Do you think the Helms-Burton  law should be applied in Mexico?

Not at all, it shouldn't.\nIn fact, if it's been condemned by European countries, and Canada, Mexico shouln't have any other position about it.\nAltougth, we have to be very carefully about dealing on this matters because the dificulties on the Mexico-USA relation have been having on the last times.

I would venture to say that if the service is performed IN Mexico as you say, then YES, VAT is applicable.

I know what you mean and you have a point there but..... Is not up to the USA government or up to the American Corporation to establish new laws in Mexico. It's up to the Mexican government to make their laws be obeyed and create new laws for the benefits of their citizens. The problem is not the companies that goes to Mexico looking for cheap labor and pay the lease of money or benefits to the workers, the problem is the Mexican government that don't give a shit for their citizens. They are the big problem and they are so inept and corrupted that they rather send their citizens to the USA illegally than to creat new laws for the better of their citizens. Mexico is what the government and the Mexican people wanted to be,,,, what you see.

I do.  It's all part of NAFTA.  They have big plans for 4 football-fields-wide  type highways from Mexico to Canada.  I understand a Spanish company got the contract.  It's all part of the plan to eliminate the middle class in America called class warfare and part of the New World Order.\n\nWhat Ethan said.

I not only think this should be state mandated....BUT.....federally as well.\nNo one would risk life and limb for employment if the EMPLOYER wasn't at the other side hanging a wad of bills.\nThat BEING SAID.....(cuz I have to).....make Mexico amazing (it can be....given better leadership) and stop the flow now.....BUT....grant amnesty to those who have made roots and are a vital part of America as we know it.\n\nThe End.....Peace.

Could go either way...It will be interesting to find out.  The law would just make it legal to possess "small" amounts so dealers would still be prosecuted...I think the point was so they could focus their attention on the dealers.  Like, aiming higher on the food chain.  I think if it affects drugs crossing the border, the only difference would be in very small amounts...just the idiots that have it on them for "personal use".

yes, but president fox  (of mexico) should pay 1/2 the bill and the illegal employer the other 1/2, plus fines.  let's recoup some money for our needy (children, elderly, ill.) make a solid statement.  or it will continue to happen, just more covert.

I think it summarizes the current situation quite nicely.  Unfortunately, at the rate the things are going, if there is an amnesty, it will result with more than half of population of Mexico moving to the US, which will undoubtedly destroy this country.  So, to use your analogy, the parasites will consume the host and take over it to basically turn it into a province of Mexico.  Throughout history, no country that did not protect its borders has ever survived.

As long as you are in mexico...

absolutely, Mexico is a good example.  Where a few super rich control the government.  Have drug lords controling the rest.  Keep the populous in abject poverty.  The brutality is over whelming.  The masses could over throw the few and take back there government and establish one that isn't so corrupt.  That would benefit the people.\nimmigrateing to America while understandable is hardly the answer.

I hate to be the one to break this to you but China's infrastructure is vastly different to that of the United States, saying that Communist China's government infrastructure is even remotely similar to the United States is absurd.\n\nMexico should not try to merely copy the infrastructure of the US mainly because the variables and situation is different. Mexico's plan should be to address the problems of the system in Mexico, even if that means you get outside solicitation in regards on how the system can be improved, maybe some demographic studies and forums be conducted to discover the problems in the existing system and work from there.

I doubt it. Investment in Mexico by US citizens is strictly limited. Mexico dose not want immigration from the US and has resisted any measures to affect the drug trade significantly.  La mordida still rules in Mexico. In fact, native Mexicans look down on their American Mexicans cousins. Ironic isn't it.

I agree with you.  Mexico has programs set up to assist their citizens in coming over the border.  If we cut off all assistance to their country I bet you'd see a different philosophy.  They have grown too accustomed to our dollars.  If we charged a percentage to those wiring money back to Mexico....you'd see changes.  If we tried to charge them for returning their nationals, I think you'd see mobbing in the streets.\n\nActually there are military in Mexico who protect the drug cartel that makes the runs between our countries.....and they are well armed and very dangerous.\n\nWe are dealing with people who want us to play by the "nice" rules while they do as they please....and apparently, get away with it.

it has less to do with the government than it does with big business and citizens. if mexicans can find higher paying wages in the US and get the US dollar which is stronger than the Peso, why would you care if big companies were in Mexico. Of course, there are plenty of Mexicans that would love a jobe in their home  country even though it pays less than the same job in the US. Thats where big biz comes in. The cost of hiring and maintaining a work force in Mexico is significantly higher than in China because China has so many fewer laws preventing abuse. In addition, you can pay workers in China far less because they can't hop the border into the US and find the same job that pays double. Make sense!

could be in less than 30 years if the trend does not change. They are human the same as us but need to follow the rules. I favor mining the borders and putting signs up to keep out or else tough sh--. We might as well take over Mexico and get things organized but of course that would mean we have to be organized.  The turmoil in this country has been caused by too many people stuffing their pockets instead of doing the jobs they were elected to do. That includes both parties.

My best guess would be that Canada and Mexico at least will listen, rather than dictate. Wasn't a bad question until you added the last part, bigger fences don't make for better neighbours, the Canada/U.S. border has been an example for the rest of the world to strive for. The Mexico/U.S. border could be as well if current laws were enforced. 'Nuff said

I know people personally who are considered medically disabled and unable to work.  The insurance company they paid into their whole lives dropped them because they supposedly reached their "life cap."  They moved to Mexico to be able to afford the healthcare and medications they need just to survive on a daily basis.  I would do the same in their position.  We should be free to go wherever we need to on God's earth to not just survive but THRIVE.  If that place changes from the USA to Mexico for me tomorrow I'll go in a heartbeat.
