A Black Man, A White Man and a Mexican Walk Into a Summit

Hah, you think I'm going there with that lede?

Seems that at a summit of the duly elected leaders of the NAFTA countries, and 0bama, El Presidente Calderon complained to Prime Minister Halfaspine about the new visa rules. To wit, Mexicans now need a visa to visit Canada, where before they didn't.

So what? We're a sovereign sort-of-nation, and if we choose to impose visas on Mexican touristas, that's our business. Don't like it? Well, Felipe, a hearty vete a la mierda. What are you gonna do, impose visas on us? Go ahead, who spends more tourist dollars, Canadians in Mexico, or Mexicans in Canada.

And, BTW, the reason for it is the number of Mexicans who come here as tourists and claim refugee status. Yes, our refugee system is broken beyond repair (the subject of another post), but, if Mexico were a half decent place to live, rather than yet another corrutp, 3rd world shithole, maybe your citizens wouldn't feel the need to cheat their way into Canada.

C'mon, seriously, MEXICANS are fleeing to CANADA. D'you know what the weather is like here? Here's a thought, fix your own POS country rather than complain that we're making it hard for your citizens to flee.
