Greased palms being the key word.

Thanks for the info on the Baja Beach & Tennis Club, I'll pass that on to my friend. Having just been there however, I didn't see any of the Americans quaking in fear of losing their Condos or property or membership in the golf course, "Querencia". Beautiful layout and immaculately maintained. Maybe its the "greased palms" effect.

I remember when I was still lurking, seeing threads about the stunning victory of Vicente Fox over the PRI candidate. I may be naive, but IMHO he deserves a chance at changing things down there from the old entrenched corruption.

Fox campaigned and won based on his effort to "regularize" illegals and erase the border. Ranchers in Arizona and the will of the American people have given him and his commie cabinet a clue that his scam is never going to happen in a million years. His popularity rating is approaching "el bajo" since 9/11. I wouldn't want to be living in Mexico when the implosion occurs..... it will be bad enough in California, Arizona, and Texas.

He does but shouldn't dictate the terms of the relationship with the US. I even believe helping Fox (but on our terms) because of the mess the Clinton administration made of things with Mexico. They have a whooping drug cartel problem and partly because the drug cartels got so enormous in the 90s and much had to do with how poorly the Clinton adminstration handled our INS.
