And they wonder why we want to restrict immigration south of the border. Could it be because most of those shithole countries are infested with socialists and people who prefer to live under oppression rather than freedom? And that they'll take that fucked up way of thinking here with them and pollute America with it?

Countries founded by English Protestants tend to end up rich. Those founded by Spanish Catholics tend to end up pour. Same as it ever was. This was all set in motion well befor Marx wrote the Communist Manifesto.

Might as well not even have the revolution of the proletariat then.

Your fabulous utopia has arrived. Lucky for you, it's within driving distance, right across the border. So why are you still here?

Agree, California is utopia. Driving it is manageable if you know what you’re doing.

The other 3/4 of Mexico's populating is on the way. Enjoy.

He’ll take cartel bribes the right way though. Why does Mexico even bother with any elections when the Cartels run the Country and Military anyway.

Maybe the cartels in charge want them to have elections, ever think of that?

Beset by corruption, poverty and endemic violence, Mexican voters sent a message of desperation on Sunday by voting overwhelmingly to make socialist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador their next president. This is bad for the U.S., but even worse for Mexico.

President Trump did the neighborly thing in congratulating Obrador on his victory and pledged to work with him. But in fact Obrador's win bodes ill for future relations. His talking points for the policies he'll pursue once in office sound much more like Venezuela's late socialist dictator Hugo Chavez than, say, Ronald Reagan or Margaret Thatcher.

For starters, Obrador vows to renationalize the oil industry, halt all cooperation with U.S. immigration laws, give amnesty to the drug cartels, boost farm subsidies and remove "multinational" investment in agriculture, encourage mass migration by Mexicans to the U.S., while using remittances from workers in the U.S. to fuel Mexican growth.

What is chintresting, and I kid you not, is that many of your fellow Trump supporters who we know and are connected to my wife on social media have expressed support for, or at the very least interest in, this guy as a new-era populist.

I think you'll find that your nuvo American conservatism isn't as far removed politically from the socialists. You don't want less government. You just want to get more of your guysm in there to get their reads down.
