If Mexicans were any good at operating a country, they wouldn’t need or want to relocate.
Your note triggered a thought had never crossed my mind in 35 years as an amateur historian. There is one significant difference between the United States of America and every other nation in the New World; a non-Roman Catholic foundation. Even Canada has been influenced by the Church in Quebec.
It has been affected more so recently with the advent of Liberation Theology and the Catholic Left. Compare the politics and lifestyle in Europe under monarchs and bishops up to the Age of Enlightenment and today in the Roman Catholic New World; a suffering underclass which accepts its position in life, awaiting Heaven’s Reward and an upperclass of privilege.
Thank you
The same can be said about Californians.
