Mexico’s problem is much more than that: they’ve been painting the U.S.A. as the cause of their troubles so as to deflect their own peoples angst somewhere else.
Reconquista is a good example. In the entry of Mexico’s National Museum is a mural or a map representing “Greater Mexico”. It includes Texas, Okalahoma, Colorado, Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada, California, and Oregon. School children are sat before that map and admonished that the United State stole that land from Mexico. The truth is very different.
There exist ‘hate museums’ in Mexico. These very biased institutions sole purpose is to propagandize against the U.S.A., and no doubt financed by Cuba and Central American Marxists.
Mexico is trying to concentrate its peoples attention on an outside bogeyman rather than address the true causes of poverty and corruption inside their nation.
This will blow up in their faces. It has not escaped the attention of U.S. citizens that on 9-11 there were people in the streets of Mexico City celebrating that attack in New York City.
A large percentage of the Mexican men between the ages of 16 and 50 are now living in the U.S. Whole villages are devoid of men and are populated by women and children. Certainly the ruling Mexican elite likes it that way.
What is so rarely addressed is how illegal immigration to the U.S. **hurts** Mexicans!
1) The women and children are defenseless prey. Women and their children are often permanently abandoned when their husbands take new wives and start families in the U.S.
2) The men who normally lobby politically or take action against the criminal elements in the villages and neighborhoods are another nation away.
3) The most creative and wealth producing members of society are not producing this wealth for the benefit of their communities to enjoy. This encourages poverty and ignorance in Mexican communities and makes them easier to control by criminals.
( And...These are only a few of the consequences for Mexicans living in Mexico of illegal immigration.)

Yes, after the first World Trade Center attack a Mexican colleague I was working with at the time commented that it was great that America was getting a taste of its own medicine. He was born in Tijuana, the son of a professional there. At the time he made that comment he was receiving a significant amount of research grant funding from the US government, specifically earmarked for minority applicants. Instead of being grateful for the opportunity, he was trashing the US.
