Demonstrators stormed a Wal-Mart on the outskirts of Mexico City ...

If they were really smart, they would storm Chanel, Armani, Coach, etc. not Wal-Mart.

Protesters Storm Wal-Mart in Mexico City

Looks like Christmas shopping started early this year in Mexico, Wal-Mart rampages usually happen the day after Thanksgiving here in the States.

"We don't need no stinking 20 cent cantaloupes! We want to pay 75 cents!"

[Jrabbit]

So...senor Garcia....tell us how much a rural farmer is getting for his cantaloupe.

What about the consumers?

Just perhaps with their money going further they can have a higher standard of living.

Free enterprise unhampered by a corrupt government is the long term answer to Mexico's economic chaos

With more jobs in Mexico maybe the illegals will have less of an urge to flee north.

But I'm dreaming aren't I?

"With more jobs in Mexico maybe the illegals will have less of an urge to flee north. "

Actually that is counter productive to what benefits the government. It pays them better if they have their people take their personal situations here.

That way the government has no need to house, educate, feed, or give them health care. We will do it for free.

Additionally a large part of the criminal element will come here too. We will give them food, housing, and health care. Then they will either end up in our jails or killed.

Either way it is cheaper on the Mexican government. Soon to be made easier when they are all given amnesty. Heck then they will even get social security benefits they did not pay for.

Maybe they were looking for that new energy drink. Saw this on Hannity & Colmes tonight. It is being made so the poor illegals crossing the border will have enough energy.

Coming to us soon, thanks to union goons, communists, socialists, democrats, and all around buffoons.

Does this mean war between Mexico and China? Fire up the popcorn!

I was actually shocked at the number of Wal-Marts that I saw in Mexico. Usually they were on the same complex as a Sam's Club, Costco, Target and K-Mart. I was really amazed.....

[LadyNavyVet]

Yep, the forces of "tolerance" somehow can't find it in themselves to tolerate where others shop.

"If a cantaloupe costs 20 cents at a Wal-Mart, imagine how much the rural farmers are getting for this cantaloupe," Garcia said

Miyato please! If you're payin 20 cents for a cantalope don't complain about it.
