By Gene E. Bigler University of the Pacific September 18, 2010 12:00 AMMexico celebrated the bicentennial of its independence Thursday, and it's remarkable how much of that experience it has shared with the United States. Our success as "the first new nation" helped inspire that first grito in 1810 and the costly struggle of Mexican patriots to free themselves from Spanish tyranny. And though the new state started with a monarchy, the appeal of U.S.-like republican and federal institutions soon became a central part of a long, debilitating conflict for control of the government. http://www.recordnet.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20100918/A_OPINION03/9180316/-1/NEWSMAP

Oh wait, that's not what happened. Remember the Alamo.

Who fucking care about Mexico independence? Jose, all your Mexican/Hispanic/Latino/Chicano/Mestizo are left with these things: 1) Overpopulation 2) High Crime 3) Drug Trafficking 4) Obesity 5) Poverty 6) Racism, Racial Segregation 7) Illegal immigration 8) Anchor Babes
