Mexico can solve their own problems

So our esteemed (I use that term loosely, a la Coach Crandall) Mr. Bush has completed his tour of the countries south of us. I refuse to use to term Latin America because that's just a stupid name.So Mr. Bush, at least in words if not in actions, is giving sympathy and support in light of the needs of these struggling countries. Are you serious douchebag? Are you trying to make peace with your demons before you leave office? Here's the deal: Those countries are poor. That sucks for them. Mexico, of all countries, has no reason to bitch. Our city of Rochester is bleeding out the ass because of Mexico's cheap labor. Companies like Kodak have sent THOUSANDS of jobs there because it's chaper to do business there. And it's our fault that they're poor? That just makes no fucking sense. Get your stupid coke sniffing, fat-white-conservative-butt kissing ass back in the country and start focusing on our problems.We import way more than we export, we pollute way more than we clean, and we eat way more than we exercise. Address those things, Mr. President, then you can tell me how badly we should feel for the rest of the world.

Rochester's job hemorrhage is NOT Mexico's problem. It's not Bush's problem. It IS New York's problem and Rochester's problem.

If your business environment is so notoriously unfriendly (tons of organized labor, high corporate taxes, litigation friendly), jobs are going to leave your state. You don't care where they go; that's not the issue. Ask yourself, your headline-mongering Governor and the AFLCIO why your jobs are leaving.

Incidentally, I'm no fan on Mexico. Their foreign (and domestic) policy seems to be "get me the F**k out of here". How about instead of lobbying Congress to let more Mexicans into the US, they FIX MEXICO?!?
