    I want to know what your thoughts on the Mexican Government are.

    Do you think it's hopelessly corrupt and ineffective?

    Why, or why not?

    Should the US take a more active role in controlling immigration from Mexico?

    What are your thoughts on the causes behind Mexico's economic problems?

    You in particular are one I want to hear from...

    "LA is going left"

    Seems to me you ought to have a lot of positive opinions on the Mexican government...since it's been, "going left" for about the last 100 years up until recently.

    nah, i pay enough mordidas when i travel to know well enough that the mexican govt. is corrupt...besides, why would i be lauding the mexican government when the leftist side of me wants to see the teachers and campesinos in oaxaca spit on the current administration? btw, i'm only half-mexican AMERICAN but that should do

    Nationality or ethnicity....

    If your heritage is Mexican in either of those two categories you count.

    I'd prefer some people who actually have lived in Mexico participate but I don't think there are many who have on the forum.

    There is a correlation...


    And I'm not concerned with the direction of our government...

    It's one of the least corrupt and most transparent governments in the world(by far the least corrupt for how big the country is)...whereas Mexico has one of the most corrupt and least transparent.

    why does it matter what mexican-americans think about the mexican admin? it's not like we poll irish-americans to see what they think about bertie ahern's african immigration policies and the problems that have resulted due to an influx of such immigrants in that country

    many mexican-americans, particularly the younger gen, want to disassociate themselves as much as possible from mexicans across the border who can barely speak english...but then, i've already pointed this out in another thread

    I don't have a chilibowl by the way...

    If we were to meet you'd beg me to do you. So just save yourself future embarrasment and give up that line of attack.

    after looking at your pic, i'd say otherwise, but that doesn't really matter, i'm surprised you even bit, i would've stopped had you ignored it this time (only the second time i've mentioned it)

    as for sex, not really, i would never do a spurs fan and i've seen your pic, not my taste

    Because the Mexican Admin is probably 100% of the reason they are Mexican American.

    That's got nothing to do with the reason I am asking the question...

    And I am not so much concerned with whether or not they want to disassociate themselves from the Mexican Government as I am the over-all political views of the Mexicans coming over here for the purpose of a better life.

    ponky,

    The American government has it's dirty laundry aired daily for public consuption...it's called transparency.

    Just because you don't hear this sort of thing often with other countries doesn't mean it doesn't happen...it's just that those govts are less transparent.

    A lot of so called Democracies have state controlled media and other most deicdedly unDemocratic tenets...(France comes to mind immediately).

    You think it's their political views that leads them to cross?

    at least in texas, that's not accurate...blame a certain general who didn't have the authorization from the mex. govt. to make deals in its name

    Maybe not, but it has everything to do with the thought process that goes on in your mind when you view Mexicans or Mexican-Americans, who cares about making distinctions, right? I doubt most Mexican-Americans even know what the is going on in Mexico right now and probably have been as far south as the nearest bar in Laredo to sip some margaritas and buy cheap silver. They probably still think Fox is the president of Mexico. I understand your question but it's like you assume Mexican-Americans know what's going on and stay informed about Mexico, tuning in to Primer Impacto every night.
