< In the past 10 years, he says Mexico has improved but there is still a lot of impoverished Mexicans esp I the rural areas.<

This is statement is not even debatable. Of course this is absolutely true.

However, Many, Many of the impoverished rural workers who used to seek flight to the US for a robust employment scene now seek a move to the urban areas of Mexico where economic growth is greater than here in the US. This was one of the goals of NAFTA and other reforms, and it has worked. Little by little.. The US is becoming the old Mexico...

We had some friends of visit from Medellin about 6 months ago, the wanted to see LA and Hollywood,etc.

They were shocked at how filthy the city and streets were.. They called it a disguesting third world country... Pretty interesting from people who are supposedly from a "Third World Country".. Yes, you visit Medellin.. It is unbelievable from were it was 20 years ago... The mass transit and the Metros are spotless and clean. No Grafitti.
