We’re being used by these people...and the fact that so many in DC want to accommodate them...IMHO, means OUR leadership would intend the same for us in flyover country ...we’re suppose to shut up and become Mexican peasants.
Great article — Mexico is truly in need of a Revolucion.
The last Revolucion they had was an absolute bloodbath. My relatives in Mexico tell me that the history books really play down the carnage.
Mexico is not a poor country, it has much wealth. But it is only in the hands of a few.
Not by mucho.
He identifies not only the 'heart' of Mexico's issues. . .but the classic MO of Liberal Marxist government and the parallel of how Liberals live their message to the world. Their lifestyles; their success; riding literally on the backs of a dis-empowered population; who facilitate their success.
A shallow; but typical and recent example are the endlessly insufferable Libs as per Algore and Lib elitists et al; warning us that we must change our ways; while they just keep ratcheting up their own personal ante for more self-indulgent lifestyles. A typical Lib MO of demagoging issues for their own self-servance and empowerment.
Of course the parallels go much deeper as per their hatred for authentic Capitalism and the small business model that it gives root to; and it's ultimate empowerment of a citizenry; versus the real machiavellian Government MO of controlling a population by being it's employer. A Government model, which by design; promotes and protects it's own corruption.
So, whatever Mr. Grayson's Party affiliation; I hope he recognizes it's root; as well as he does it's manifestation; and that he realizes just who it is that carries the seeds of this ideological manifestation in our Country.
Mexico is the classic situation ripe for a popular Marxist rebellion -- and yet the Left wing academics on our college campuses turn a blind eye to the situation down there and concentrate instead on calling for immigration accommodation by US. What hypocrisy --
Interesting personal info. Also I hear it is (still? can this be??) illegal to wear priestly garb in public there.
They allowed religious clerics (priests, nuns, pastors, reverends, etc.) to wear their garb within the last 10 years or so.
That’s the problem, a revolution is needed, but what are you going to get in exchange? Hence the U.S. governments’ chicken$%it method of dealing with the issue; it doesn’t want a hostile, violent, dictatorship on it’s 1,500 mile border because of the problem of securing it....oh wait, forget about it, it’s already that way. Move on.
Jorge Bush fully supports the scheme. Of course Jorge is our CFL of politics. He uses less power while claiming to produce as much light as a regular light bulb but in truth he produces a low level of light without much illumination.

We need to finish that wee bit of work what Grant and Lee worked on together.
For men of their generation, the Mexican War [1846-1848] became the first place to test their mettle as soldiers. “To Grant, the Mexican War taught the importance of leadership, morale, and a well-fed and well-clothed army. For Lee, by contrast, the Mexican War offered an immersion in strategy and field operations under varied conditions,” says New-York Historical Society curator Kathleen Hulser.We may indeed have to invade Mexico again, for the same reason we invaded Panama. To stop the vile narcotics trade and the para-military drug gangs who have allied with units of the Mexican Army.Grant's schooling in leadership came from his mentor General Zachary Taylor. “General Taylor was not an officer to trouble the administration much with his demands, but was inclined to do the best he could with the means given him . . . ,” noted Grant. “No soldier could face either danger or responsibility more calmly than he.”
During the war, Lee served on General Winfield Scott's staff. He spent much of his time scouting territory, and he saw combat at the Battle of Cerro Gordo, where his skills as an engineer helped secure American victory. Following the battle, where he was brevetted major, Lee wrote to his son. “I thought of you, my dear Custis, when the musket balls and grape were whistling over my head in a perfect shower . . . You have no idea what a horrible sight a battlefield is."
And also for a bigger reason -- to bring democracy and public education to Mexico.
“Meanwhile, it takes 58 days to open a business in Mexico in large measure because of the number of palms that must be greased. For this reason, Transparency International has ranked Mexico —along with Ghana, Panama, Peru, and Turkey—among the 65th to 70th most corrupt nations in the world. This same study placed Mexico 73rd out of 155 countries in terms of the “ease of doing business.” It ranked 84th for “starting a business,” came in at 49 for “dealing with licenses,” 125 with respect to “hiring and firing,” 74 for “registering property,” and 68 in terms of “getting credit.”
The self-serving behavior and corruption of Mexican politicians would make a Tammany Hall precinct captain blush”
Corruption begets even more corruption.
