Absolute worst part of culinary school was learning about 'fecal splashing' that occurs in 3rd world (and our) fields.

And someday we likely will have to invade to get rid of the drug cartels who are now blatantly operating on our side of the border.

Mexico is a failed Narco state and as you stated there is no reason for it except for the entrenched corruption that has existed forever. Mexico has tremendous natural resources, its a vacation destination and hosts foreign manufacturing from our country and Europe.

And the illegals working for Cambria (quartz countertops) get treated like crap as well.

I guess they are used to corruption and abuse so might as well break the law to get their kids benefits here.

TMI Johnny, TMI.

Also let’s talk about insect parts per million (PPM) in fresh fruits and vegetables. I tripped over that on the web one night whilst looking for something else.

Food Safety during culinary school was pretty devastating.

Mexico isn’t a ‘’failed state’’. In order to be that it would first have had to have been a state that functioned by the respect of and the rule of law. Mexico has never been that kind of society. What it is and more or less has always been is a systemically corrupt , racist, class-ridden kleptocrissy who’s politicians steal everything in sight and blame the United States. Mexico has, per capita, more billionaires living in it than any Western nation on the planet. It is also the richest country in Latin America. I have said here many times that if the Mexican people would put just half the energy into fixing their country that they do into destroying ours than perhaps someday Mexico will be a place Mexicans won’t have to run away from.

>>> the entrenched corruption that has existed forever <<<

The brown supremacists and their leftist cheer leaders in the press cant seem to figure that out. Yet they still feel victimized because we wont confirm to their culture of lawlessness.

Coming to the US soon as His Arrogance and his lackeys can get them processed. US giant corporations will be able to shed those college educated slackers that continually whine about their conditions in their parent’s basement, their student loans, and total lack of respect by the lesser souls that they must serve.
