Actually, they make up one of the biggest groups of folks shopping at Wal Mart, to say nothing of Toyota dealerships (they buy their Tundras here).

That doesn’t make sense. We are talking about exports and imports. The vaule of purchased of people who cross the border to buy things are not included in those figures.

I think we are talking past one another. I don’t understand the connection between Wal-Mart sales in the US to Mexicans in the US and US and Mexican import and export statistics.

Yes, I'm being facetious and you're being serious. Not a good combo for intellectual exchange!......;^)

They had big silver peso coins

I've got one.

What the hell happened ?

Socialism. That, and the land of opportunity to the north.

corruption, an out of control birthrate, a legacy of spanish style cruelty and oppression, lack of a stake in having a civil society, too much revolucion, too much manana.

Best times were probably the dictatorship years of Porfirio Diaz.

I’m told that these coins are collectors items in Mexico. They were everywhere when I took a summer session at the Tech in Monterrey many years ago.

I’ve just lost about a half million with this stock market crash.
I really don’t give a crap about anything Mexico except that they quit sending us their uneducated unwashed masses.

“Mexico is our second most important trading partner.”

In pre-NAFTA 1992, we had an annual balance of trade SURPLUS of $5.4 billon with Mexico.

In 2007 we had a trade DEFICIT of $74.6 billion.

“I think” and “Patty Radle” are mutually exclusive, in my experience. She does everything from the feeling of white guilt that she and ex Rob developed from their privileged upbringing in the late 60s. They’ve done great things, like Inner City Pantry, but they’ve both gone over the edge.
