I'd agree wholeheartedly with your assesment. I have no problem whatsoever with Mexican folks in general. They are mostly God-fearing, hard-working people trying to better themselves and their families. Mexico, if freed from the Kleptocracy that rules it, could become a serious powerhouse. They have abundant natural resources, and a people who are quite capable of making their own country better than it is.

However, they have put up with the kleptocracy for far too long. Like much of the 3rd world, they view corruption as just a normal part of life. Until this worldview can be changed, there is really no hope that the country can live up to its ultimate potential. Also, when they immigrate to this country (both legally and illegally), they bring this worldview with them. Visit some of the border regions in Texas and California. You'll see it.

And for those who don't want to include the US/Mexican border on their immediate travel plans, just consult the "Jesus Land" map that marks red or blue based on counties not by states. You will readily see that "world view" in all of those blue border counties.

There was another map that was published "The Purple America". It is interesting to note that the cities that have called themselves "Safe Harbors" for illegal aliens, (ie. Austin, Dallas, et al) are more and more blueish purple than they were the last election cycle. Coincidence?
