AMERICA SOUTH of the BORDER - MEXICO
RETURN TO TOPICAL GUIDE AMER SOU BORDER
STILL RESEARCHING EARLIER COMMENTS FROM THE OLDER LETTERS
Note: I am shifting most items relating directly to immigration, legal and illegal, over to a new page as the issue goes beyond Mexico, as it is misleading to imply otherwise. You can find this material listed under TOPICAL GUIDE AMERICAN POLITICS, or go directly to IMMIGRATION.
07/03/06 Mexico. The United States has ducked a bullet with the apparent election victory of presidential candidate Felipe Calderon, subject to possible re-count. Election of his far left rival Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, mayor of Mexico City would likely have lead Mexico into the Venezuelan orbit. Incompetence and corruption any day are preferable to Cuban Communism on our border. However, Calderon is a political unknown, so, perhaps, there is opportunity for improvements. We will wait and see, although non of this changes our need to secure or border and purge the illegal immigration. JES
