Joe Biden speaks mostly truth about Mexico, immigration

For forgotten reasons, this site isn't exactly a cheerleader for Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE), but his latest statements [1] seem to go a bit beyond the usual "pretend to talk kinda tough but actually promise nothing" blather:
"Mexico is a country that is an erstwhile democracy where they have the greatest disparity of wealth," Biden said. "It is one of the wealthiest countries in the hemisphere and because of a corrupt system that exists in Mexico, there is the 1 percent of the population at the top, a very small middle class and the rest is abject poverty."

Unless the political dynamics change in Mexico and U.S. employers who hire illegal immigrants are punished, illegal immigration won't stop. "All the rest is window dressing," he said.

An even bigger problem are illegal drugs "coming up through corrupt Mexico," he said. "People are driving across that border with tons, tons — hear me — tons of everything from byproducts for methamphetamines, to cocaine, to heroine [sic]."
Whatever Biden's other issues, at the very least, you will never, ever, ever, hear such truthful statements come from the Mund of California's Rove/Kennedy/Mexico-linked governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Of course, the bigger test for Biden will come after Mexico partisans such as MALDEF and the NCLR have had the chance to write their press releases. Will he fold, or will he give them the (rhetorical) finger? Let's wait and find out.

the word culture is so right on! Gary understands why but the fact is the deal is done, the North American union is coming and if you get that point of fact its all understood by any who want to see.

Biden is just doing his thing! most are owned, the fact is by 2020 this non nation will become a mexican hell on earth.
a people make a culture a people can kill a nation, and in the end game death is what will come of all this bull. by the way biden like many others know full well when the third world monkeys take over our so called government guys like biden will not have power of any-kind, that is why he and many others are now talking out against this come outrage that is the north american union.

Biden is a smart guy, and you would think he'd understand the defintion of the word "erstwhile": former. Mexico has never been a real democracy, although even if it had been, it's doubtful they would be any better off. The problem isn't the political system, it's the culture.
