Most folks (sheeples) buy the hype that Mexico is a poor country with few resources...
...Carlos Slim's name & amount of wealth, imo, should be bandied at every opportunity and the facts you stated need to be well known.
No doubt many Mexicans come here illegally to get away from crime, poor wages and bad living conditions...
..but Mexico could/should clean up their own country and they have the finances to do it....
..they just don't want to.
Americans are sick and tired of being pawns for this globaloney AND for US foreign policy gone amuck.
Any 2008 candidate that does not perceive issues through the prism of the red white and blue will be given their walking papers.
