LA RAZA MEXICAN CONSULATES TELL ILLEGALS GO LOOT GRINGO HOSPITALS! IT'S LEGAL! THEY MUST PAY! VIVA LA RAZA?


The Mexican consul in Los Angeles proudly announced that nearly 300,000 Mexicans in the area have benefited from his government's health referral program, which he says actually saves the county money by encouraging immigrants to seek preventive care rather than waiting for more expensive emergency treatment.

HOSPITALS IN MEX-OCCUPIED MEXIFORNIA FORCED TO PAY OUT BILLIONS FOR "FREE" MEDICAL FOR ILLEGALS. NOT ONE LEGAL VOTED FOR IT!

“Mexico, a country where roughly 40% of the population lives in poverty, has 10 people on FORBES Magazine's 2008 list of the world's billionaires. While these individuals have made important contributions to society via the expansion of services to marginalized areas, job creation, and charitable donations, this concentration of wealth and economic power hinders Mexico's ability to realize more and deeper levels of competition in key industries.”

The
latest Forbes rich list has come out and it’s little surprise that the wealthy got even more money. But before we consider the details, let me bring up an interesting Wikileaks diplomatic cable on Mexico’s rich.
Analysts talk a lot about how Wikileaks cables have harmed U.S. diplomacy. But I find myself turning to them for renderings of inequalities in other countries, and tips on corruption. 
In any case, this July 2007 cable is titled “Who are Mexico’s Wealthiest Business Leaders,” and it starts out thus:
“Mexico, a country where roughly 40% of the population lives in poverty, has 10 people on FORBES Magazine's 2008 list of the world's billionaires. While these individuals have made important contributions to society via the expansion of services to marginalized areas, job creation, and charitable donations, this concentration of wealth and economic power hinders Mexico's ability to realize more and deeper levels of competition in key industries.”
The wealth of the richest Mexicans represented 10 percent of the value of the nation’s gross domestic product, the cable says.
It goes on to say that some of the richest Mexicans took advantage of shortcomings in its political system to expand their wealth and create private sector monopolies while “leaving the average Mexican out in the cold.”
“The negative aspects of this concentration of wealth and economic power cannot be overlooked because many of these individuals control the monopolies and oligopolies that hold back economic growth. SLIM, Salinas, and others have used their influence to sway economic policy and work the system to further their business interests and hinder their competitors. A World Bank report found that billionaire-controlled companies in Mexico are more likely to be involved in monopolistic practices and win amparos, or judicial stays, which allow them to delay regulatory rulings against them while they mire the process in appeals. The result is that SLIM still dominates the telecom market; GE, NBC and others are unable to break into the broadcasting market; and the Federal Competition Commission (Cofeco) remains unable to impose significant penalties on anti-competitive conduct.”
If Forbes is accurate, the concentration of wealth is increasing. While more than 40 million Mexicans live in poverty, the world's richest man, Mexican tycoon Carlos Slim, saw his wealth expand ever more, growing to $74 billion. That’s a rise of $20.5 billion in a year. Slim is in the photo above, to the right of President Felipe Calderon. Slim’s businesses include telecommunications, an airline, a bank, a construction company, department stores (including Sanborns), restaurants, music outlets, insurance, auto parts, and ceramic tiles. 
Coming in at No. 39 on the rich list is another Mexican, German Larrea Mota Velasco and family, with a fortune estimated at $16 billion. The chairman of copper and silver miner Grupo Mexico saw his fortune climb $6.3 billion in the past year, Forbes says.
At No. 66 on the list is Alberto Bailleres Gonzalez, of the mining concern Industrias Penoles, with $11.9 billion. At No. 112 is Ricardo Salinas Pliego, the tycoon owner of TV Azteca, with $8.2 billion. At No. 268 is Jeronimo Arango with $4 billion, largely accumulated from the sale of Cifra, their self-made retail chain, to Wal-Mart. New to the list at No. 310 is Daniel Servitje Montull and family, with $3.5 billion made from Grupo Bimbo, the world’s largest breadmaker. At No. 512 is Emilio Azcarraga Jean, heir to the Televisa fortune with a net worth of $2.3 billion.  Then comes Roberto Gonzalez Barrera and family with a $2 billion fortune from tortillas. At No. 993 is Roberto Hernandez Ramirez with a $1.2 billion fortune from sale of Banamex, the bank. With a slim $1 billion fortune (chump change!) is Alfredo Harp Helu at No. 1140, who also made a fortune from the sale of Banamex. Tied in last place at No. 1140 is Joaquin Guzman Loera, the head of the Sinaloa narcotics cartel. 
So which one is the most admirable and which is the biggest rogue?
