MEXICO ORDERS OBAMA TO LET MORE OF THEIR LOOTERS IN!

OBAMA RESPONDED THAT HIS ADMINISTRATION IS ALREADY INFESTED WITH LA RAZA SUPREMACIST. THE ONLY THING ELSE HE COULD DO FOR ILLEGALS IS FLY THE MEX FLAG OVER THE LA RAZA WHITE HOUSE!





THERE ARE MORE BILLIONAIRES IN MEXICO THAN IN SAUDI ARABIA. BY EXPORTING MILLIONS OF MEXICO'S POOR, PREGNANT AND CRIMINALS OVER OUR BORDERS TO LOOT AMERICAN, THE RULING CLASS OF MEXICO CAN MORE EASILY CONTROL THE ECONOMY AND KEEP IT IN THEIR POCKETS!
THE RICHEST MAN IN THE WORLD IS CARLOS SLIM, WHO OWNS THE NEW YORK TIMES, IF YOU'VE WONDERED WHY THE TIMES IS SUCH A PROPAGANDA MOUTHPIECE FOR LA RAZA PROPAGANDA AND OPEN BORDERS!

“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?

“Among the commodities that Mexico exports is labor power. US corporations depend on a supply of labor power from Mexican workers for their plants in Mexico and the United States. The remittances of the latter, a major source of income for millions of Mexican families, are crucial for Mexico’s GDP. Those US and foreign plants that operate on the Mexican side of the US-Mexico border, across from US cities such as Laredo, McClaren and El Paso, Texas, and San Diego, California, depend on a constant migration of low-wage workers from southern to northern Mexico. Despite the draconian controls on immigration, the integration of the labor markets is such that, according to one estimate, a 10 percent increase in wages for unskilled workers in the US over time results in a 1.8 percent rise in Mexican wages.”

Mexico prefers to export its poor, not uplift them

Mexico prefers to export its poor, not uplift them

At this week's summit, failed reforms under Fox should be the issue, not US actions.

By George W. Grayson WILLIAMSBURG, VA.

At the parleys this week with his US and Canadian counterparts in Cancún, Mexican President Vicente Fox will press for more opportunities for his countrymen north of the Rio Grande. Specifically, he will argue for additional visas for Mexicans to enter the United States and Canada, the expansion of guest-worker schemes, and the "regularization" of illegal immigrants who reside throughout the continent. In a recent interview with CNN, the Mexican chief executive excoriated as "undemocratic" the extension of a wall on the US-Mexico border and called for the "orderly, safe, and legal" northbound flow of Mexicans, many of whom come from his home state of Guanajuato. Mexican legislators share Mr. Fox's goals. Silvia Hernández Enriquez, head of the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for North America, recently emphasized that the solution to the "structural phenomenon" of unlawful migration lies not with "walls or militarization" but with "understanding, cooperation, and joint responsibility." Such rhetoric would be more convincing if Mexican officials were making a good faith effort to uplift the 50 percent of their 106 million people who live in poverty. To his credit, Fox's "Opportunities" initiative has improved slightly the plight of the poorest of the poor. Still, neither he nor Mexico's lawmakers have advanced measures that would spur sustained growth, improve the quality of the workforce, curb unemployment, and obviate the flight of Mexicans abroad. Indeed, Mexico's leaders have turned hypocrisy from an art form into an exact science as they shirk their obligations to fellow citizens, while decrying efforts by the US senators and representatives to crack down on illegal immigration at the border and the workplace. What are some examples of this failure of responsibility? · When oil revenues are excluded, Mexico raises the equivalent of only 9 percent of its gross domestic product in taxes - a figure roughly equivalent to that of Haiti and far below the level of major Latin American nations. Not only is Mexico's collection rate ridiculously low, its fiscal regime is riddled with loopholes and exemptions, giving rise to widespread evasion. Congress has rebuffed efforts to reform the system. Insufficient revenues mean that Mexico spends relatively little on two key elements of social mobility: Education commands just 5.3 percent of its GDP and healthcare only 6.10 percent, according to the World Bank's last comparative study. · A venal, "come-back-tomorrow" bureaucracy explains the 58 days it takes to open a business in Mexico compared with three days in Canada, five days in the US, nine days in Jamaica, and 27 days in Chile. Mexico's private sector estimates that 34 percent of the firms in the country made "extra official" payments to functionaries and legislators in 2004. These bribes totaled $11.2 billion and equaled 12 percent of GDP. · Transparency International, a nongovernmental organization, placed Mexico in a tie with Ghana, Panama, Peru, and Turkey for 65th among 158 countries surveyed for corruption. · Economic competition is constrained by the presence of inefficient, overstaffed state oil and electricity monopolies, as well as a small number of private corporations - closely linked to government big shots -that control telecommunications, television, food processing, transportation, construction, and cement. Politicians who talk about, much less propose, trust-busting measures are as rare as a snowfall in the Sonoran Desert. Geography, self-interests, and humanitarian concerns require North America's neighbors to cooperate on myriad issues, not the least of which is immigration. However, Mexico's power brokers have failed to make the difficult decisions necessary to use their nation's bountiful wealth to benefit the masses. Washington and Ottawa have every right to insist that Mexico's pampered elite act responsibly, rather than expecting US and Canadian taxpayers to shoulder burdens Mexico should assume.

MEXICO ASKS U.S. TO STOP DEPORTING SERIOUS CRIMINAL… GUESS OBAMA’S LA RAZA I.C.E WILL SIMPLY LET THEM GO?!?

Mexico Asks U.S. To Stop Deporting Serious Criminals

Last Updated: Mon, 09/27/2010 - 11:14am

In a flabbergasting request, a coalition of Mexican lawmakers has asked the United States to stop deporting illegal immigrants who have been convicted of serious crimes in American courts.

The preposterous demand was made at a recent southern California conference in which the mayors of four Mexican cities that border the U.S. gathered to discuss cross-border issues. The only American mayor who attended the biannual event was San Diego’s Jerry Sanders, evidently because his city hosted it this year at a fancy downtown hotel.

Among the cross-border topics that were addressed at the conference was the deportation of Mexican citizens who have committed violent crimes in the U.S. The felons are persona non grata in their communities, say the mayors of Tijuana, Ciudad Juarez, Nogales and Nuevo Laredo. They want U.S. officials to stem the deportation of such convicts to their cities, according to a local newspaper report that covered the conference.

To support the request, the mayor (Jose Reyes Ferriz) of Mexico’s most violent city, Ciudad Juarez, pointed out that of 80,000 people deported to his community in the past three years nearly 30,000 had committed serious crimes in the U.S. Around 7,000 had served sentences for rape and 2,000 for murder. The criminal deportees have contributed to the escalating drug-cartel violence in his city, Mayor Ferriz said, so he wants the U.S. to make other arrangements when prison sentences are completed.

If this seems unbelievable, consider that a few years ago Mexico’s government formally complained that too many Mexicans had been repatriated from the U.S. and that the entire country was overwhelmed with demands for housing, jobs and schools. Various Mexican legislators publicly chastised the U.S. for sending illegal immigrants back, explaining that the country could not accommodate the “repatriated.”

The Obama Administration seems to be heeding to Mexico’s request by openly halting the deportation of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. Additionally, the administration has a “backdoor amnesty” plan to legalize millions of undocumented aliens in case Congress doesn’t pass legislation to do it.
