NOT ALL MEXICO'S FAULT

If letter writer Phil Beeson, who criticized Mexican President Vicente Fox 
("Mexico, do more," Sunday), would take out his notes from economics, he 
would find what is known as "supply and demand." Drugs pour in from all 
parts of the world, not just Mexico.

Second, why would he want Fox to stop the flow of undocumented immigrants? 
Did San Antonio suddenly find the manpower to substitute for these 
gentlemen, who work hard, day in and day out, for minimum wage?

And why does he say Mexico thinks the United States is a "rich cousin"? 
Does you not understand where America stands at this moment?
