Are Americans concerned about the Mexican presidential elections?

Question

THEY SHOULD!! There are 3 major candidates, they have different proposals that concern America.
Is everyone aware of each candidates proposals?
Each candidate proposed their plans on the presidential debate. I'm voting for Obrador, the EX major of Mexico City. He promises to increase the tax on the rich and decrease the tax on the poor.
Another candidate (Calderon) proposed another taxing plan. He proposed to reduce the taxes on the rich even more since they already paid good money, and increase the taxes on the poor because they are majority and more money will come to the country from them. Some want to give out perks to Mexicans staying in Mexico, another wants to help Mexicans going over there. They have different ideas on using the money sent by Mexicans from the USA to Mexico.

The increase or decrease of Mexican immigration depends on the next president bettering or worsening the Mexican situation.

Do Americans realize how much this election means to them?

Obrador wants make it more difficult for American companies to come here, that would decrease outsourcing in the USA. Calderon wants to make it easier for American companies to come here, that would increase outsourcing in the USA.

Answer 1

I support obrador, and all I got to say is the united states better keep their goddamn noses out of mexico's elections, there's enough corruption in mexico as it is

Answer 2

I do care, but that is mostly due to the fact that I live within sight of Tijuana. Of the three major candidates, I suppose I find Calderon the least scary. His election probably means a continuation of Fox's policies, and I think he has the clearest understanding of the interdependence between our two economies. Here in the US, we have become dependent on cheap immigrant labor in the agricultural sector, and too much illegal immigration results in the situation we have in some counties in Georgia and North Carolina: schools and hospitals are being inundated with non-English speaking students and patients, bilingual teachers and medical personnel are not available, and the social infrastructure is being destroyed as a result.
In Mexico, you have become dependent on money being remitted by immigrant laborers, and a sudden interruption of that money would destroy a good bit of your economy, which is in nobody's interest. We need to strike a balance between not enough and too much.
Suddenly, the status quo doesn't look so bad, does it?

Answer 3

Mr. Obrador is right he care for his people and country , he will keep most of his people working in his country becouse he loves his people he will open up more business with, china, japan ,spain and more, i think they need some one like him to be independet from the explotation of the poor people ,all other ones been sold them self to big business from abroad, let them elect a good person conbenient to them , and not the one the does injustice to the people

Answer 4

How about a candidate that deals with illegal immigrants in America? Someone needs to deal with the fact that none of your people want to stay in your country.
