    Default What do you want to become of Mexico?

    Mexico has lots to offer as a country. Most of the people you meet on the street and nice, friendly and hard working. Some are perhaps jaded by all the crime. They elected a socialist President because the other choices on the ballot were known unmitigated crooks. The new leftist President seems to be taking a couple of steps back with a "look before you leap" mentality. It may turn out that he won't try to transform the country into a Marxist state. I for one want to see Mexico become a safe and prosperous country. What say you?

    I really think that the populace on the whole has to forget
    the notion that the Western USA still belongs to them.

    They need to stand up and fight against the corruption which
    has driven the past administrations in that county.

    That hyperbole is often rooted in how a relative was treated in the USA. One guy in Nuevo Leon I spoke with a few months ago asked me why his grandfather was referred to as a "nigger" when he visited the US in the 1950s. He and his family never visited the US thereafter.

    Wrong. For one, things over 60 years ago has little meaning.

    Nowadays you ask Mexicans why they illegally migrate into the USA, and they will
    tell you that much of California, Arizona, New Mexico,and Texas still belong to them.


    They ignore treaties from 158 years ago, ignore international borders agreed upon
    by both counties.

    All they do is Want, Want, WANT!

    That's not a good sample. Mexico has 130 million people and most of them aren't interested in migrating to the USA.

    7 years old dies in custody due to dehydration. So did you refuse to give her water ?

    Did this child's parents fail in their duty to keep their girl away from harm ??

    The US didn't ask to have migrants swarm out of Mexico, trying to invade their territory !! But it's what they're being stuck with, thanks to the arrogance of illegal opportunity-seekers. Remember always, Farah, that what's being attempted is ILLEGAL and SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING.

    But, these migrants are choosing to do what they are doing.

    Blame where it's due, Farah.

    From the link you sent us .... THIS ...

    In a statement, customs and border protection authorities said the girl had not eaten or consumed water in several days.
    Americans didn't do that to her. HER OWN PARENTS DID, by choosing to make their journey in the first place. THEY placed her in harm's way. THEY forced her into that situation.

    Will you ever stop trying to demonise the US ??

    You are spot on. I like how you don't disparage all Mexicans in your post. Those who try to enter the USA illegally are Mexico's WORST. While it's certainly more difficult than the US, there is still plenty of opportunity in Mexico. In one of my conversations in Monterrey I commented about the surprising prosperity. I asked why don't those caravan migrants go there. After all, there are help wanted signs everywhere. The reply was "those Central American migrants don't want to work, they just want a free ride". Many upscale Mexicans wonder if USA public assistance is a necessary evil to buy off the riff raff from committing violence.

    She will if she one day has a pro-American husband. As you know, a proper woman adopts the political beliefs of her father, then later when she marries, her husband.

    We are talking about a kid. A kid is not responsible of anything done by her his parents.

    Even if it was not a kid, leaving someone to death is dishuman.

    I've a funny feeling that she'd never consider taking an American husband, unless, of course, she managed to find one who himself somehow managed to hate America !

    Farah's extent of opposition is so single minded as to qualify as outright, apparently fanatical, hatred of America .. undoubtedly. I hope she somehow has an epiphany that remedies that. But I don't believe it'll happen.
