What is wrong with Mexico?

Corruption in the government. I know the current President is trying to clean it up, but let's face it, that will take years and years. Police who are also hit men for the mob. The drug gangs are so big that they own most of the politicians and law enforcement. Because of this, the country is pretty much an incompetent mess.

I think that Big Industry is pretty into the concept of "Everything's fine! Globalization Rocks! The Whole World is being turned into Li'l Americas, Courtesy of your Local Corporations!!!". The US trying to fix the big issues with Mexico, China, and Russia, would just cause trouble for global corporations, which do just fine under the current system. And most news companies are part of industry, too.

Plus, Mexico's been a nightmarish country since the Spanish left, so it's old news. At least Iraq is only 7 years old.

It is, but our government, no matter from what party it is, ignores it on purpose. First, both political parties let themselves being pushed by special interest into playing the politically correct games. Second, both parties are selfish enough to put our safety in jeopardy for the sake of winning the Hispanic votes. Third, our population *refuses* to see that the only ones affected by the illegal immigration wave are the true hardworking tax payers, and for pity, give the illegal immigrants rights that the tax payers dont have.

I agree, and I live on a boarder town. It's so scary here now that I don't go any where NEAR the boarder!!!!! I don't drive along the fence and I no longer shop downtown. I know the businesses are affected....I don't know anyone who will go downtown!!! and the poor mexicans that depend on the tourism....i know they must be suffering. I just read that there were 12 be-headings 12!!!!!!!! what is that all about????? are they living in 1200BC.
