I believe students should be able to follow class instruction in the language of the school which here in the U.S. is majority English. If they are not proficient enough to not be a burden on teachers and interfering with instruction and time with other students they should get to that point on there own. Not paid for by tax dollars or at the expense of other students.

A few days of protests does not things that quickly. The current administration is not moving towards socialism but if they fail with deregulation and privatization that could be the result. People are fed up with the corruption and angry with the United States.

A lot can happen between now at 2018 so Obrador is not a certainty. Don't underestimate the ruling classes ability at corruption.

Mexico just needs to look at Venezuela and see what can happen to a oil rich Latin American country who goes to far to the left.

Nationalization of foreigners assets is much worse than protectionism -- and such a Latin American thing to do.

I mean really, good job at living up to those stereotypes, Mexico.

Nationalism of Foreing assets has happened in the recent years, too, we don't fear it.

It's not about fear, it is about justice, freedom, and rule of law.

Nobody in the developed world wants to invest in a country with capricious rule of law.

Mexico has a very long history of nationalizing foreign assets. Any business that opened in Mexico really should have evaluated that risk before building their factory ( or oil well, or hotel, or nice house by the beach, or whatever they have invested in). It's not like nationalization in Mexico ought to be a surprise to anyone. It's almost a national hobby there.

Something that a lot of US Americans can't seem to understand: your US constitutional rights end whenever you cross the border and leave the USA or USA territories. Outside the country, you are not protected.
