No problem, I have the answer to your question. There is no such thing as a "good" Mexican politician. Period. If they weren't totally corrupt they would never get elected dog catcher. That entire country is an infinite cesspool of corruption. Their police pay for their "routes", and then they extract "la mordita" from everyone unlucky enough to fall into their net. They don't get a salary, they are expected to extract their incomes form the people they supposedly "serve". That's just the traffic cops! It gets worse as you go up the chain of command.

The corruption there is bottomless and infinite. They really need to be invaded and to have an actual government imposed upon them, because they are totally incapable of creating one for themselves. Hey, we could do it for the Iraqis, why not for the unfortunate people of Mexico?

That's true. This guy is the current mayor of Mexico City --- so that should tell us something. He's against the privitization of Pemex and I think is quite Marxist.

That's true. The Mexicans deep down some know it too or they wouldn't be heading en masse to the USA. Compare Texas with Chihuahua or Arizona with Sonora. But we've got Mexicans like Bustamante who actually have plans to do the opposite --- put half the USA under Mexican control.

Mexico is going to take a sharp turn further to the left it looks ----- I guess the way they vote in California and other areas of the USA is just par for the course.
