Are the elections fixed in Mexico?

I think less fixed than in many places in the USA. For example, in July, the Mexican government was very careful to make sure only citizens were voting --- only those presenting their IFE card could vote in Mexico's elections. States like California aren't careful with that at all. I believe that in Mexico, the elections are more honest than they are here as far as voting ---- I doubt there were many non-Mexican citizens or dead or nursing home patiens voting.

Fitz I had to see them load up at least 1/2 dozen buses here in Chicago and then find out the Unions are the ones paying for it!

The only thing --- I actually don't think this protest is that bad in some ways. For one --- I wonder how many illegals are even on those buses ---- I kind of suspect --- but I do not know that there are really two types behind this ---- the radical Marxists --- the legal Chicano brown power types who hate this country but are still citizens of it and the unions who in some ways I wouldn't blame --- they get the illegals to demand the same pay ---- or make an illusion that the illegals want the same pay and benefits as Americans ----- if the illegals are actually given that --- then more Americans will keep their jobs because the incentive to hire illegals disappears. Who is going to hire someone from Mexico if for the same money they can get an American who can speak and read English and has a better work ethic?

Bicchieri says the busses were released following the intervention of El Paso Bishop Armando X. Ochoa and two members of Congress, who called on the Border Patrol, which is now a part of the Department of Homeland Security, to allow the passengers to proceed

NAMES!

Does anyone but me notice that the so-called big Republican party people on this site avoid threads like this like the plague?

Oh, you noticed that too? Yep, the gutless wonders never show up to defend this ****.

But shhhhhh.....you're not supposed to talk about it, Joe.

It's almost impossible to organize our own bus caravans to counteract the foreign hordes descending on us like locusts.

Most folks are working hard all week to make a living while at the same time being forced to support the socialist goals and welfare needs of the invaders.

It must be great for these downtrodden to have all the time in the world to sit confortably back in air-conditioned busses singing revolutionary songs while touring the vast fruited plains on union-financed junkets.

At the same time, we suckers are slaving away all week just to put food on our own tables.

I would imagine a lot of businesses would want to sponsor us, although some of the boards of directors are so terrified of the PC police that they may not want to give any overt support.

You are right. Moreover, the illegals are now the protected class de jour, and are enjoying the support of the usual liberal suspects, Americans and America be damned. I am SOOOOOO pissed off about this illegal mess. I will do my part to fight it.

What good does it to patrol?! Today the border patrol did their job in Texas just to be undermined by two Congressman and all of our government, bunch of sellouts!

This about says it all.

They are freakin' illegal!!! Build a wall around the southern border. Work camps for people who come back a second time - perfect new WPA and CCC, and bill the Mexican government for their upkeep.

"Wow, they each contribute $73.00 to the economy for a whole years worth of illegal work. "

Thank you, I was hoping I hadn't lost my mind when I did the division myself. Even if they lost a couple zeros it's still pretty pathetic.
