It's like watching the Mad Hatter address Congress to have the president of Mexico, a country with abundant natural resources but clearly incapable of governing or sustaining itself, stand at the podium in the U.S. Capitol and arrogantly lecture Americans on laws that we should and should not enact.
Thanks but no thanks.
Mexico's president would use his time to better advantage by staying home and finding ways to (i) rein in his country's extraordinarily violent criminal gangs, (ii) end the widespread corruption that is endemic at every level of government in Mexico, and (iii) free his country's economy so that it can utilize the nation's natural riches for the benefit of its people. Then, perhaps, Mexico could free itself from its dependency on money sent back to the country by emigrants who have fled the country to be able to earn livelihoods.
Except for the Democrat members of the U.S. Congress, who appear eager to replicate Mexico here, Americans have no patience for getting advice about anything from the leader of a potentially rich nation so beset with economic and social problems that it has to export those problems to us.
