Yeah, right. My first thought was "do they have that many black folk in Mexico?"

Continued modernization of the Mexican criminal justice system purportedly will help stem "the drug-fueled violence that has threatened citizens on both sides of the border," according to the Obama Administration. Obama through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) consequently has launched a new program called the Mexico Promoting Justice Project, also known as PROJUST, which will attempt system reform in several Mexican states.
PROJUST will infuse an unspecified level of additional taxpayer dollars to "support comprehensive criminal justice reform that adheres to Mexican and international human rights standards implemented at state and federal levels."
USAID/Mexico seeks to enhance broader U.S. and Mexican government efforts "to mitigate conflict, reduce impunity, and promote a more transparent and efficient justice system." PROJUST specifically will support the Merida Initiative, a partnership the two nations launched in 2008 to share responsibilities "to counter the drug-fueled violence that has threatened citizens on both sides of the border. "
The U.S. Congress appropriated $1.6 billion since the initiative started, according to the U.S. Department of State.
PROJUST is considered to be the "USAID flagship project" that will enable the Obama Administration [depending on the outcome of upcoming elections] to achieve the following results:
1) Legislative framework enacted for criminal justice reform; and
2) Strengthened institutional and human capacity to implement criminal justice reform.
USAID anticipates awarding a five-year cost reimbursement completion contract for PROJUST, which is expected to begin around July 2013.
Reforms the Mexican justice system needs:
1) Restoration of, and frequent application of, the death penalty by hanging.
That’s about all that is needed for the vast majority of Mexico’s criminal justice problems.
I must disagree with any proposals to “reform” Mexico. The people are either deeply influenced by their Cannibal ancestors if they are the “Bronze people” La Raza screams about. The rest are descendants of the Spanish who were slaves of Islam for 700 years and can be considered to have developed all too many cultural aspects which can accurately be described as Islam Lite.
The place is called “MESSICO” for a reason.
Cut a 50 mile wide Kill Zone south of the US/Mexico border and enforce it. No illegals coss it alive. Look on it as a Roach Motel for illegals. They walk in. They never walk out.
PS Messicans enforce a sloppy version of this on the southern Messico border.
Eric Holder will teach the Mexicans (whom he illegally attacked) about how to IMPROVE their system of justice.
Just THINK that one over — a real gem.
I think that’s a good start......
To taking over mexico, peacefully or otherwise. As long as 1/4-1/3 of their population is living in the US illegaly, we have a valid claim on their country. We should at least get something in return. If the US won’t do it, them someone else just might, and that would just be bad all around.
For all it’s worth, I belatedly realized I used one of the quotes from the USAID document twice in the article. Corrected in the original blog post at US Trade & Aid Monitor.
All your justice are belong to us.
That’s both inaccurate and racist. Only 10% of its 115 million people are Indian, with an incredibly diverse ethnic mix in the rest of the country. Most of the Indians are in central or South Mexico. 76.5% Roman Catholic. 78% live in the cities. An 86% literacy rate, about the same as the US, though Obama’s administration has just announced that the US has a 100% literacy rate.
In Mexico City, there are statues honoring Louis Pasteur and Mohandas Gandhi, museums with Rembrandt and Rubens, and their Metro is the second largest in North America after NYC. They have had a good national rail system about as long as the US.
There are over 370 universities in Mexico, and it is the wealthiest country in Latin America.
Stating the obvious is hardly racist, and as a glance at images of the inhabitants of Mexico will show, a statement of considerable predictive capability.
Culture counts, and Mexico is “Messico” because they have such a different culture from America. Just two basic issue - we are secure in person and property. They are not.
No statistical cherry picking can cover the vast (and increasing) gap between the pool of ever deepening cess that is Mexico and that which America is.
Even after having allowed collectivists to infiltrate our schools, agencies, and most all public offices, the American way is not aceptent of “La Mordita” (Messican for “bribe”.
I will accept the term discriminating, as I most assuredly apply value judgments, but I must reject your hopefully casual/inaccurate use of “racist”.
When Mexico stops acting like the “Indigenous Savages” from whence they are derived, and when they manage not squander what is the 12th largest national income on developing their “inner savage”, I assure you I will be more happy about such positive change than most.
I have seen once idyllic rural communities in America infested with illegals from Central America, many from Mexico. Places like Cresenct City now have MS13 grafitti and the last graduating class was 85% Mexican, as one of the realtors admitted. A drive through the area makes his position unassailable.

