What I would like to see is a American-born Mexican (or Chicano/Chicanca) running for president of the U.S. I believe a better relation with Mexico and U.S would help the border issue and soon Mexico will become a better well-developed country to the point people wouldn't need to cross to the U.S for a better opportunity. A Mexican can truly address that in his or her position. What's more - Mexicans are the biggest minority in America who contribute heavily to the economy and it's crucial we need a president who share the "Mexican" experience. As White Americans will become a minority 50-100 years from now, Mexicans will become the dominant race in this country - and I KNOW that a Mexican will lead the U.S sooner or later. Border-issue, illegal immigrants, slave labor, bilingual education, and cultural issues will be resolve in the future. This I KNOW - Mexicans will someday become a majority in America.

It's a darn shame when our current leaders focus so much on foreign issues and policies yet when right in OUR OWN backyard, these politicians are morons who think they know so much about Mexicans. They are OUTSIDERS who know jack about their culture. A real Mexico-America relation will begin soon.

Don't be mad at this because it's true!
I can see why you'd want a racist president with a race based agenda.
Racists like you with your concerns on only Mexicans and Mexico won't get for on this board.

Personal attacks and race-baiting, and reported as such.

Did you report homie01's post as well?

That was 'race baiting' as well-----------never mind that there is no Mexican race in the genetic sense.

No, from what I've seen, I'd bet about 10 of you already jumped on it.
And I'd be surprised if the moderator hadn't banned him yet.

We had a Mexican run for US President in 1968: George Romney. Had he won the nomination; he may have run afoul of the 'native born American' rule.

He was born/raised in Chihuahua, Mx while his US citizen parents were (probably) legal residents there.

Remember that not all Mexicans are short Indians/Mestizos with brown skin.
