The top-to-bottom culture of corruption in Mexico is so blatant that the failed amnesty bill had an entire section devoted to it.
The passages stated that the goals of the bill would ultimately fail unless the corruption in the private and public sectors changed. IOW...centuries of corrupt governance would have to be voluntarily condemned and abandoned by those who currently profit from it (kind of like politely asking the Gambino family to please, please give up the illegal profits and go straight).
Furthermore the masses of mexicans sneaking in here bring this culture of corruption with them, it is, as stated in the bill, part of being mexican.
That is a real shame. I used to travel throughout Mexico (and South America), going places the tourists didn’t go. I agree it could have been a great country. Now I won’t anymore.
>>Furthermore the masses of mexicans sneaking in here bring this culture of corruption with them<<
There is no doubt about that.
They also seem to bring a lack of respect for property. A beautiful state park in AZ has to shut down every year because of ecoli in the water. A visitor there will find dirty diapers everywhere, including the creek. A friend in Phoenix writes that merely three miles from where he lives, is a Latino community. It has literally become a land refuse. When the dumpsters are full, the trash gets thrown in the streets. Everywhere.
A Google Earth search at the border, starting at San Diego going east will clearly show the lack of pride and respect for the land.
