I don't understand why anyone would invest their life savings in an area without the rule of law. The fact that the Mexican army was afraid to confront the Zapatistas should have been a tip...

[CdMGuy]

Ah yes, Vicente Fox. The biggest disappointment out of Mexico in many a year. Mr. PAN Party himself. Just as bad as all his predecessors from the PRI Party. Too bad for Mexico. Too bad for the US.

[HuntsvilleTxVeteran]

Expect the same in TX, NM, AZ AND CA.

[lady lawyer]

I wonder how the Mexicans would react if a bunch of white Americans got together and started seizing property of Mexican nationals here in the U.S.

Somebody dig up Black Jack Pershing. It is time for another Punitive Expedition and all around bandit hunt.

Looks like a couple of naive do-goody-good liberals just got their wake up call.

[Stopislamnow]

Just what I was about to say.

Sounds like some envirowhackos found religion (money! own your own business, be a contributor) then found out what leftism is really about.

[1rudeboy]

Amen. These property-owners are probably agitating against garden-gnomes in their own neighborhood.

What's that saying about a conservative is a liberal who got mugged?

[RightWhale]

Annex Mehico except for Chiapas.

Viva Zapata!

Mexico started out as a presumably stalwart partner of this administration touting free trade, open borders, unlimited soliditary. Now all you hear is crap like this, stealing American property, illegally immigrating for medical care, obstructing our efforts in the UN. What the hell is the matter with these people or is this simply a nation of outlaws and thieves?

[Jack Black]

Perhaps all the hard working ones appear to have jobs in the USA as gardners and fast food servers, and janitors, and meat packers...

[johniegrad]

Yeah, maybe. All the Texans I know say that this is the case. But if so, look at what's left behind. How do you become allies with that sort of stuff.

If you are speaking of their government officials, mostly yes. If speaking of the people themselves, mostly, but hardly entirely, no.

[I got the rope]

Its already been done. Read your history about the Southwest United States.

[Mind-numbed Robot]

Recently they have begun to denounce foreign investment and tourism projects such as Rancho Esmeralda ? the sort of programs that federal and state officials have encouraged in hopes of overcoming Chiapas' poverty.

Part of the Communist strategy is to keep the people in poverty so they need a "savior" like the Communists. Once "saved" it is too late. These folks do sound like feel-good-do-good liberals who just learned a lesson about the ones they previously supported.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Bingo.
