Mexicans Reject Bush Visit

March 12, 2007

Merida, Mexico, Mar 12 (Prensa Latina) The strict security measures established in Merida, Mexico proved ineffective Monday, faced with the increasing rejection of US President George W. Bush s visit all over Mexico.

"Yucatan is not the US backyard," read a huge banner students put up at the Plaza de Armas, in actions planned before and during Bush s meeting Monday with Mexican President Felipe Calderon.

It was a tense calm in the Yucatan capital, one that could break anytime, as happened in each of the four plazas Bush has visited in his Latin American tour of Brazil, Uruguay, Colombia, and Guatemala.

.....

Another march Monday is occurring in Jalisco, capital of Guadeljara, convoked by the umbrella organization, Dialogo Nacional.

The Dialogo Nacional press release said the objective is to go to Washington s consulate to repudiate the visit by Bush, who has come "to foster his imperialist project for economic, political, and military expansion."

1. Gosh, everybody loves him like we do.

2. What is wrong with these people?

Don't they appreciate all those businesses we are sending across the border so our corporations can exploit the Mexican people in order for the profits to be greater for the stock holders and CEOs? I mean the American people are giving up their jobs just so the people down there can profit from them. I mean it has nothing to do with the fact that Americans expect a living wage, and even minimum wage in the USA is more than the wages that are paid out to the poor people in the free trade areas set up by the American corporations. It is all done for them. Why can't these people appreciate bush and cheney and what their corporate buddies are doing for them? :sarcasm:

3. "Jalisco, capital of Guadeljara"! Interesting translation.

I'm sure that's supposed to be Jalisco's capital of Guadalajara.

But Dubya should be denounced wherever he appears, including in Texas, capital of Austin.
