“
The Mexican drug cartels OWN the Presidente all the way down to the DMV clerks.
Or they just LEASE them ;-)”
You can bet they’re leasing a few of our politicians as well.
One of the guests at the state dinner for Mexico last week was Carlos Slim Hula, the richest man in the WORLD. No accident that he is vested in the NY Times, works with and contributed to Bill Clinton.
Someone is getting big bucks to sell us out to Mexico.
[snip]Key members of the US-Mexico community were expected among 200 guests at the glamorous black-tie gala evening at the White House, as well as actresses Whoopi Goldberg and Eva Longoria, and Mexican billionaire business mogul Carlos Slim.

Foreign business people have made even larger contributions to the Clinton Foundation, with $100 million each from Mexican billionaire Carlos Slim Helu,
(Does anyone remember that photo of Carlos with the Clintons at the White House???)

[snip]Mr Slims vast family empire controls more than 200 companies spanning industries including banking, telecoms, road-building and restaurants.
His influence is all-encompassing in his homeland of Mexico, and it is rapidly spreading across the border into the USA and beyond.
Last year he extended his tentacles into North America when he announced plans to inject £250 million into the struggling national newspaper, the New York Times, in which he already owned a 6.4 per cent stake.
Mr Slims interests across the border include a 1 per cent share of Citigroup, the troubled banking conglomerate, which he bought last year.
Most recently, he joined forces with Bill Clinton, the former US President, and Frank Giustra, the Canadian mining tycoon, to launch an anti-poverty campaign in Latin America.

Carlos Slim is only this rich because he has government sanctioned monopolies in Mexico. Telecommunications on down the line.
He would have to compete over here with everyone else, which is why he has so few investments here.
