Reply #8: Very interesting.

Thanks for putting all this info together. I've been hearing vague rumors of oil trouble in Mexico, but I didn't realize it was this bad or this urgent.

"The (Cantarell) field will probably lose over 75% of its production capacity by the end of 2008."? And talk of PEMEX's pending bankruptcy? Wow. That is astonishing and it will definitely be devastating to Mexico. With one out of every ten Mexicans already living in the USA, I can't imagine what will happen if many more start pouring in as economic refugees. Especially as there is currently so much anti-immigrant sentiment in the USA.

I guess this would be a logical explanation for the building of the various detention centers around the USA. Still, why do they have to look like Nazi prison camps? Can't we handle economic refugees humanely?

Frightening times are ahead - on a lot of fronts.
