I’m not sure about Obama’s speech, but this ‘Mexico Rising’ meme that has taken hold in our press has nothing to do with reporting the news, but is instead driven by domestic politics. It’s about making Joe Public think that Mexicans are solid people, they’ve got their act together, so why not let in more of these hard-working souls?

In truth of course, Steve’s ‘Mediocre Mexico’ meme is much more accurate. Mexico has been a low-innovation, middle-income country for generations, and a 4% growth rate isn’t going to change that.

Mexico is actually losing ground to her peers (other large middle-income economies). At the start of the new millennium, the Mexican economy was larger than those of Russia or Brazil. Now, both are almost twice as large as Mexico’s. Mexico hasn’t keep up with Turkey and Poland either. H*ll, only a generation ago, South Korea was a middle-income country; they’ve long since left Mexico in the dust. Who hasn’t out-paced Mexico? South Africa? war-torn Iraq (probably too small to qualify anyways)?

We have heard of the American Dream. Why is there no Mexican Dream, other than for Mexicans to move to the USA? Same thing can be said about any other Latin nation.

I am with the Steve Sailer types who have long argued that the USA is superior not just because of our system, but because of our population demographics. Liberals make excuses and say the other guys are poor because of their system, and that they are only coming to the USA for economic opportunity. They say every one is equal and that we are just lucky to have such great real estate and effective political and economic institutions.

On real estate we can't do much about it. But I think many parts of Latin America have better land, climate and resources. So that should be an advantage to them.

On the other issues, political and economic, why don't they just copy our f**cking Constitution? They have had 200 years to watch us. Just copy our laws. Then they will have the same Constitution and Bill of Rights we do. Once this is done, they should be able to recreate the political and economic ecosystem that we have, assuming liberals are correct and all people are the same.

Of course you and I know this won't and can't happen. Even if it did, Latin America would still fail. After all, it is demographics isn't it?

He's blaming the USA, of which he's the president, for the violence Mexicans are committing. They've got gun laws there too, which don't seem to work any better than they do here. Mexican cartels massacre each other and we're to blame. Need we mention the 'fast and furious' scandal for which no one seems to have been held to account? It's the usual pattern: blame someone other than the one actually doing something bad. Who is the speechwriter, Rev Wright?

"Help us mulattos, Jews, and gays to permanently destroy white conservative America. Illegal aliens are not the real threat to New America. If anything, they are welcome as the builders of the New America where the proper role of white Americans will be to serve as second-class citizens taking orders from globalist Jews, kneeling down before blacks, bending over for gays, and making way for more non-white immigrantion, legal and illegal, to conquer and defeat them totally. I don't consider conservative whites as my fellow Americans but as the enemy, and I will use all my power to help you help me defeat them utterly and forever."

I guess if he'd blown Nieto on stage, that would've been marginally less disgraceful than this speech.

Were time-traveling Americans the root cause of Aztec sacrifice?

Yes, I was screaming to anyone who'd listen a few years ago when Mexicans and their progressive idiot "friends" were marching through the streets of American cities, marching with Mexican flags waving, wanting "emancipation" and "economic freedom."

Why the hell weren't the same people marching on MEXICO CITY for those things? And why the hell was there no one from our side telling them to get on busses and caravan to Mexico City to do so?

Actually, he said "Viva LAS Estados Unidos." Then just mumbled what sounds like " ...bendingum."

PRI and Peña Nieto are driving the spin. They've cut off narco intel sharing with the U.S. and ordered their press to stop reporting the drug violence. And Obama goes down there and cheers them on!

I'd love it if Obama's visa expired and the Mexicans deported his ass.

This must be a unique occurrence in world politics: an elected leader concocts a blood libel against his own people.

Who does that?

The problem, of course, is that as his mother told step-dad Lolo, [we're] not his people. Eric Holder seconds the sentiment.

I was walking around in the Palacio Nacional the day after that speech. Through security bars, I saw the room where the speech was given.

One nondescript charwoman was slowly sweeping up in there.

A little guy came in to horse around with her. He left.

In the office courtyards to the side, they had the waterhoses out, washing down the floor (a big activity everywhere in Mexico).

This is the true picture of how the world works. The elite lets off verbal gas for the microphones. Afterward, the regular people - who neither heard the speech nor care - clean up the mess.

I wandered pensively toward a group of tourists hundreds of yards away.

They were preoccupied with admiring the Diego Rivera mural. Lots of scenes of Spaniards murdering the natives.

Everyone who follows politics here says Nieto is the biggest dummy who ever failed to chew gum and walk at the same time. They pronounce his name Pena Nieto, not Peña Nieto (Pena = pain, embarrassment). Unfortunately, these same people are wide-eyed with admiration over Obama's speech-making abilities. "If only OUR president were so intelligent," is the general saying among these people.

>'Mediocre Mexico' meme is much more accurate.<

An even better way to put it is that Mexico isn't the world capital of Type-A personalities. It isn't meant to be that. Remember that Lake Wobegon isn't possible: everyone cannot be above average. Here, you do your job, you concentrate on your family, you relax - and that's all.

Mixing North America and Mexico is an unnatural disaster for both sides. Good fences make good neighbors. Whatever happened to that wisdom? Answer: it was replaced by the new wisdom - the moral primacy of a hell-for-leather scramble for dizzy money, mostly among a tiny number of people, Forbes billionaire types. Or maybe that's the oldest wisdom, as Rivera's mural testifies.

What kind of people applaud that their own people are immigrating or that other countries are making it easier for the immigrants to become citizens elsewhere?

Oh yeah--countries who want to get rid of their poverty.

Mr. Anon: Spot on. Let's do a thought experiment. The population of the Netherlands is about sixteen million, the population of Haiti is about ten million. Let's swap them, in toto. Round up all the Dutch, move them to Haiti, round up all the Haitians, move them to the Netherlands.

In ten years, which country would you rather visit? Dutch Haiti, or the Haitian Netherlands?

" Liberals make excuses and say the other guys are poor because of their system..."
No. Leftists, they're not Liberal at all, think that other countries are poor because we're rich.They want to rectify this problem by bringing people from poor countries here, which will magically make them as rich as us. This will also have the benefit, to Leftists, of destroying white anglophone culture.

"We're also seeing a Mexico that’s creating new prosperity...And, in fact, I see a Mexico that’s lifted millions of people from poverty."

In other words, the government did it. Their increased wealth is not the result of individual initiative, but of the welfare state.
