As if we’re not helping the Mexican economy enough right now.

I can’t decide if this should get a “Barf Alert”, or filed under “Totally Insane Ideas”.

The article fails to mention the billions of US dollars sent to Mexico from illegal and legal immigrants. That has surpassed tourism to the number 2 spot, after oil, as the largest source of hard currency for Mexico.

From the article by Andres Martinez:
"-- many Americans flocking to New York after 9/11 and to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina did so with a sense of public service. Mexico now needs a similar surge."Seems that Mexico is a state of the USA in this author's mind.

I don’t visit neighbors who invite themselves into my home, take my food, sleep in my bed, take my wallet, and complain that I don’t speak their language.

Actually, no thanks, Mexico has come here and is partially responsible for the bankruptcy of my state.

Another quote (this guy is a TERRIFIC salesman):
"Americans also share some of the responsibility for the mayhem unleashed by the showdown between the Mexican state and its rapacious drug cartels, as both Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton and President Obama were right to point out in recent months. Drug users in this country are underwriting the war in Mexico -- and that war is being waged largely with guns brought in from this country.".

The article said — There are several good reasons Americans should help out the Mexican economy with a trip south of the border.

No way! LOL...
Besides, it’s all messed up down there. Why would anyone want to go? Perhaps there might be a few special resort areas that one could go to, but I wouldn’t want to go, just on general principles.
Visit Canada instead... :-)
