Women constitute forty-five percent of the Mexican "migrants" in the United States
El Sol de Mexico (Ciudad de México) 3-8-10
Fortyfive percent of the Mexicans in the United States are women who live in very poor conditions, according to a Federal Government official.
Nearly 5.3 million Mexican women live in the United States without papers. California and Texas are the preferred states for establishing residence with Illinois, Georgia, New York, Colorado, Florida, Nevada and Washington.
Of the Mexicans more than 24 years old, 60% do not have upper level
education (above 6th grade) while 13% of migrants from other regions of the world and 10% of U.S. citizens have the same level of education. Seven percent of Mexicans in the USA have university educations.
The government points to the international economic crisis impacting Mexican "migrants" with unemployment at 14.6 percent. Some 63% of the "migrants" are employed in maintenance, cleaning, food preparation, agriculture and manufacturing, while 13% are executives, professionals and technicians.
Less than 98% of the Mexicans in the United States take root and settle as aliens.
(Translator's note: The Mexican government and the Mexican media make no distinction as to legality and illegality of its citizens in the USA. So, the above statement; "Less than 98% of the Mexicans in the USA take root and settle as aliens", also means, "A little more than 2% of Mexicans who migrate legally and illegally to the United States ever intend to return to Mexico".)
A common theme among the major newspapers in Mexico today has to do with the inequality and abuse of women, unequal pay, domestic violence and disparity in society.

Narco Messages Appear
Diario de Guadalajara (Guadalajara) 3-8-10
More than a dozen written messages were posted around the city of
Guadalajara to President Felipe Calderon. They were written in black
printed letters and posted in various public places. The message:
"Mr. President Felipe Calderon:
With all the respect you merit, we ask you to permit us to help you stop the cancer of the country. The poison you use to combat the poison will be the same poison we use against them.
Withdraw all Army and Marines.
Sincerely,
(Signed)
Cartels United Against the Zetas"
The messages seem to indicate that the investigative agencies of the state
should know that the cartels like the Sinaloa, Del Golfo and La Familia
Michoacán have made the decision to unite and to end the presence of Los Zetas in the country.

(Translator's note: The lifeblood of Mexico could easily become the tourist industry. The pristine beaches, abundance of game fish, clean
accommodations, good food and friendly people attract tourists from all over the world. However, the Napoleonic justice system, corrupt officials, crooked businessmen and the narcotics related violence have greatly diminished tourism in the last decade. The tourist potential of Mexico is world renowned but remains largely undeveloped due to myopic leadership and corrupt officials.)
