  • Mexico's government has to go, it really has to go. Google "Megamerge Dissolution Solution" for the way.

  • En diciembre de 2004 Martín Barrios fue salvajemente golpeado por actividades que realiza a favor de los derechos laborales. A principios de 2006 fue arbitrariamente encarcelado en Puebla. Ahora Barrios Hernández fue demandado por José Méndez Gómez, propietario de la maquiladora textil Just Quality por "delincuencia organizada, pandillerismo y amenazas". Trabajadores, la mayoría mujeres, exijen respeto a sus derechos laborales.

  • Boycott mexican jeans and it will swiftly change. Money talks.

  • Business is business. The earth doesn't matter. TV sets and luxury goods are more important.

  • YIKES!!!! Absolutely how i envision factory life in Mexico, polluted,poor pay,sweat shops with little to NO Gov control....No wonder our Hospitals care for so many children with horrible diseases coming from Mex. All that they ingest, air, water, food...is freaken CONTAMINATED!!

  • Well, this administration has only had 1 year, and they have A LOT, I mean, A LOT of cleaning up to do. Clean water is one of many concerns, albeit an important one. I'm sure with enough pressure, this administration will act. But, I am, of course, in America, I have no idea how to pressure the Mexican Government. I hear their laughter...I hear yours...the horror....the horror....

  • i luv it
