Or as AMLO might say, a "frontera de balacera."

#6 It is also the first time in recent history where rival candidates have conceded so early after the initial results were cast.

Is it me or is there a whiff of Tony Soprano here?

#7 Soros have anything to say about this?

Bring back the troops from Germany and put them on the border. Shoot any "coyotes" you find. Shoot any Mexican police that try to protect them.

#8 Mexico has needed a revolution for some time. They are full of mineral wealth and hard workers and bad government. I don't think this guy will be any better but something needs to change.

(1) A wall to prevent the waves of refugees likely if things go super-bad. (2) Slam employers that pays anyone below minimum wage. (3) Tax remittances.

#10 Is it me or is there a whiff of Tony Soprano here?
