Reply #34: Texas would be better off independent than part of Mexico

[Ignacio Upton]

Even when Mexico still controlled the southwest it was an unstable country. It has a history of dictators, racial polarization just as bad or worse than the United States, and has trouble keeping its own people together. I mentioned in the above thread that they have had sour relationships with Mayan-speaking peoples in the Chiapas province and in the Yucatan province. Mexico is a beautiful country ith nice people, beaches, and rains forests, but in terms of quallity of life and political right, I would not want to live there. I'm optimistic, in that I believe that America will improve after we get rid of the President in Chimp.
