Mexican Presidential Candidates Promise More Jobs In Mexico ...
Vincente Fox has been campaigning for his party here in America by trying to get the US to keep slacked off on immigration reform.
However, the actual candidates have been running partially on how to provide jobs in Mexico -- so that Mexican citizens don't have to immigrate to the US. Well, that and stopping corruption. The election is to be held July 2nd, and it's going to be close:

From an American's viewpoint, I think it's a little encouraging that at least the presidential candidates are promising to try to provide more jobs in Mexico, which would solve some problems for all of us. If they really mean it. This time.

From AP News: MEXICO CITY -
The front-runners in Mexico's tight presidential race tried to break ahead Tuesday in the second and final televised debate before elections, trading personal jabs and promising to bring jobs to Mexico so that millions won't have to seek better lives in the United States.There are rumors that Obrador has been receiving funds from Hugo Chavez. Since Obrador is basically socialist, and since Hugo's been trying to extend his leftist influence throughout Latin America, the election of Obrador would not be a terrific thing. There has, in fact, been some opposition to the Chavista goals for expansion.
Known for his fiery and off-the-cuff remarks, leftist Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador remained almost timid in the face of repeated attacks by conservative Felipe Calderon of President Vicente Fox's National Action Party. But he closed the debate by accusing Calderon's brother-in-law of getting contracts in the energy sector while Calderon served as energy secretary under Fox.
"My proposal is for three things: Not to lie. Not to rob. Not to betray the people," he said (actually, not bad advice for any politician -- FB)
