With so many murders in Mexico, the government should be developing a vaccine for lead poisoning.
Agreed.
A REALLY great way to increase tourism to such a truly fascinating and beautiful country would be to DRAMATICALLY reduce drug-related murders (or how about just murders in general...) and give potential tourists AND citizens a valid reason to feeling safe and secure.
Unlikely, I know...
Oops. To "FEEL" secure.
Double oops. "To FEEL safe and secure." My goodness.
Note to self: More sleep, less Newsvine...
They live in filth and wonder how this could happen.
Who cares? Mexicans cant do anything right except cross the border and take advantage. This is about the most ridiculous story. It was over hyped by the media to distract us from what Obame was doing. Such as bowing to other heads of staes. Maybe we should give them all our antivirus that we paid for and didn't need. They take anything they can get the honourless nation.
Nagurski, your evident lack of education is a shame. No one deserves to be in your condition, I feel pity, hopefully you will have access to some books soon.

First get your head out of the hole in your lower back. Second, learn to write, at least the name of your much hated president. Third: You are nothing more than a racist ignorant.
Mexicans are incredibly hard working people, Some come to the US illegally because there is very little space to do it legally, and they do jobs that few Americans want to do.

"First get your head out of the hole in your lower back. Second, learn to write, at least the name of your much hated president. Third: You are nothing more than a racist ignorant."
Typical racist blaming others for being racist.
"Mexicans are incredibly hard working people, Some come to the US illegally because there is very little space to do it legally, and they do jobs that few Americans want to do."
Yes, 70% are hard working. The other 30% are born criminals. That is why our prisons are bulging at the seams. However, if they want to be Americans there are channels they can work thru to do that. Anyone who doesn't understand that has head in their own dark.

Racism is basically doing blanket qualifications on people based on their looks, origin, religion, sexuality, etc. Nagurski's comment falls into this definition completely. Now tell me, in what way mine comes to be racist? I am qualifying one individual not every individual in his group.
Now, stating that 30% of Mexicans are born criminals is like saying that 30% of Germans are born Nazis... Please! How many Mexicans do you know or are your opinions based only on TV News? (sure if it bleeds it leads... If it thinks it stinks).
on your second comment: Yes there are legal ways to enter the USA, I agree with you completely, but getting a working visa to do the same jobs done now is a little less than impossible. There are many visas for qualified individuals, not for agrarian workers. Moreover, having a working visa would force the people that hire illegals to pay them reasonable wages instead of the small change they pay now. There are many more interests into illegal immigration than the political spin between Republicans and Democrats with loud tones of Tea Partiers in between.
The economy hurt their tourism, not swine flu, get real! The economy has hurt everyone's tourism!
Ha, this is the funniest thing I've read all day. I told everyone that this was a scam by the pharmaceutical companies. They made millions injecting people with saline at $20 a pop. First it was SARS then Killer bees and then the bird flu and now Swine flu. All these things that were going to kill millions and nothing. I say don't say anything until you have a 1% mortality rate, then start with the hysteria. I feel sorry for those people standing in line for hours just for a shot of salty water.

Maybe we should ban swine.

Maybe we should ban foreign swine.
Now we have a new airborne fungus amungus! At this rate we will suffer a die off caused by bull@!$%#us extremus.
