Agreed. I would add too, it's sometimes hard to talk to some people about this whole situation.

I have friends of Mexican heritage. Most are just as upset as most people are but there's an underlying concern with stereotyping and blanket accusations that has some of them on the defensive. Can't say I blame them either. It's too easy to paint every Hispanic with a broad brush that's unfair and inaccurate.

Mexico has many real problems.  That does not mean her citizens are totally to blame but they do need help in educating themselves to what party to support.  There are numerous articles on the Heritage Foundation web site that seem to be accurate and informative.

 http://www.heritage.org/Research/Immigration/wm1022.cfm is one that talks about the Mexican economy.  Improving, but not nearly enough.  There are a couple by Robert Rector on this whole issue that I wish people would read before going off the deep end.
