    .... nobody (again: normal people, not geeks) would spring the extra $$$ for Mac hardware too ...

    What extra $$$?? Did you missed the WWDC Keynote? Mac hardware is no more expensive then similarly configured PC's....I agree with everything else on your post tho...

    They're in CHILE! No internet connection is fast enough to truly get an accurate image of a large nation's media from the outside.

    What do you think about the Mexican government's role in this immigration debate?
    I believe Fox's opinions in this matter (if he even has some) are irrelevant. There is only so much a president can do affect an other's countries decisions.
    From everything I've heard Mexico has some serious problems in this area. My understanding is that 10% of Mexican citizens are living in the US (either legally or not). 12% of the Mexican work force is working in the US (again, legally or not). I have heard estimations that if flow of money from workers and families in the US to their relatives back home in Mexico were to be stopped, the Mexican economy would collapse. According to the figures I can find the underemployment/unemployment rate in Mexico is as high as 25%.
    Correct.
    Do Mexicans blame their government for all this?
    You bet!
    Is there anything of a movement to get it fixed, or is it just easier to try to get the US government to help by taking on people?
    Things seam to be getting better, but with elections coming soon, the government tries to keep a low profile and stops discussing important topics like economy, immigration, etc.
    What do you think of the Pay backed taxes, a fine, and prove you know English and you can become a citizen" proposal?
    The US needs the immigrants' work force, as much as the immigrants need their money.
    Mexico is not kind to those who sneak in, yet the President of the country is asking the US to be kind to those who sneak in.
    Illegal immigrants into Mexico from South and Central America: rob, beat, rape, and do other terrible things unlike the majority of the immigrants in the US witch usually try to live honest lives.
