> Mexico is improving, know how? Uncle Sam. China is improving. Know how? Uncle Sam. China is for another day.
Nessus: You’re absolutely right. We are feeding their economies. But we’re feeding our own as well. How is it that international trade impoverishes us? Have you seen our US GDP figures over the last decade or so?
> Mexico is a joke. A centuries long corrupt, inefficient government. Mexico with 10% “beautiful” white descendents of the Spanish and 90% Mexican-Indians, who have been denied much access to society. Thus the ruling class of white Mexican elites, encourage their Indian peasants to “migrate” to the USA, make money illegally to send back to the corrupt mother country.
That’s as dumb as people claiming the US hasn’t changed since the Civil Rights struggles decades ago. Mexico has undergone radical political change in the last 10 years. And people are demanding their government be accountable now. Especially now with Calderon. No nation that is as corrupt as you say grows at the rate Mexico is. 12th largest economy for GDP, and our 3rd or 4th largest trading partner. Radical departure from the past. No change there …. nope, none at all, eh? They have a lot of problems, but things are improving. There economy passed the trillion GDP mark in 2004. They are not a hopeless case at all. But I suspect you’d like them to be and stay as you have them in your mind. How else to explain the lack of factual knowledge of Mexico, despite the fact that you know how to use Google?
