In recent years the inflow of Mexican illegals has significantly dwindled and has been replaced by the Central Americans....but, with the possibility of a price control leftist running the show in Mexico, I'm worried we could see a Venezuela style meltdown.

One things for sure, if you're an American oil & gas company that invested in Mexico when Nieto opened up the industry to foreign investment, you're probably fricked. I'd put any new investment on hold.

He actually ran on anti-corruption and repairing Mexico/USA relations.

Might sit back and wait before we figure out what is really going on down there.

AND price controls...that's the most concerning aspect and why I highlighted it.

But is that what Mexicans voted for or the other planks? You can't really single out one thing like that w/out more information/time.

Times are changing. If the CIA has stopped backing the cartels then they will be purged before long.

Time will tell.

In terms of getting elected in countries with extreme inequality and corruption - it appears to be the magic pill.

Expect more migrants escaping a bad economy. If the guy gets some of his policies through.

We need to build the wall ASAP before he puts Mexico in the gutter.

On the positive side this may make companies want to move production back to the US

The fact that the cartels didn't "get him"..makes me question just how anti corruption he is. Since killing politicians that don't agree with them seems to be a hobby of the cartels.

This is why the modern left want America poor and stupid. It’s the fastest, easiest path to socialism.

I don't think the wall is going to stop desperate people and it surely won't stop hungrier, more desperate people.

They mostly kill local politicians/cops. I don't think they've killed on the national level.
