And with the quickly worsening Mexican economy thanks to NAFTA and free trade ---can we be certain some of this extreme and violent left veering won't be right outside our borders?

I am not sure that Fox could pull off a Chavez(as in Venezulela), but the next election could be very telling for Mexico.

It looks like Fox's wife is going to try to pull a Hillary and become the next PAN president of Mexico. She's very politically ambitious ---maybe it's her calling the shots now. There's a new book out about her "La Jefa" (The Boss).

I also don't think Fox could pull off a Chavez but I think there could be some anarchy in Mexico. The violence is escalating fast ---right now it isn't too political but you've got a lot of people over there with nothing to lose anymore. The protests could become very bloody if something doesn't turn around soon. Right now we're providing a very nice safety valve by allowing them to flood over the borders ---but if immigration was ever to slow down, things will heat up quickly in Mexico.
