we can only Speculate ...?
We can, however, employ "informed" speculation!! Twice: in its short History, Independent Mexico has experienced Revolution! Their first one, ending in 1821, ABOLISHED SLAVERY -- 44 Years before the United States!! In 1844, the United States, with highly questionable "Justification"; INVADED Mexico (some think Dick-n'-Dubya patterned their Iraq-Caper on these actions of President Polk).
A better speculation would be that our Leaders, in both instances, thought they had an "easy mark"??
Mexico is really a very beautiful and peaceful place, once you get past their "Government(s) --( there are 31 States and one Federal District: (weakness and corruption are systemic); you can see the "hand" of the United States and various European Governments, in their troubled history. Their people live too far from each other, and their Leaders live to close to the United States, and, do the "bidding" of U.S. interests. Read the History! You can start with Bernard De Voto's The Year of Decision 1846. Do this before you VOTE in 2016?? Pay particular attention to the back-room dealing between Polk's Administration and Santa Ana.
Stay Vigilant! Don't be surprised, to discover the true logic behind Trump's Make America Great -- Again?? The Old TV HOST may be looking for a "Come-back" --, on a Grander Stage"?? Don't fall for the old "Corruption and Drugs" Argument, either: that's like blaming young Black and Brown inmates in our Prisons for all of the Guns and Drugs that are shipped into our Cities and Small Towns by Big Money Interests!! Mordita is a delusion of grandeur , existing among the poor and dispossessed (in both countries) -- but they did NOT create corruption; any more than they PROFIT from it!! Republicans have made the Cubans in our Country, distinct; in their special immunity from our Immigration Laws. Should we be surprised how readily the Repoobs use them against the MEXICANS??
