About 15-18 years ago, the company I worked for started moving jobs from North Carolina to Reynosa. At the time my boss and I discussed the wisdom of doing this because of the potential for drug cartel violence. But, Corporate HQ in New York knew what was best....

Managers and Directors who base their decisions on stock price and short term gain must really like shooting themselves in the foot. Stockholders, especially the big funds, deserve equal or greater blame.

village in old Mexico...”

The U. S. invaded the wrong country. Iraq did not pose the threat to U.S. that Mexico does. Thank the Bushes and later Obama for this fiasco of a vendetta against Iraq and Saddam Hussein. They ignored the fact that he was Iran’s worst enemy and the best friend Iraqi Christians and Jews had.

Money wasted in Iraq could have gone a long way in helping Mexico and all their social issues. The dominance of crime cartels and their bleeding over into the U. S. dictates we should just build the wall and make Mexico pay....or else!

Those slinking over or under the wall should be shot, of course after firing a warning shot!

Mexico is a failed third world nation the same as any African hell hole.
