Did Mexico used to be a good country?

Jessica

"Mexico is waging war on the U.S. through mass immigration illegal and legal, through the assertion of Mexican national claims over the U.S., and through the subversion of its laws and sovereignty, all having the common end of bringing the southwestern part of the U.S. under the control of the expanding Mexican nation, and of increasing Mexicoâ€™s political and cultural influence over the U.S. as a whole.

Cultural imperialism

We experience Mexicoâ€™s assault on our country incrementallyâ€”as a series of mini-crises, each of which calls forth ever-renewed debates and perhaps some tiny change of policy. Because it has been with us so long and has become part of the cultural and political air we breathe, it is hard for us to see the deep logic behind our "immigration problem." Focused as we are on border incursions, border enforcement, illegal alien crime, guest worker proposals, changes of government in Mexico City, and other such transient problems and eventsâ€”all of them framed by the mediaâ€™s obfuscation of whether or not illegal immigrationâ€™s costs outweigh its benefits and by the maudlin script of "immigrant rights"â€”we donâ€™t get the Big Picture: that the Mexican government is promoting and carrying out an attack on the United States.

Another reason we miss whatâ€™s happening is that our focus is on the immigrants as individuals. Thus our leaders talk about illegal immigrants as "good dads," "hard working folks" seeking to better their lives and their familyâ€™s prospects. In fact, this is not about individual immigrants and their families, legal or illegal. It is about a great national migration, a nation of people moving into our nationâ€™s land, in order to reproduce on it their own nation and people and push ours aside.

Thus, in orchestrating this war on America, the Mexican state is representing the desires of the Mexican people as a whole.

What are these desires?

(1) Political revanchismâ€”to regain control of the territories Mexico lost to the U.S. in 1848, thus avenging themselves for the humiliations they feel they have suffered at our hands for the last century and a half;

(2) Cultural imperialismâ€”to expand the Mexican culture and the Spanish language into North America; and especially

(3) Economic parasitismâ€”to maintain and increase the flow of billions of dollars that Mexicans in the U.S. send back to their relatives at home every year, a major factor keeping the chronically troubled Mexican economy afloat and the corrupt Mexican political system cocooned in its status quo.

Not in my lifetime. If you can believe this....their Presidents are more crooked than ours. Mexican Presidents don't have Social Security Trust Fund to steal from.

PAPA SMURF!!!

There are vacation spots in Mexico that are beautiful. There are also some cities that are not bad. But then there is the rest of the country--people living in shacks, freezing to death, starving. Really sux.

I think mexico used to be better, but then their politicians forgot somehow that the vatican needs to be countered with some common sense, now they've got too many people and all the poor are headed for america. Bush is saying, 'we'll leave the light on for ya!' LOL

Better find out who is coming and why-not the poor they can't/ Most come for money and selfish reasons (most). A few come because of no other choice (very few). You must know some from Mexico-if they are honest ask them. Many Criminals come because were very easy-Drugs-people come for profit-most come for the money-they want (not need) more. Few come because they need. Mexico is very developed in many areas-and many tourist go there. What risk-many come right through front gate. The others must cross the hard way-those who are poor-those bringing drugs (Drug people use all ways)-criminals. Money not from need but want for selfish reasons in number one reason.

They were the greatest when they invented the flour tortilla and opened a chain of Taco Bells in the US.

MEXICO has always been the Armpit of the North American Continent. If its bad, it is first found in Mexico.

NONAME

No. Their ancestors the Aztecs were very depraved people who practiced human sacrifice and slavery.

It used to be the the best till American corporate companies started ripping people of by buying the farm land from the farmers for the cheapest prices and producing goods at a mass rate and raising the prices on goods and that was part of the down fall and they cheated the Mexican Government out of Billions of Territory tax Dollars
paying pennies on tax days because that's all they said it was worth when actually the where having an income of millions.

and that is the same thing that they did in the oil Riggs in Mexico

but before all that remember the Montezuma and the Aztec Empire till full of gold and stuff they where the ones that discovered Cocoa Chocolate and the ones with the recipe till Hernando Cortes came and Conquered as they say but what he really did was destroyed the Aztec Empire

But did you know that The Aztec Empire Where the first and only at that time to have working sewerage.

Mexico is a great country, the immigration issue is occurring due to a phenomenon known as offer and demand, america demands workers for low status jobs and Mexican workers are willing to offer (minimum wage differences between the two countries are enormous and that motivates low status Mexican workers to migrate) check it out and you'll notice you have practically no illegal Mexican engineers, doctors, psychologists or dentists, because these people do really well in Mexico. Now... most foreigners have the terrible idea of Mexico being some sort of wasteland, and even though the border towns of Mexico (on both the south and the north) are in terrible shape, most of Mexico isn't that bad. Mexico is a highly polarized country, with half of the population living a good life with all the needs met, and another half under the line of poverty. According to the World Bank, Mexico ranks 12th in the world in regard to GDP and has the fourth largest per capita income in Latin America just after Argentina, Chile and Costa Rica, and it is firmly established as an upper middle-income country. Some counties in Mexico show a development superior to that of Italy, while others are similar to Malawi in Africa.
