I’m sure we can expect many more law-abiding illegals as a result of an even more authoritarian central gov in good ol’ Me-hi-co.

Our CIA used to dabble in foreign politics in countries that were far less important to the economy and well-being of the USA. It should be made clear to the government of Mexico that the clock is ticking and if the crime, drug, and illegal alien problems continue to worsen, we will treat them more like Pakistan than Canada.

+1. Would that we spent as much effort trying to straighten out Mexico, which is right across our southern border, as we do Islamic pestholes that are halfway around the world.

Plutarco Elías Calles (Spanish pronunciation: [pluˈtarko eˈli.as ˈkaʎes]; 25 September 1877 – 19 October 1945) was a Mexican general and politician. He was president of Mexico from 1924 to 1928, but he continued to be the de facto ruler from 1928–1935, a period known as the maximato. Calles is most noted for a fierce oppression of Catholics that led to the Cristero War, a civil war between Catholic rebels and government forces, and for founding the Partido Nacional Revolucionario (National Revolutionary Party, or PNR), which eventually became the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI) – which governed Mexico for more than 70 years.

It does not matter who is elected in Mexico. Mexico is a failed state. The narco gangs run the country.

Right, Sounds like a perfect job for a dozen or so UAV Drones to start with anyway.

Now that you mention it…

I’m more concerned about how Mexican citizens will vote in the U.S. presidential election.

As you should be.

What I want to know is, will Peña Nieto and the PRI be pissed off about Fast and Furious?

Flora Duh on July 1, 2012 at 8:03 PM

In a word, NO. Socialsits will hang together. As a matter of fact I think Nieto is happy about the violence which will help him get elected.

That aside, tired of the new corruption, welcome back old corruption.

Boy, does that sound familiar. And close to home.

So they are like the Chicago thugs who won in 2008 ?

would that be anything like “The most honest, most open, most transparent administration, evah!”?

…so many people thinking my thoughts…it’s scary!

Put yourself in the place of the mexican people.

The PAN seems ineffective and I really doubt they’re less corrupt then the PRI.

The PRI claims that they changed, cleaned house and moved forward to an open, honest democratic future.

Jazz, would that be anything like “The most honest, most open, most transparent administration, evah!”?

What is that they say — drop the radical pose to achieve the radical ends….

I’d venture to say it matters not which label is attached to the turds floating at the top of the cesspool that is the Mexican government. They are all pretty much the same and will remain that way until someone eventually pumps the septic tank, and that won’t happen in our lifetimes.

Tim Zank on July 1, 2012 at 6:46 PM

Honestly Mexico could use a few million American born Mexicans to migrate there. That or shutting the border and stop being a pressure release valve for Mexico…

The PRI’s history is a fairly epic tale which could have come straight out of a Godfather movie script. Their amazing ability to win elections with more than 70% of the vote for decade after decade was truly spectacular, what with the 141% turnout they could usually manage.

So they are like the Chicago thugs who won in 2008 ?

Wouldn’t AMLO be closer to Obama than EPN?

Don’t know much about EPN, cept I’ve heard he’s as dumb as a box of rocks.
