I live in the west - and the 'humanitarian' stealing of tax payers dollars here to fund the incompetence of Latinos to fund their own health care or learn English is appalling," wrote a blogger who signed as Diana Jorgensen.

No one in the mainstream of Mexican politics seriously contemplates an offensive northward. Mexico City car mechanic Santiago Gomez finds the ad funny...
