The problems created by waves of illegal
immigrants leaving Mexico for the United States
are very real. Every succeeding year sees an
increase in the amount of those caught while

wealthy developing country, with mineral resources

million people and a rich culture dating back to
the 1500 s, need to have economic and social
difficulties that force such a large exodus every

Though not really considered to be a Latin
American country, Mexico does share a similar
history with other Latin American countries.
Looking back over the last century, it would be
fair to say that Mexico has been a typical Latin
American country in the sense that it has had a
history of corruption, instability, and has
beholden more to foreigners than the will of its
people. Like many other Latin American countries,
corruption was an aspect in Mexico's history as
well. The Diaz era, which last...

effectively compete on the foreign market. Even
the United States, with its vast resources, can

thought that the majority of illegal aliens
