I’ve long thought that the notion of Mexico being our “good neighbor” to the south is just utter bullish!t. Yet we get so many politicians of all stripes who keep uttering this vacuous lie.
Mexico is essentially a narco-republic … a country controlled by criminal mafias.
There are lots of reasons for this, one of which is Mexico’s justice system which is based on Napoleonic Code, i.e., the accused must prove his innocence. The average Mexican citizen doesn’t have the wherewithal to “prove his innocence” while a cartel chief can easily “prove his innocence” by paying off the police chief, or prosecutor, or judge.
The relationship between Mexico and the United States is akin to the relationship between a drug dealer and a drug addict, or even like a brutally abusive husband and an abused wife with Stockholm Syndrome.
Mexico is not our friend nor is it our ally.
Despite this, I still occasionally visit Mexico for day trips. There is just something about Mexico culture and food that I find charming.
In the meantime, watch your six in Mexico amigo … vaya con Dios.
Thanks, Rick. Interestingly, Mexico just surpassed Chinas as our largest trading partner.
I generally like the country. It's laid back "mañana" culture is fun to visit, like much of Central/South America, but the corruption there takes its toll on their society.
I believe the federal government has no idea how many illegals are crossing our border and frankly, I don’t think they care. My major concern is the vast majority are young men. I don’t think that bodes well for our security. Many terrorists and for that matter, foreign troops, could easily cross our border in preparation for future conflict.

Enjoy your trip to Mexico.
Have a fun trip, Ken.
Cover up for the Cartels, allies?
Or why Lie to We the People
I feel the drugging of the homeless give space for Illegals to move in nationwide or Blue cities alone
Explain the drug abuse among the homeless.
