Forty years late?

WOW DID he not get his cut?

"The recent price increases in the flat corn bread, driven by soaring U.S. demand for ethanol fuel made from corn,..."

Is that for real or is this just another 'blame the US for everything' drum beat? What %'age of corn grown in the US is country actually goes toward ethanol versus a couple years ago? Do we really import it from Mexico? Come-on, some Freeper is probably personally responsible. Either that, or its Bush.

"Organized crime is running out of control in Mexico"

Correction. Organized crime is IN control of Mexico.

[WhiteGuy]

Organized crime is running out of control in Mexico, Mexican President Felipe Calderon told the Spanish newspaper El Pais in an interview published on Sunday.


Oh...............

I thought it was "our" president...........

I guess he hasn't figured it out yet.

[BW2221]

That's okay. Mexico is in the process of exporting it's drug problem to the U.S. with the help of U.S. Attorney Johnny Sutton and AG Alberto Gonzales.

"It's a very simple equation -- you can't get a significant reduction in drug supply if there's not a significant reduction in demand."

Do you suppose he'll stop printing up "how to" books about getting all the USA goodies?

Keep your people home, Mr. Presidente' and the demand will go down!

"Organized crime is getting out of control and is causing serious worries in some regions of the country, like Michoacan," Calderon said. "Murder rates were exceeding those of Colombia at one point."

Not to worry, Bush will be importing them to the United States as soon as he and the Democrat Congress can make it happen.

I think the only hold up at the moment is whether they should build 3 or 6 light rail lines to move the illegals though the desert.

"The United States, unfortunately, is the biggest consumer of drugs in the world. That fosters this extreme drug-trafficking phenomenon in Mexico," he said.

I find no fault with that accusation, drug usage here does promote the growth of drug trafficking.

I wonder just how much the magnitude of the problem is responsible for virtual open borders and allegations by some border agents that they've received stand-down orders.

There's got to be more to this than just "cheap" labor and an effort to take pressure off Mexicorruption by taking huge numbers of its volatile population. Giga-dollars, perhaps?

[DustyMoment]

Well THIS is a stop the presses moment! Where has he been for the last 40 or 50 years while the drug problem has migrated from Venezuela and Columbia north, through Mexico and finally capturing Mexico itself.

[johnthebaptistmoore]

One of many reasons why illegal Mexican immigrants overflow into the U.S. every day of every year for several decades now! And yet, the U.S. still hasn't built a decent wall along its border with Mexico, and also, the U.S. still continues to not fully enforce all of its laws throughout the U.S. and U.S. territories when dealing with all of the illegal immigration problems!

[SmoothTalker]

Which is why i'm so happy we have an open border with them.
