dismantle the kleptocracy and implement a free economy

Years ago someone commented at SI that Spain installed the same corrupt system in all of Latin America. There's a lot of truth to that.

A talking head on FOX the other day was predicting that if Mexico could win it's drug civil war (let's face it, that's what this is), their economy is poised to boom.

That doesn't take into account another serious problem they face, and that's the rapid depletion of their oil reserves (the US currently gets almost all that they export), which will mean none available for them to sell in just a few short years.

Oil money provides a big chunk of their federal funds. Without that, they're going to be in even deeper doo doo than they already are..

And if we don't secure our southern border, we'll be simply overwhelmed by fresh hordes of illegals fleeing the mess down there..