You do not find expressions like ‘derived from “Indigenous Savages” and “Cannibal ancestors”’ in any way racist?
Granted, before the Conquest, in Europe, some 18 million people had been butchered in the hundred years’ war, and a hundred years after the Conquest, some 8 million people were butchered in the 30 years’ war. But though the “indigenous savages” of Europe had no reservations about slaughtering women and children, at least they didn’t eat them, which means we are not at all like our “non-cannibal savage ancestors” in America today.
“You do not find expressions like ‘derived from “Indigenous Savages” and “Cannibal ancestors”’ in any way racist?”
No, and as a matter of fact while they are not sympathetic, perhaps the only criticism is that I left out “Stone Age” from what more accurately should have been “Indigenous Stone Age Savages”.
Probably, the reason we won and the Savages lost was the technology and the nation state versus tribal organization of the Europeans.
Please remember that Columbus described cannibalism and the fattening of humans for food as being practiced by the natives in the islands he first discovered in the New World.
Killing people is one thing. Making livestock of them is another. We disagree on the depth and width of the cultural chasm separating America from what lurks beyond the US/Mexico border.
If you do not understand the full horror of being marched long distances to be used as a slave and then eaten, nothing I can write will make any difference.
No, my problem lies in your assumption that the descendants of people who did those things 500 years ago are still savages. And yet we, whose ancestors killed far greater numbers of people, are completely removed from that, because we just tortured and murdered entire villages before burning them, but we didn’t eat any of the victims, instead leaving them to rot.
And despite the theories of Bernal Díaz, William H. Prescott, Marvin Harris and Michael Harner, there is no great consensus of major, systematic cannibalism, though there is considerable evidence of some cannibalism.
The conquistador Bernal Díaz has one of the few firsthand accounts, though deeply colored because just about every time he and his expeditions met Indians, they tried to take Indians as slaves and ended up fighting them. It was written by him 50 years after the events, to rebut another book written on the subject by someone who hadn’t been there.
Prescott’s assumption of cannibalism was mostly guesswork he made in the 19th Century, and though popular as a lurid theory is not very authoritative.
Marvin Harris was a Marxist-Malthusian, which pretty much kills his credibility right there. Describing the Aztecs in Marxist terms sort of falls flat.
Harner, now head of the Foundation for Shamanic Studies, is seen as the UC Berkeley equivalent of UCLA’s Carlos Castaneda; of the firm belief that a good narrative is far more important than inconclusive facts.
The bottom line here is that you need to reevaluate your prejudices. Mexicans are not heathen cannibals offering to gobble up Anglo babies after cutting out their hearts on stone pyramids. La Raza is pretty much a laughable organization that exists solely for the purpose of getting money from liberals in exchange for condemning America and getting Mexican Americans to vote for Democrats.
For the most part, Mexicans who become US citizens tend to integrate faster than most immigrants, work hard and have an entrepreneurial spirit, and the wealthier they become the more Republican they become.
Holy sh**!!! Why do they need our money to clean up their cesspool? Enforce our borders and keep their criminals on their side!

1. You used assumption in your line, “”No, my problem lies in your assumption that the descendants of people who did those things 500 years ago are still savages.”
Do Americans behead people, do Americans stuff people in barrels and burn them alive, do Americans hack people to death with machetes, do Americans kill police in wholesale quantities, do we routinely kill whole families, ad nauseam?
Mexicans do. They do it every day, as we debate this non issue. This acceptance of savagery by Mexicans is cultural. Culture is determinative, one must accept that.
Observation is not prejudice. Words do have meanings, and for a reason.
Regarding cannibalism, Dr. Kessler did say that the sharp stones on the back edge of the pyramids were not to prevent people from sitting down. They were used to hang pieces of the sacrificed victim’s butchered bodies on. The soil samples held far too much iron to explain as anything other than the result of lots of blood finding its way into the soil from the bodies.
Archeology of cannibals is not for either the squeamish or those wanting to deny/revise Meso-American history.
As for your hypothesis that I fear “heathen cannibals offering to gobble up Anglo babies after cutting out their hearts on stone pyramids” - WOOF, WOOF!. Your straw dog argument is a dog of a debate attempt.
;-)
La Raza is not a joke, as those who have to deal with their hate filled members can attest. The sheer racist hatred of the La Raza crowd has been well documented and photographed. That was a real ‘woofer” of an argument, and you can do better as some of your other posts attest.
“For the most part, Mexicans who become US citizens tend to integrate faster than most immigrants, work hard and have an entrepreneurial spirit, and the wealthier they become the more Republican they become.”
With the reservation that the above only describes Mexicans who come to America to become Americans, not Mexican-Americans, that is to accept and integrate into their beliefs and behavior the American way of life, I do agree with you.
Accepting the “American Way” is a good thing, vastly better than the “Messican Way”.
That culture thingie, again.
;-)
Okay, let me put this nicely. You are a racist. If you post crap like that to this forum again I will request that the moderators ban you.
“Okay, let me put this nicely. You are a racist.”
It seems you are unable to counter what I wrote and are reduced to mere name calling.
“If you post crap like that to this forum again I will request that the moderators ban you.”
Are you sure you aren’t channeling some Obamoid from Chicago?
I posted facts. Factually, Mexico has turned into a Hobbsian nightmare, where life is short, brutish, and nasty. All wish it were not so, but denial of what Mexico has become is intellectually dishonest and arguably, cowardly.
I did not mean to personally irritate nor upset you, but what is simply is. Not being able to dominate a debate is something all adults accept. May I suggest trying it, it really doesn’t hurt.
In closing, try to understand that if the daily butchery in Mexico was to disappear, I would be the first to applaud. However, I am not going to hold my breath in anticipation of cessation of such behavior. Your choice may differ.
Just stop.
“Just stop.”
I tried, as the “in closing” was meant to convey.
Have a good week.
