The Corporations, world Bankers, and New World Government,always need cheap labor that is why Latin Governments will be adopted and will say goodbye to Americas Middle-Class! you're not needed!

That's the problem. The U.S. is an imperfect government yet they parade themselves around the world as if they were the only truth out there. No country has the right to tell another how to run things, especially when their solutions involve war, terrorism, propoganda subversion, trade embargos, etc.
