There is an unprecedented direct foreign investment by many countries in Mexico! Scheinbaum has promised to continue the programs started by AMLO which is why she enjoyed such a landslide victory!

The Jewish-Mexican thing is nothing new. Sephardim, who had thrived in Moorish Spain, emigrated to New Spain (Mexico) to escape the Spanish Inquisition under the Papist regime. These closet Jews favored remote locations in which to practice their faith, and that is considered a factor in the settlement of New Mexico by Spanish immigrants.

[@RicardoGonzalez77]

I tune in to Breaking Points every week to stay informed about world and American politics, as they have so much influence here in Mexico. I believe you are one of the few platforms that can be trusted. I've always been curious about why you guys never speak about your next-door neighbor. I was happy to see you finally did a piece, but it felt a little biased. I hope you can interview more people for a broader perspective. If I may, here are a few things I think are part of the context and you may find interesting: AMLO is the first leftist president since before WWII; Lazaro Cardenas nationalized the oil industry in 1938. According to Gallup and several other polls, AMLO is the most popular president in history with almost 80% approval. Considering Breaking Points' take on mass media, you might find it interesting that most of the oligarchy and mass media are against AMLO and Dr. Sheinbaum. AMLO made them pay taxes for the first time ever and took away much of the funding they were previously receiving from the government. One of the reasons I love Breaking Points is your critique of politicians' opacity. AMLO holds a daily morning press conference at 7 AM, answering open questions from any media reporter, even from other countries. Breaking Points could send a reporter if you want. He has live debates with mass media reporters and good independent journalists. It's kind of like a podcast, featuring his cabinet giving government updates and addressing specific cases, from dramatic shootings across the country to archaeological discoveries from the construction of the Maya Train in the Gulf peninsula. I'd really love to see you cover the number one trade partner of the US more deeply. Thank you for your work. I will stay tuned as always from Tijuana, Mexico.

[@lbs7774]

As a Mexican I agree. I don't think I ever saw any previous president holding a press conference with open questions. Do you?

[@asel1124]

I'm also mexican, from Monterrey more precisely, I would love that AMLO was REALLY left wing, but he wasn't. In those same press conferences you talk about, how many times did he sidestep specific questions with "Tengo otros datos (I've other data)" That's straight out of the Trump manual. He did nothing to legalize drugs, cancelling the airport in Mexico city without an ounce of evidence it was a corrupt operation, the militarization, cancelling green energy contracts, etc. He did some good things, like increasing vacation days for employees, and increasing minimum wage (although considering inflation in reality minimum wage has decreased), Maya train was a good idea but badly planned and worse execution. That fact that he was better than idiot Peña Nieto and previous cronies doesn't make him good. We have to learn that if someone call themselves left wing doesn't make them so. For our American friends, it's like Featherman when he called himself leftwing.

The problem with crime in mexico has to do with the judicial system. Hopefully the judicial reform solves the problem. Judges releasing criminals. People think is the president or the police. When the criminals get cought, they go free.

[@Crisfer05]

Aside from the judicial system the U.S. is also as frail for the crime in Mexico most of the murders with guns in Mexico are done with guns the US sells with no restrictions and are smuggled by US citizens to Mexico.

[@alfonsoramirezelorriaga1153]

The judges in Mexico have to decide cases on the light of the evidence. They also have to ensure that the due process of law is observed during the trial. If the persecutors are unable to prove that a defendant is guilty or they obtain evidence illegally, then the judges have to release the defendant. In such a case, the prosecutor is to blame not the judge. The federal prosecutors in Mexico work under the President's authority so ultimately it is the President's fault that the police and DAs are so incompetent. Amlo blames the judges because he is unable to accept responsibility for anything that goes wrong with his government.

And even after getting voter id they get scrutinized for having a different skin color, or voting is made difficult in their area. Now if mail in voting is allowed there should be security around that 24/7, with video surveillance and police guarding the areas. The mail in votes have to have a time frame though to make it more transparent and ease up fears. They should only start from September and end mid October and all of those mail in votes should be counted first and shown on tv by November 1 and on election night the race should start from there, no more mail ins should come after that. But same day voting should be like emphasized by declaring November 8 a national holiday, get the day of off, also if employees have to go get registered employers should give them a break or employees should get out early or get the day off to register. The country definitely needs more polling locations, voting shouldn’t take people all day in line. U also need police presence and arrest any person that is harassing the people in line whether they are liberals or conservatives.

they don’t want you, you AND YOUR KIDS would be banned from voting regardless of citizenship, and they can take your property any time they want. you will go to mexican prison for a looong time for being an illegal.

[@kazekagekid]

mexico treats illegals waaay worse than we do, and they don’t want you there

[@kazekagekid]

mexico is far harsher on illegal immigrants. you do not want to be one in mexico. you also do not get voting rights unless your parents and grandparents are citizens, and you cannot truly own property.

Mexico has a strongly patriotic and protectionist left, he said. No one ever says that about the American left.

[@jesuspardinas3874]

Maybe because circumstances are different, in Mexico the left is very protectionist because they/we dont have much to give, so whatever they/we have should be used to benefit the native population, not to give away to foreign corporations. As far as being patriotic, only idiots would say the american left isnt patriotic, fox viewers in other words.

[@pcortes14]

Im from Guanajuato Mexico, where the PAN political party has governed for 30 years. Many people have left the state towards the USA looking for better job opportunities. The cities are not doing better than 20 years ago, water supply is becoming a huge issue, the only places where you can certainly say have been taken care of are those touristic places such as San Miguel de Allende, you’ll find many retired Americans living there and perhaps the capital, Guanajuato city. The PAN governor in Guanajuato city has even made stupid comments such as “we’ll try to limit or look for ways to limit the incoming tourists that do not have much money to stay a couple nights here or spend in restaurants and entertainment, we want people to come in and spend their money and if you don’t have any we’d rather you’re not using space here.”

Great breakdown of the situation in Mexico

[@TheCatbert2010]

The streets of Mexico City are paved with waterproof concrete and asphalt, people throw garbage and the drains are clogged, so the streets flood. The water does not penetrate and does not reach the natural deposits What is needed is to remove all the concrete and replace it with permeable concrete and fine the people who litter, sentence them to pick up the trash. There is also a lack of public trash cans. The public plumbing has not been maintained in 70 years. The entire infrastructure has to be renovated and updated. Same with the sewage system. There is also a problem that concessions are given to buildings and shopping centers that consume a lot of water without taking into account the neighbors and their homes. Corruption.

[@down-to-earth-mystery-school]

Yep, I live in Chihuahua City and our water gets turned off at 9am every day, but the shopping center by the fancy mall and the golf course never have water restrictions. Income inequality is wide here, similar to the US.

[@arnulfoalvarez1743]

I have to disagree, in the past people threw trash everywhere, but at the present time the cities are kept clean, even the magical towns, probably because of the tourist industry, but all in all they are pretty clean.
