nearly every battle. However, because of superior leadership and initiative, American forces won the day, so to speak.

Scott's landing at Vera Cruz and subsequent march to Mexico City, with a far smaller force than the one facing him, ranks as one of the great feat of arms in American history.

Mexican forces, by contrast, were poorly trained, and a featured a dreadful officer corps.

The more I read of this article, the angrier I got.

That's what I was thinking. If HE took care of HIS country, he wouldn't have the problems he has -- and neither would me.
