That’s why one of Mexico party called “ PRI “ mostly won the elections for decades!

      I am a 68 year
      old man who was born in Ohio and had only lived in on other place before last August (Florida for the past five years).
      I have never had anything against Latinos (or blacks or Asians or anyone else) in my life. I have lived in San Jose, the capital city of Costa Rica for most of the past 11 months, and I have grown to appreciate Latinos in particular much more than I ever thought I would. There are lots of immigrants here from other countries in Central America, and lots of ex-pats from the USA who live here as well.
      Of coyrse there are social problems here: such problems exist anywhere human beings exist. But it is a democracy and generally life is good.
      Is the goverment corrupt? Sure. All governments are to at least some extent: the nature of the beast is that "Power corrupts".
      But in autocratic countries where a single person IS essentially the government, you have to add the last part of the maxim I quoted above to the discourse, and that is that "Absolute power corrupts absolutely".
      Most of he corrupt money infesting this country's coffers comes from laundering drug money for the drug cartels in South America. But most of the populace is willing to overlook that as long as their lives and moderately high standard of living are preserved. That is the local "Social Contract".
      Very, very few Costa Ricans even attempt to emigrate to the USA, because many people who are not rich correctly assume that they can live better here than there.
      I would guess that there are more relatively wealthy ex-pats from the USA here than there are middle class Ticos (people born to at least one Costa Rican parent) in the United States. Somewhat surprisigly, a whole lot of the ex-pats have admitted to me that they voted for
      trump, but most of them have healthy bank accounts, or real estate, or good stocks.
      I live on my pension from The State Teachers Retirement System of Ohio, not from Social Security, and I watch carefully how I spend my money, so I get by OK., and I am happier here than I had been for years before coming here. :-)

      @@victormeunier9075 Actually, I think most Mexicans have now realized that AMLO was/is the worst possible option. He has not delivered anything of his supposed promises, most of his economic politics are stupid decisions, he governs through caprices and tantrums, he has dismantled any autonomous organization that served as counterbalance, has demonstrated to be hypercorrupt, nepotist, incompetent, blames absolutely everything on his predecessor and is incapable of owning on his mistakes... although in his speeches he wants to be portrayed as leftist, his actual politics have hurted women, children, the poor, etc. the most, also he made alliances/pacts with ultraright parties which constantly work to undermine minorities' right.

Macron was already largely despised (and is getting more and more autocratic and racist) and Mélenchon (who isn´t far left, and was the only candidate with a real Programm on ecology) missed the second vote by only a very small margin…

    That Mexican congressional candidate, "Fernando Puron," was murdered in public, while posing for a selfie with a supporter after a campaign debate!
    A surveillance camera captured a man walking up from behind, raising a gun and shooting him in the back of the head, that's terrifying!
    Evidently, Puron was running on an, "anti-cartel platform," obviously making him a target in Piedras Negras, which is scary for Americans, too because it's a town on the Texas/Mexico border.
    He was only one of 113 candidates and politicians who have been murdered in Mexico just since the election cycle started.
    Fifty relatives have also been killed and 132 politicians, mostly at the local level, have been threatened.
    15,000 candidates run for the most open government positions Mexico has ever had, so Drug cartels and organized criminals felt especially desperate to try silencing those who would threaten their hold on lucrative smuggling routes to the world's number one consumer of illegal drugs, the United States of America.
    This is yet another huge reason thousands of innocent people are seeking asylum in America, Because they fear for the safety of their families.
    And, whether you like Mexicans or not, or believe we must reform our Immigration laws and practices, it's difficult to believe anyone who would say that they wouldn't try doing the exact same thing to protect their family!

      Not at all.
      Once you remove their main source of income, they're just gonna move on to the next thing that sells. Cartels aren't just an abstract concept, they're people, and thus, they can think. Once drugs don't sell anymore, what's stopping them from doing bank hits instead? Kidnapping and ransoming en masse?
      And that's assuming that all countries, suddenly, legalized *all* sorts of drugs completely. 'Cause even if it was legalized in the US and Mexico, there's still plenty of countries out there to support drug trade.
      And even then, that's assuming that drugs were legalized to the absolute, no regulation at all, and with anyone being able to buy as much as they'd want. Otherwise, if there was even a tiny bit of regulation (like, say, you can't sell heroin to kids), then there'd still be a market, even if niche.
      Things are unfortunately not that simple, and if the solution was that easy, it would've already been tried. Because, even if drugs were legalized, all they'd have to do to keep their stuff selling would be to sell at a lower price than normal.
      Plus, come on, it'd just be destructive. Just imagine anyone being able to buy heroin. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Yes and no. That insult is actually so Mexican that it is less than useless in any other country. It's like angrily screaming "bloody" something outside the UK. That word was a reason for mocking Colombian singer Maluma for using it. There was a Comedy Central Stand-up Colombia comedian who said: "What is even that word? Have you ever used it? Like "Vaya chingue sumercé". (Sumercé is a very Colombian word for "you" from the region that surrounds Bogotá. It sounds like cacophony next to such a Mexican term.)

      obbchannel No it's not. Spanish is a Latin language. English is mixed between Germanic and Latin. It's more like a German trying to speak Dutch.

      Honorable Catsmeat Yes except for the fact that most Mexican presidents have been mostly of Spanish descent.
