Sure they want our consumer goods, our superior health care, even our minimum wage. But did you ever wonder exactly what could be at the backs of all the illegal but otherwise proud Mexicans who swarm across the US border? I mean the driving force of the poverty in Mexico, and why Mexican politicians seem so inept at resolving it?
Well, here’s a clue. PEMEX, the government-owned oil company, and what it’s done over the years via Mark in Mexico:
"Pemex money kept the PRI in power in Mexico for 52 years (and skimming foreign oil companies’ money for 23 years before that). Pemex money paid for political campaigns, federal, state and local. Pemex money bought votes by the tens of millions and probably hundreds of millions over time. Pemex money bought mansions in Mexico City, beach homes on the Mexican and California coasts, villas in Europe and plantations from the Caribbean to Pago Pago. Pemex money financed high level political murders, the machine-gunning of protesting students and massacres of campesinos from Tijuana to San Cristobal de las Casas."
Just consider what PEMEX does to the environment. Mark has pix and details.
