he average Mexican citizen can leave their homeland and find work to earn money and send it back to their family, legally, whereas, the average USA citizen never faced such an extraordinary challenge.

The average Mexican citizen will help any foriegn citizen in Mexico who needs it and consider it a priveledge. The average USA citizen seems to consider foriegnors a bother.

how can they be doing it legally when they have to steal identities to get a driver's license or social security number? Face it--no matter how noble you try to paint an illegal, to make money in the states--most have to lie and steal and cheat.

Lie: about who they are and how they came to be here and if they belong here, and lie on the job app.

Steal: at the very least the id of a real American citizen, just to get a driver's license or SS card

Cheat--by jumping in the line for immigration--because rhe movement of the legitimate line depends on job availabilities as well as other factors, the line moves slower when needs are met by line jumpers wo somehow think their desperate need to be here trumps another person who may have been waiting dor years.

there is little honor or admiration for any of these traits.

The billionaires steal all the money and keep all the government aid sent from the US while they force the avg Mexican to exist on less than 1000.00 per year?

Watch them kill off their pigs in fear...
The only reason its called swine flu is how similar our immune systems are...
Posted by inventagod at 1:22 PM : Apr 27, 2009


It is called swine flu because the primary strain of flu has pigs as its natural reservoir. That strain can on occasion combine with a human flu strain--but infection is usually limit6ed to those in close proximity to pigs. So a pig fu strain has jumped species--but this time, it combined with a human flu strain that already had combined with a bird species strain.

Many viruses are animal or species specific and seldom cross or can infect other species. Swine flu is called swine flu due to one of the dominant strains being a flu that usually affects mostly pigs--not humans and never birds. The key to this virus jumping species successfully was that both had already crossed with humans and so had common ground

For all those irate because the source of swine flu was Mexico . . . .
Were you equally furious when AIDS entered Mexico from the U.S.?


Do we live in Mexico? We were pretty upset when it came here from Africa...

Schools have taught children for years that when Cortez landed in the new world that he brought european diseases with him. These diseases supposedly leveled indian populations. What if swine flu is originally a european derivation of earlier diseases. European ethnic groups would have already built up more immunities than ethnic indiginous people of Mexico. Thus, Mexico would have a higher fatality rate from a flu pandemic.

LOL


Its like trying to find out the source of moisture/condensation on your phone, while standing under niagara falls. Im sure the Mexican authorities have a tough time finding the germy disease ridden unsanitary no health codes vaccination free source of the virus because there are only a few places like that in that country. And by few places I mean the entire damn country. lol I dont see why they just dont shrug it off saying "hey it could be worse. were surprised we havent had bigger outbreaks sooner!" and just continue on living.


I Like how the media feeds into this nonsense just like when they did the whole SARS bit. My goshness! Where did this SARS come from?! Its so MYSTERIOUS! When the truth is like "hey jackoffs, they eat stray cats dipped in manure and sprinkled with dust for lunch then wash it down with factory runoff water in Guangdong province!!


Then of course they equate that country with ours saying that IT CAN HAPPEN HERE TOO. Its times like these we need to tag, mark, and track, all the morons that get up in arms over this kinda thing, media and populace. Stop eating raw pork and if youre that scared just eat beef or fish and quiet down. CDC will have a vaccine out soon. Cant turn on the TV without cursed news alerts about "how to protect your kids from Swine Flu." Of course the reaction to any such sentiment is "OH WELL YOURE NOT A PARENT YOU JUST DONT KNO!!!" Well gee thanks for the oblivious tip but does being a parent mean losing your rational mind? Shouldn't you need/use it MORE?! What is that fallacious argument?


And whats wrong with this generation too btw? 100 years ago THOUSANDS of kids got polio. before that, waves of diseases killed tens of thousands. 152 people die in some foreign land that have never heard of washing hands with soap before eating with fingers, and suddenly its a pandemic.


Nonsense. All of it. Besides look at the bright side. Pork chops, tenderloins, bellies and jowls all just got cheaper. When life gives us idiocy, grill up some pork!

This is not a Mexican virus. This virus starts at Virginia and North Carolina at Carroll farms. Your government ask them to leave because they were polluting the environment in the same way they are doing it in Mexico.
Carroll Farms are installed at La Gloria, Veracruz. They have killed a lot of local people with this virus.
Some locals ask to the municipal authorities to close the farm, but this people who ask for their rights are in jail now.
Carroll Farms are still operating at La Gloria.
