Banana Republic's. Their ruling classes steal everything they can get their hands on. You have a choice, Banana Republic's that play the game with us, for the most part, or Communist shills like Bolivia, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.

Corruption.

The populce have a lot in common with the middle easterners and slavics, in that they thrive better under a benevolent dictatorship and not self-governing

Because they are lacking the greatest gift our founding fathers gave us. The Bill of Rights.

Mexico isn't much different than we are,imo. Their standard of living has improved greatly over the last 20+ years. Sure, there's corruption but it's just as prevalent here. Central America is a whole other animal.

They each have different stories for rise and decline. The most interesting is Haiti. When I was young back in the 60s it was a big tourist spot. It became a destination for NY gays because the local boys would do anything for money. No one knew about AIDS.
When the place became infected with AIDS in the 70s the tourist industry went to Zero fast.
No tourism = reverting pack to primitive and cutting trees down for wood to cook dinner. The Dominican Republic (sharing the same island) cut off the refugees because they didn't want to go to hell with them.

I was Hermosillo a month ago & I just don't see it. The crime is basically cartel vs cartel vs law enforcement & basically along the border & a couple coastal towns. I can think of a dozen U.S cities within a days drive that are more dangerous than anything I've experienced in Mexico.

That may be true of some of the countries you referenced but certainly not all.

Would you like a shovel? Digging your hole deeper with just your hands has to be tired work.

There isn't a country on this Earth run by brown people that is anywhere near as desirable to live as those run by white Western Europeans. You could import the populations of Honduras to Denmark and vice versa and, within a generation, Honduras would be a great country and Denmark would be a shithole.

Leftist won’t like what you posted but they can’t bring any facts to the table to disprove your statement.

I get your point, but Mexico is run historically by Caucasian descendants of Western Europeans.
