What they ought to do is realize prosperity doesn't HAVE to end at the California - Baja border. Go home and fix up home. That coastline could just keep going on southward if Mexico would just adapt and allow it's citizens to be middle class.

Fox and his fellow elites might be shaking in their boots now, just quivering over the thought that they can't send up all their many poor ---- most who are poor because of them in the first place. Maybe they'll consider some serious reforms --- but I doubt it.

Imagine the money that Mexico could make by allowing foreign born citizens to simply own property.

The entire Baja peninsula could developed with resorts, vacation homes, hotels, golf courses, and all of the peripheral businesses that go with that.

Jobs up the ying yang.

Mexico is just stupid.

Good point. There's no reason prosperity has to stop at the San Diego county border, especially when Mexico probably has less taxation because they don't need to maintain a huge defense like we do. Mexico needs to invest in its own infrastructure and enact true reform to clean up corruption and encourage business development.

would just adapt and allow it's citizens to be middle class.

I think that is what is slowly happening.
I remember hearing an NPR segment (I listen for opposition research) about 10 years
ago about how some Mexicans were returning home and fixing up Momma's house and
building the own new place.

The return of these Mexicans is not without some social upheaval...the segment had
a village priest complaining that the returnees "work too hard and they are
abandoning the church" (translation=they've got a work ethic and are becoming Protestant
or some other denomination).

It may not happen in our lifetime...but just like the seven decades it too to expose
and crack the "workers paradise" of the USSR, the oppression south of the border will
eventually crumble.

At least that's my prayer.
