In private meetings, Jerry Brown encounters a ‘more critical’ Mexico
Fresno Bee ^ | July 30, 2014 | BY DAVID SIDERS

Gov. Jerry Brown was about to leave Mexico’s capital after four days of talks pressing on the environment, and he wasn’t sure, broadly speaking, how his diplomacy might add up.

Meetings held out of public view – dinner with business magnate Carlos Slim and talks with the poet Homero Aridjis and Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas Solórzano, a founder of Mexico’s Party of the Democratic Revolution, among others – were “more critical” on any number of issues, Brown said, than was on display at his official functions.

“Some of the more private guys,” Brown said, were “not that optimistic” that people are interested in climate change.

“California can’t keep pushing a climate change agenda if more states and countries don’t do the same thing,” Brown said. “You can’t do a carbon price all by yourself forever.”

What’s that? Second thoughts Jerry?

Who cares if other countries are on board with the global climate change scam? The whole idea is to fleece the American middle class anyway.

Mexico and ALL the countries south of our border HAVE the wherewithal to take care of their own children. They always have.

However, the stinkin' rich there absolutely will not let go of one stinkin'

peso,
boliviano,
colón,
peso cubano and the peso cubano convertible,
Dominican peso,
Guatemalan quetzal,
Honduran lempira,
Panama uses U.S. dollars as official currency, referring to them as balboas,
Paraguayan guaraní,
Uruguayan peso,
Brazilian real,
Venezuelan bolívar
and
et cetera

for their own destitute.

ONE day there will be a reckoning for those greedy, unfeeling, hard-arsed souls.

Its not like that.
As a power vacumm occurs they see a historic opportunity to expand Mexican control into America itself.
They would be fools not to encourage massive migration of Mexicans into our country and control our elections.

, Anne Gust Brown, was sitting beside him in the hotel. She said “our best hope is that there’s some technological solution that doesn’t exist, some carbon capture or something that doesn’t exist, because actually inflicting pain on people in the short term is very hard.”

what's the carbon impact of 500,000 illegals, Annie dear? It doesn't sound like Mexico wants to address that either.

Elections require an electorate of folks who are AMERICAN citizens. So, those foreigners FIRST have to become American citizens and that takes five years.

THEN, they have to register to vote. That takes people who can read, write and actually want to vote. They have to PROVE their residence and age...which takes some American identification. I know; I know; those documents can be forged but that requires even MORE money. They are foreigners who don't give a rat's patootie about us. Why would they bother? THIS isn't their home...and probably never will be.

THEN, they actually HAVE to vote. Not even half of the Americans who CAN vote bother to even register to vote.
Of those who bother to register, less than half do vote.

This country is run the the "will" of 14% of the people.

Do you REALLY think that those foreigners who come here will be any different than the locals? I don't.
They come here for MONEY, nothing else. They also send BILLIONS "back home" to where their heart is, that is, to their families. We are nothing but burro$ to them...to bear their burden$ of taking care of their OWN children.

Yes, on the other hand this feels like he may be starting the process of walking back from the limb he (and California) have gone so far out on.

“The more private guys” indeed.

““The more private guys” indeed.”

They are smart, Jerry isn’t. They probably told him he was FOS for all his hair-brained ideas including “climate change.” Problem is though, Jerry isn’t smart enough to realize that they’re right!
