They don't "hate" Mexico, Jerry. Anymore than you or I do. They have issues with illegal immigration, cartel violence, the drugs flowing over the border, just as many Americans do, even folks that love Mexico.
You and I and many here see it differently because we've lived it for so many years. But when the average Joe sees the news of State Dept. warnings not to travel to Cancun (today) because of 8 gruesome murders this week, what exactly are they supposed to think? Meanwhile, in Chicago, they'd love to see a weekend with only 8 shootings! And that goes largely ignored.
Go figure.
