Capitalism is how you spread the wealth instead of into the hand of a select few like Carlos Slim. The cream does rise to the top but $450 billion net worth while the rest of the country is dirt poor? It seems to me this guy is part of the problem.

Exactly. It might also be one answer to the problems of drugs and inner city crime. Especially if infrastructure projects are happening far from their old inner city neighborhoods and workers camp onsite during the project. Get them off the couch and also out of their environment where everyone else is also living the welfare lifestyle.

Judges used to give first offenders for minor crimes the choice of enlisting in the military to get them out of their environment and grow up amongst responsible adults. I wonder if they still do that ?

That’s his real name? Sounds like the street name of a pimp.

Another non-Mexican Indian ruler!

...

He’s not Spanish either.

If he’s as smart as he’s capable of being, he’ll attempt to be friends with Trump.

Gruesome, gruesome movie.

Informative movie for Americans but not intended for casual pleasurable movie-watching entertainment. Very serious subject matter and...again...educational for adults such as I.

I must be getting old and senile... but I sure do remember President Trump saying he was going to build a wall several months ago now...

Most people forget things that happened when they get senile, but you have the opposite affliction, you remember things that didn't happen :-)

You know who we haven’t heard spitting a sputtering in their charming Latino accent? The little guy from Univision. He was all over the TV for a while challenging Trump to a duel, so to speak. What is he doing nowadays? Jorge Ramos was it?

The Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on United States Taxpayers (2013)

http://www.fairus.org/publications/the-fiscal-burden-of-illegal-immigration-on-united-states-taxpayers

Executive Summary

This report estimates the annual costs of illegal immigration at the federal, state and local level to be about $113 billion; nearly $29 billion at the federal level and $84 billion at the state and local level. The study also estimates tax collections from illegal alien workers, both those in the above-ground economy and those in the underground economy. Those receipts do not come close to the level of expenditures and, in any case, are misleading as an offset because over time unemployed and underemployed U.S. workers would replace illegal alien workers.

Keeping quiet lately, isn’t the little yapper.

Meanwhile I just found this, which is probably the reason for the press conference today:

Is Carlos Slim controlled by the Drug Cartels?

Many criminals are lined up to take down our new President. Believing prayer to God the Father is still in order today for protection of the President and Vice President.

after his fortune plunged from 451.7 billion to an estimated $45.2 billion.

Seriously? He lost over $400 billion?
