I've been searching through the corruption charts, and surprisingly USA is above Mexico in all of them. Can someone explain this to me? No offense against Mexicans but everyone knows that the corruption in Mexico is much worse. I'm sure it has to do with the size of the country population wise or something. Please explain.

The higher a country is in the charts, the _less_ corruption it's supposed to have. So the USA has less corruption than Mexico, according to all charts I've seen.
Exmpl:

USA: 17
Mexico: 57

Almost 10% of Mexico's population is in the United States illegally.

Because Mexican corruption is not charted. Also, the peso is worth less than the dollar.

Mexico is so corrupt that they falsely report the rates of corruption to make them selves look better.

The real question is "Is there any country in the known world who is higher in corruption than the U.S.?"

Corruption is only one of our problems......We also rate first, among first world countries, in violence, obesity, drug abuse and alcohol abuse, not to mention we are the greatest consumers of fossil fuels......
