El Voto de Mexico

Cancun and Puerto Vallarta, the places that 95% of Americans visit when going South of the Border, ain't Mexico. You have to either go into the countryside (almost certain death) or into the southern provences like Chiapas (again, don't go there alone). Then there are the isolated indian tribes like the Huichol who have completely recovered from the Spanish and are more numerous than they were when Cortez and the guys arrived. These tribes are a real menace because they hate everybody and every religion. Naturally, all these uneducated tribes live in poverty and are always in a state of near rebellion. All this is compounded by the "revolutionistas" who continually agitate the poor slobs.

Corn is the big deal. It is the holiest of crops (food of the gods), which used to be their main crop but is now a non-sustaining crop due to climate change (not Global Warming). Corn barely grows anywhere in Mexico any more but the commies keep telling the poor slobs that there is plenty of corn in the "norte" that the government won't let them have. This simmering cauldron of resentment and hate is always ready to explode and no amount of NAFTA or anything else will improve the lot of this ignorant horde of people.

No matter who "wins" an election there, the real problem is the uneducated indian tribes.

BTW, corn is the very first crop that was genetically engineered way back in almost pre-history. The original crop, known as teosinte, has been hybridized by the indians over thousands of years til it has become the corn we know today. Had the enironazis been able to influence the Aztecs we wouldn't have no corn at all.
