if Mexico elects a socialist president, what effect will that have on the united states?

The US will laugh its ass off as Mexico collapses into socialism.

After more than 70 years of corruption, the new president can not fix everything in six years, is going to take time, but if in December the PRI wins again, who knows? Mexico could go back to another 70 and the things are never going to improve. This president did change some things, but in Mexico Presidents can not be reelected, by law, so hopefully the next keep improving things...

I hope he doesn't win because I think strain between Mexico and our country would be exacerbated on many fronts, from what I hear of his style.\n\nIt is Mexico's business, of course.\n\nI understand he is behind in the polls, though.

Of course it will hurt the USA economy because then the other two signatories of NAFTA would then be able to freely and cheaply trade without using the Americans as a middle man (as is usually the case now). Why would either Canada or Mexico do trade with the USA on certain goods when they could then do without? The USA relies on Canada trading mostly with them and if that changed to be Mexico in any significant amount, it will hurt. And we all know that the USA hates not being at the center of a universe of their own devices and having hands in all the pots. \n\nAs for immigration, I doubt it'll be a problem. Have you ever checked out the security around points of entry for major commercial traffic? Illegals would be a non-issue considering it would still be easier to hop a fence in the desert.\n\nEdit: just as an additional point, while articles I've read make it out to be something Bush is planning, the truth is that the project started planning in the Clinton days. The fact thast both a Democrat and Republican president has been pushing it forward just shows that it won't be stopped.

The only salvation for Mexico's corrupt society is to force the U.S. to take upon itself all the millions of Mexican citizens it cannot find jobs for, homes for, schools for, hospitals for, or prisons for. Mexico looks to the U.S. as a source of remittance income, the hugely valuable drug trade, and a dumping grounds for the societal problems it has no ability, stomach, or interest to tackle as any other respectable nation would.

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.

yes it will, the more people who vote for the candidates who want the illegals out the better the country will be

Oh heck no if that was to happen it would be the ghetto of the USA. I read in an artitical a few week back where Vincente Fox of Mexico was talking to some people of Columbia saying that the Mexicans were going to over rule our government. Don't know how true the source really was but as daddy says talk is cheap.

We have strong institutions, wich have been built with a lot of effort by the mexican people. \n\nIs a shame to be creating this idea of the election of state, of the goverment having the power to buy all of the media, all of the survey companies, and all of our votes.\n\nIf we loose the confidence in our institutions, what will we have? anything. Is it the time for Mexico to become a country leadered by a dictator, since there is not anyone else around to trust? I don't think so, and i hope all of us are smart enougth to understand it.

Diabolically, nuking Mexico will affect the US because of the radiation.  Likewise, it will drive more Mexicans to go north - USA.

Calderon will def. be another Fox.\nObrador would have probably isolated mexico and started some Chavez-Bush relationship which wouldnt be good for anyone.\nI think that Obrador probably did win and that the PAN party did some sort of fraud.\nI wished the PRI would have won.

there are quite a number of communites in Mexico where people from the United States and Canada have retired. Among the more popular places are the following:\nLake Chapala near Guadalajara, San Migual de Allende, and Puerto Vallarta.\n\nThese three locations each have large populations of English speakers. However, be aware that it is likely that the current mayor of Mexico City is likely to be elected the next president of Mexico. He is considered to be very left leaning. Also be aware that in the past Mexico has frozen bank deposits and devalued drastically the peso.

Last one I can think of is the Mexican presidential election this summer.
