But basically, it's a dump, and I don't care if I never see it again.

It is a third world city that runs on corruption...perhaps that is what they want for America

It is beautiful with huge extremes of worth..the VERY wealthy and the poverty of the "middle class"

I loved it and it's people.I would like to return someday on another mission.

But it is no model city to live in..

Here's Mr. Negroponte's warm and fuzzy view of our new world. Negroponte's March 14 speech to Congress

By the time global taxation is a reality, and accepted, transfer of power to the UN would have been completed so smoothly, none of us will have noticed.

I'll grant you that Fox is very good by their standards however, he is one man. Mexico is an oligarchy which is under stress to democratize. I believe keeping their citizens would force things much faster.

But isn't it evil companies that entice them to spend their hard earned money!?

And President Bush is one man. That makes two. Don't want no UN scum toruring mexico back into the last century.
Fox is forming alliances with the people the old government stepped on hard. Entrepeneurship is growing. But if the fascists and UNists start trying to impose THEIR will on Mexico, it won't be long before we will be the ONLY ones standing, and that is not a pretty picture.

Pinging some FR economic experts!

I have a question- Assuming this article is an accurate portrayal of Monterrey, is it possible to get all of Mexico to be this way or not? (If so, that would seem, to me, to be a way to stem the northward immigration flow)
