A couple of things are happening here. through emigration, Mexico loses some of its best and brightest, the very ones who might right the corrupt wrongs if they were compelled to stay at home. Shipping home cash instead of principles also contributes to the materialistic decay.

Worse, however, is the fact that through our policies (the failed "War of Drugs") and our continued subsidization of nefarious activity, we contribute to the corruption problem. When horny white males go to Mexico it's to see putas, not historical sites.

We're the arrogant neighbors to the North with the fat wallets, so what we choose to support has much to do with what is provided.
