James Michener predicted this and described it in his 1985 book, Texas.
This article was from the Houston Chronicle, not exactly a Valle paper.
Do you think that the majority of Houston ISD readers are getting any better education? 8<)
LOL. That would be funny if it were.
We do indeed have a bribery problem in the U.S. But I feel confident in saying that in Mexico it is systemic, and simply expected. Unlike in the U.S., in Mexico the citizenry has no reasonable expectation of public corruption being pursued and eliminated. Here Americans react with outrage at public corruption; in MExico I think it is considered par for the course.
"Jeez I hate Port Arthur! Nothing but Whores and Roughnecks."
"Wait a minute. My Momma from Port Arthur."
"Really, who's she drill for?"
And that is precisely why I have been so vehement about stopping Mexican illegal immigration into the United States on these threads for the last 5 years.

VICTIMS OF ILLEGAL ALIENS
MEMORIAL
In honor of Americans killed by illegal aliens.
Deaths that could have been prevented if Congress and the President would have secured our borders and enforced US immigration laws.
Each day a victim's name will be added to the memorial.
You'll probably have to add more than that every day.
Every one of those crimes was a real 'hate crime', unlike the fake ones dreamed up by the dregs of society in the race hustler biz.
The foreign aliens committing these crimes come into this country with contempt for our laws motivated by their hatred for us, blaming us for their own societies' failures.

Send an illegal alien home for Christmas!!
It's not my site, but was emailed to me. Yes, they'd need several sites to list all the crimes.
Amen.

This is exactly true. People who don't think this is a problem are fooling themselves. The US isn't perfect, and we have our problems, however, how many of us would prefer to live in....say....Mexico? And for those who answer in the affirmative my question is, what's stopping you?

In the words of Oscar Wilde, they "can resist anything but temptation."
the father of a friend of mine was one of the lawyers in the famous "Box 13" brouhaha in Duval County in the 48 election.
Lots have been said about how corrupt LBJ was, but he'd been beaten once before by an opponent who bought votes and had vowed he'd never lose that way again. His opponent in that race simply didn't buy the right guy, the Duke of Duval.
Texas politics still ain't beanbag.
LBJ was elected by 86 dead Mexicans. Nowadays, he would have been elected in a landslide of illegal voters, who have the dubious political advantage of at least being alive.
That's some sort of civic improvement. I guess. Feliz Navidad, vaquero!

And stealing is just a coup.
