For all the people who are crying foul at Americans for their anger towards Mexico....

Don't bother answering if you aren't willing to read the article. Yes the article is old, but it's still valid because none of the players have changed (Fox and Bush are still in office etc.)

Oh that's right, oh well, my bad there, but he was President until 2006 so the point I was making was still valid (that the ones in power continue this type of activity)

OK, I'll explain it one more time for the slow people.
The article was written sometime in 2005.
Fox lost the election
Calderón takes office Dec 2006.
This means the same people were in office for 1-2 years after the article was written.
That was the point I was making, yes I knew Fox lost the election, in fact I found it a bit disturbing at the time that Mexico had the same problem with exit polls that we did with Bush.

lengthy but informative i would never have believed this, you or the things i have been directed to on you tube. but i have seen to much and heard too much to not believe it. the news, the attempts by our government to slip legislation through. the you owe us, this is ours mind set of mexicans, the we thought we were going to get amnesty. keep us up to date and informed it's a public service. we have to get rid of a lot of them in washington d.c. to make sure they know just how little we like having things shoved up our backside. there is way too much shoving things up our backsides both at the local and federal levels. i've had enough since nafta was passed (no one i know wanted it) glad to see others on board.

The article might have been written in 2005, but the information is timely. I have said that Mexico is colonizing us one illegal at a time, why do you think they have over 50 Mexican Consulars in our country, 10 in California and Texas. Why would they care more about the rights and the demands of those Mexicans here in the USA, than those in Mexico. You can say much about the elite in Mexico but not adding to their bottom line is not one of them. Why do they give their citizens maps to greener pastures in the USA, while encouraging them to keep their traditions, language, flags and allegiance to Mexico. Those in the USA better wake up because in 50 years we will be not only be under the boot of the Mexican government, but we will be a country of the very wealthy and the very poor

great article. Long but I read almost all of it. Skimmed through a couple of articles. I've been agreeing with the pro's that US is interferring with Mexico, but I have been saying it's a two way street, Economically, we have been abusing the situation in agriculture, but their corporation has a one way advantage against American companies. We can't do business there, but they can do here. IE Cemex, Petromex, and others.

The players are different. PM Harper (Canada), Caulderon (Pres of Mexico) and Bush traitor to Americans and America
Here's the problem in which Bush has. He has no authority with out Congresses approval. To which he has to bring all this stuff up to them, and he hasn't. So what he has and is doing is illegal in every sense of the word. However he can bypass all of that by calling it an Expansion of NAFTA. And that is what he's proposing to Congress when they return to Washington. And he wants them to be "responsible" and pass it for his gains, and where he can continue to be irresponsible and sell America down the tube. The Trade Agreement for NAFTA is up in Jan of 2008/2009.
So get back on your phones, send emails, and faxes to your State representatives, Senators, and Congress Members, and tell them NO to the expansion.

haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa u are such funny person u know ??? , first fox isn't there anymore and u say that he is and then say the Mexican government is manipulating the USA !!!??? wow just wow . i bet some would believe that though :D .
just so u know the USA government has intervened in so many occasions in the business of other countries with out being called yet u think u are being controlled by another country , well that is hilarious :)) BRAVO i needed to laugh .
note : i wanted to add that even when there may be 50 consulates that doesn't mean that they care more for the needs of the Mexicans in the USA . i mean a simple math equation can prove this wrong ... there is someone or a bunch of someones who suppose to represent the Mexican citizens in every city in Mexico .

Mexicans always have the influence in American politics because they tend to benefit who wins in the elections.

Yup, the mexican government has had a long standing policy of exporting it's number one commodity (poor unskilled workers) so they can be supported by the US tax payer and send most of their money back into the mexican economy.
The Bush family has been in bed with them for decades.

Yes, well. Open borders and such like that tend to cause all the Bushie buddies to get rich off of every kind of legal and illegal trade.
George's policy is "I won't ask and you won't tell. We keep our mouths shut. If you get caught or killed, I'll deny any knowledge of it."
Hey, same think with Fox.
What a coincidence!

I am and don't like it one bit. One of the main reasons I'm against the proposed North American Union is because it encourages illegal immigration (and it's supposed to be only free trade). Thanks!
