Mexico has everything to make it a prosperous First World country. They have minerals, they have agriculture, oil, tourism - everything they need to rank high among First World countries. All that stands in their way is corruption.

Until the U.S. and President Bush stand up and point a finger - as my dad did at the evil empire - and say, "You have to eliminate corruption if you want to keep your people home," the corruption will continue and so will the flow of illegal aliens fleeing it.

Until the U.S. and President Bush stand up and point a finger - as my dad did at the evil empire - and say, "You have to eliminate corruption if you want to keep your people home," the corruption will continue and so will the flow of illegal aliens fleeing it.

The problem there is that the good people in Mexico tend to get shot when they try to change the culture. So the only variant of this message that would work would be a private one:

"You have to eliminate corruption if you want to keep Delta Force and the 101st Airborne home. Otherwise, we'll be digging your politicians and cartel leaders out of spider holes in about three weeks."

But nothing like this will ever happen, because far too many in DC are profiting from the status quo.
