Mexico is doing just fine. The corruption levels are dropping drastically as Calderón is using the whip. There have been issues and battles with police in some areas, but this has primarily been because the federal government was cracking down on corrupt police and gangs. Calderón maintains incredibly high approval ratings and the economy of Mexico is becoming freer. Mexico is one of the largest economies in the world and their economy is reasonably diversified for a Latin American country, contrary to popular opinion. As far as Latin American countries, only Chile is doing better in my opinion. It is useful to remember that the socialists got hammered hard in the last election and that today the adults are in charge.

Yeah sure it is....people are literally dying to get out of that country...it is such a paradise...(/sarc.)

You could say the same about Poland. Check the immigration stats for the UK.

Perhaps you missed my point about people making decisions on the margins. I suggest you take a microeconomics course to clear up the confusion.

People aren't leaving because life in Mexico is hell. They are leaving because of economic opportunity. If the per capita income of Canada was three times that of the US, you would have US citizens immigrating to Canada. The Polish are immigrating to the UK because they can make twice as much. You don't have to be Einstein to understand this.
