Mexico Is Not a Functioning Democracy

mexico side eyes obama
Peña Nieto side-eyes Obama

FP: The United States is working under the false premise that Mexico is a functioning democracy, one where federal authorities are doing their best to strengthen public institutions and uproot rampant organized crime and corruption. It is thought that crime and corruption stem principally from broken local institutions and social decay. But we need to turn this logic on its head. The real problem is at the top, not the bottom, of the Mexican political system. And the key obstacles reside within the Mexican federal government. more

  1. One of the most corrupt countries on the planet!!

    Mexico criticizes the US for capital punishment policies, Second Amendment, etc. while their people escape the madness by fleeing to the north, and the only ones armed are the cartels.

    THEY DO THIS BECAUSE THEY CAN, KIND OF LIKE THE “BLAME BUSH” MANTRA.

    The Presidente usually retires on the monies robbed of the poor and unsupported, and lives happily ever after.

    VIVA LA MEXICO MY ASS.

  3. Mexico is a corrupt example of what goes on in Hades. Mexico has a long history of kidnapping citizens and cutting their hearts out in satanic rituals. What to do?

    Send all the progressives down there to fix the problem. They are experts after all. Take the community organizer with you.

    Let us know when you achieve utopia.

    Or: build the wall and lock the gates. In addition to sending all the progressives and the organizer down there, of course.

  4. For decades I have watched how the people of Mexico are screwed by their government. It doesn’t matter if it is the PAN or the PRI, it is always the same thing. It doesn’t matter if it was Benito Juarez or Maximillian…the leaders stank then and they still stink.

  5. I grew up in San Diego and came of age shortly after the poor bastards decided to vote in socialism.
    They broke up the farms, gave them to the SJWs, and they promptly ate all the chickens. As a result eggs sometimes reached a street price of 1$ each during peak tourist times.
    Keep in mind that you could rent a nice apartment at that time for less than $200 a month.
    Here I could buy a flat of eggs for 30 cents. I would drive across the border with a trunk load, then buy fireworks and head back home.
    I could make as much as $300 a trip.
    If you want to understand why they are where they are; greed.
