Can anyone name anything this administration, senate and congress is doing correctly to serve and protect the American people? Big business and illegal aliens seem to be the only ones who are benefitting from those presently in office. And those in office are doing very well. If they could'nt stop contaminated food from entering the country before, wait until they have thousands more trucks crossing the border daily when they open the super highway across the border. Should help the odds for the drug cartels too!

I read an article recently where a Mexican citizen (living in Mexico) said he ALWAYS washed his tomatoes, etc in a mixture of bleach and water prior to eating them, due to the fact growers down there use sewage water to water their crops in Mexico. He said he'd never been sick using that precaution. Another precaution would be not to eat them at all.6078

Be careful the Mexican President will make another anti-US speech and get all the illegals here in this country angry at us. They will blame us for their bad economy and not being good neighbors.

Additionally, most Mexicans have no problem drinking the water, either.
