Thanks for doing the merge, Scott. It's not simply a matter of copy and paste, or I would have done it myself instead of tagging the articles. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] 09:53, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
:No worries - I hope the information is correct - I don't know enough about Mexico to tell, but I've fixed a few pretty dodgy country pages today. --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 10:14, 9 April 2007 (EDT)
Are American style tacos really the best representative picture for the Mexico article? [[User:Czolgolz|Czolgolz]] 22:59, 11 April 2007 (EDT)
:Probably not - especially since they're not mentioned in the text. Should they be removed, or have text or caption increased to create some connection? Please do whatever is best, and if you have a better picture, please add it. --[[User:Scott|Scott]] 10:51, 14 April 2007 (EDT)
== Emigration ==
This new paragraph
''== Emigration ==''
''Many Americans (from US) have become angry at tendency for Mexicans to go to the United States, where there is a perception that they are welcome to go and use this healthy economy to make money. Because many aspects of such a culture (such as the common unwillingness to learn or speak English) which are incompatible with American (from US) values, these people are often unwelcome, especially those who immigrate illegally. Groups such as the Minutemen have been active in stopping this influx (sometimes killing them), but it is still a problem with which the US must contend.''
is not in the proper article. This matter concern basically to the United States and ''there'' it should be. Not in an article about Mexico.

I'm prone to disagree. Remember that Conservapedia seeks to illuminate the American perspective, so it makes sense that such a huge issue should at least be mentioned. To suggest otherwise would imply a bias for those who choose to come to this country illegally.

A common unwillingness to learn to speak English? I guess the three years I spent teaching English in Mexico was a fluke. [[User:Czolgolz|Czolgolz]] 20:02, 16 May 2007 (EDT)
I must point out that those were the ones who weren't coming over here. [[User:ATB|ATB]] 10:49, 19 May 2007 (EDT)
== VERY LITTLE ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ==
WHY?
Because, frankly, this site is turning embarrassingly leftist. I'm not sure this is really what was originally intended at all, in fact. The idea that they are unwilling to confront such a huge issue (see my deleted portion of this article) which bluntly threatens the American way of life betrays a soft spot for bleeding heart, socialistic concepts of everybody being exactly the same. Am I the only one who feels this way? [[User:ATB|ATB]] 15:13, 23 May 2007 (EDT)
Are you sure that all illegal aliens are Mexican? Where I live, everyone colmplains about Asians. I believe in northern New England they complain about French Canadians. I think in Florida they complain about the Cubans and Haitians. My impression is that you would like everyone to be exactly the same, i.e. speaking English, same political ideas, same religion, same clothing.[[User:Panini|Panini]] 19:39, 8 July 2007 (EDT)
