¡COMO MEXICO NO HAY DOS! The "Real Mexico" from transvestite wrestlers to machete-wielding naked farmers. History, culture, politics, economics, news and the general weirdness that usually floats down from the north.

The Mexfiles has never expected to turn a profit, but personal funds only go so far, and I rack up considerable expenses beyond the time and effort that goes into posting and research. Donations to cover miscellaneous expenses ... telephone and internet connection, subscriptions, spyware and virus checkers...average about 400-500 Pesos a month. Donations are gratefully accepted. Please note that your donations are in Mexican Pesos (13 to 15 pesos to the US Dollar). 500 pesos donation is about 40 US dollars.

What a disturbing, worrisome and shocking situation. Thank you for posting this film
I suddenly just felt dread that privatising “holding” is going to be European response to the very real and growing migration condundrum in the Mediterranean.
It should be noted that DeConcini, who was a TERRIBLE Democrat, worse than Sam Nunn or Mary Landrieu, just an evil rightwing shitbag, and the one most deeply involved in the4 Keating Five S&L crisis chicanery, is on the executive board of CCA. Of course he thinks mass incarcerations are a wonderful thing — it’s how he pays for his retirement mansions and yachts!!!
