It's like when the president criticized our immigration laws, yet ignored their own horrific killings, robberies, rapes, abductions at their own southern border by their own border patrol.

Just a bunch of hypocrites

Well quite frankly you must live in a cave or in hiding partner. We have a 1.2% growth in our economy while Mexico had 4.3% last year, and will end the year at 5% and we will be barely at 1.6%. Their unemployment is only 6.3% while ours is around 12.5% but actually 18.7% if you count the people no longer recieving unemployment assitance or people that gave up looking. The foreclosure rate equals Spain, and greece, and we are mired in 15 Trillion in debt. We are 27th. place in education. 54 th place in infant mortality, our health care system is about as good as Ugandas, and we have to import brains from overseas to fill jobs that we do not have the skills to get, 60% of our high school kids cannot tell you who gave the Gettysburg address,Our bond rating just got even lowered by the world bank and now Mexico has better credit, a stronger currency and has no external debt, we import more coke, and hard drugs than any other country in the world, and just in Chicago alone last year 550 people were killed by guns and you call Mexico a third world cesspool? We have lost our moral compass, when and if we get it back then we will begin the long road to recovery so lets stop kissing our own ass because we are not what we used to be and if we continue in this path we will end up like Greece. Just the facts, it hurts does it not?

Subject: Makeshift Memorial Shriners in Aurora, Colorado

"Before you go there to show how much you care…”

I am sincerely sorry about the recent murders of twelve and the wounding of 58 innocent victims at that midnight “Batman” movie inside that cinema in Aurora, Colorado, that were committed by that single deranged strange gunman; but I shall not join the outsider makeshift-memorial shriners and whiners, whom I detest for competing in this latest compassion contest. I refuse to boohoo or otherwise try to prove that I am more caring, sensitive and compassionate than you, or have a need to participate, pose, perform and believably grieve and compete in public performance art. I have never flown away from home, or traveled near or far in a bus or a car, to take advantage of such or similar bad sad tragic accidents, events or incidents; unlike the gun-grabbing nagging-nanny members of The Brady Bunch and The Bloomturd Herd. They and their other professional angry, empathetic sympathetic sisters and brothers never let a good sensational sad scary (but statistically-insignificant) incident/story go to waste.
With obvious and hidden personal and political agendas, these political-PAC-rat activists, demonstrators, marchers and whining “shriners” swarm and show up to participate, perform, pose and promote themselves with free publicity. During the past thirty-plus years [between the birth of cable TV and the deaths of Princess Diana and Trayvon Martin, including the shootings, killings and woundings at Columbine High, Virginia Tech and Tucson, Arizona], I have seen a predictable repetitive pattern of public performance art; people competing in compassion contests for attention and publicity, enabled and encouraged by competitive media people who need them and seek them. Have we experienced and felt sufficient and suitable guilt and regrets over the shooting and wounding of Gabrielle Giffords, yet?
I am sure that, during the aftermath of such and similar bad sad tragic events, many if not most of the local folks have thought, asked or said, "Who are these people and what are they doing here?" Many of them no doubt hope and pray that such and similar strangers go and stay away; especially the people who have to clean up the messes after outsiders and strangers quit grieving and start leaving.
If you really need to, have to, or want to go to Aurora, Colorado, to show those grieving family members and friends (and media people) that you really care: You ought to show up and handle a candle with a teddy bear, and let a balloon loose into the air. Well, Leon Harrison’s "GENUINE $19.99 MAKESHIFT SHRINE" includes everything that you need to believably grieve! Now, you too can show up with your "GENUINE $19.99 MAKESHIFT SHRINE" time after time! Then, you too can compete with the best, during this and any future compassion or patriotism contests! I guarantee that you will be seen on the front page and the TV screen!

So what does this growth do for the people here. Still minimum wage of $5.50 per day. If you are grow 4.3% and your people are starving in big numbers what is the point. That is like a pyramid scheme. A $500,000 dollar new company grew 1,000% last year. While the old reliable pyramid company only grew 15% that had assets of $15 billion dollars. The difference it is easy to grow more in an economy where everything is behind the rest of the developed nations and trying to catch up. So at what point is the economy so good that illegals will all return to Mexico. It must be those Maquilardoras that are doing it for Mexico that pay a whopping $70 -$80 per week. Count me in!

Get on down here and start to work. With figures like that what in the heck are you waiting for? Why are you in Texas. Yee-haa. A real mecca here in Mexico for getting rich as far as I can see by your figures.

Hey "Dallas Texas" Bill, why don't you look up Mexico's GDP and then compare it to that of the United States.

Better yet, take a look at the number of Mexicans that have no concept of modern sewer systems that allow you to flush your used toilet paper, rather than just tossing it in a "waste basket".

While you're at it, maybe you can tell us all about the engineering, medical, and technological discoveries, inventions, and advancements that Mexico, and/or its citizens have given the world during the last 200 years.

Now compare this list of Mexican discoveries, inventions, and advancements to those of the United States and/or its citizens...

If what you say is true Bill, then why are so many very poorly educated Mexicans sneaking into the United States? And why do Mexicans here in the U.S. have the second greatest high school dropout rate in the country?

If Mexico is such an economic powerhouse, then why isn't it paying the U.S. back for all the money we've loaned them during the last 40 years?

Like "Concerned" says, a 4.5% increase of zip still nets you...now get this...zip.

Bohart you are indeed a dip shit! People are dieing in Mexico because of our own instatiable thirst for drugs here in the US. The lure of money by illegal drugs create cartels, if there were no demand there would be no cartels. They are fighting each other for turf, and the Mexican Army is killing the rest, but until we stop funneling guns via fast and furious, and buying coke at unprecedented levels we too are responsible..........you dipshit!

Mexico had astronomy, a calander that is more exact than ours today. Cities with running water and sewars. Drugs that were used to operate on people far before modern medicine, buildings that were bigger than anything in Europe 2000 years ago! A mathematical system with 9 as the common denominator equal to calculus, Astronomy that predicts solar movments and climate changes. There was no deseses until the Euopeans brought it along with other sexual transmited deseases. The first blood transfusion was made by the mayans more than 2000 years ago and only performed it if the recipient had a brother or sister doner and they perfromed the first tumor extraction from the brain when people in europe were running around naked. Every dog has it s day, ours is eclipsing unfortunately!

You only think it is a one way track. You really believe all this stuff. You really believe if the USA was not selling guns they could not get them elsewhere. Just one of the benefits of having Mexico as the Southern neighbor. It is created because people are poor and starving. Look at all the guns in Africa that are killing people. They did not have to but them from the USA. They could but there were other countries closer that sold them.

Ask Mexico to curb their thirst for drugs first. I live here and they are out of control. Since Mexicans are the ones being killed have them lead the way and quit using drugs first. There would still be cartels because they would still sell them in Mexico and to other countries. I was a businessman in the USA and I sure could have upped my business in my area but just knocking off my competition. It is really about money is it not? They will steal and sell and extort, kidnap and do whatever they need to to make a buck. The rest of those on my list have to do with something other then drugs. It is money and greed.

You must be a Mexican living in the USA because that is what everybody does when they have a problem. They blame it on someone else. I had a brother that could not keep a job. But it was not his fault. It was everyone else that created his problems. He always blamed it on them.

After A while you get tired of being around people that blame it on something or someone else.

Daily Horoscope for May 25

Taurus

Try hard not to let money or possessions come between you and a friend today, unless it's over something that has got to be sorted out before it goes any further. For instance, if someone owes you money and has consistently failed to pay it back, this is a good day for mentioning it to them and finding out what's going on. If necessary, you may have to be quite vehement.
