#1 Notice the xenophobic aspects of the Mexican Constitution never get highlighted in MSM. American prosperity is help by large foreign investments from the British, Dutch, Japanese, etc. The unemployment and poverty which is systemic to the Mexican economic environment is permanent with the xenophobia and corruption that appears not to be correctable short of a revolution.

#3 We spend billions and kill tens of thousands securing Iraq's oil and we can't scheme our way into the Mexican reserves. Nuke em.

#4 Careful... the stage is being set outsourcing management of PEMEX. Will the tendrils of the ChiCom or Venezuela appear in the shadows overnite probing the possibilities? Don't laugh... search around and take a look at who is outsourced to manage the post and lock areas of the Panama Canal.

The question is, what could we expect from Hugo's lackeys or the ChiComs setting up shop next door?

Energy prices are so high in Mexico that it's sometimes cheaper to make textiles in the U.S. despite lower Mexican wages

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

(Does that make me a bad person? Good!)

#9 should Mexico decide to sell Pemex to the Chicoms, I'd suggest a shutdown of the border and full expulsion of all illegals via roundup. Let the dice roll

#10 Frank G, maybe the adminstration should extend its policy of facilitating regime change in hostile regimes to Mexico. Also, given the dangerous business climate in Mexico, wouldn't be surprised if some of those chicoms and chavezcoms should have the same life expectancy as a Tijuana police chief.
