This is a very long article. If you have the stomache click the SOURCE for full text. Many of us have always been curious to know what the Mexican connections are and why they seem more important than U.S.sovereignty.

Long article, interesting connection between Bush family and Mexi-crime Families and “privatization” of Mexican economic entities...excerpt with Amnesty connotations:
If he is elected, Bush has promised there will be a “special relationship” with Mexico. In his family, the special relationship has long been there... George W. Bush has made his lust for the Latino vote clear...What is not clear is who Bush will be willing to consort with to earn that vote. And, if he wins the presidency, what is the true nature of the special relationship he will forge between our two nations, the US and Mexico, in the coming years?

Remember the Clinton bailout of Mexico? When Clinton was in private law practice, Mexico was one of his clients. When Bob Rubin as at Goldman, Mexico was a client. Small world.
