Thread: Pam Starr: Latin Am. Analyst

I LIKE this woman, Pam Starr! She is the Latin Am. Analyst for Eurasia Group. Was just on CNN talking about the Mexican policies, procedures, and laws that are forcing their citizens to come here....as well as identifying all the corruption here that also encourages the mass migration. We need to look this woman up and her published comments (if any).

Look at the second link down.

Here is her BIO, and before people start flame throwing because of her affiliations, keep in mind she is the ONLY person I have heard to date from the "other side" who truthfully pointed out how Mexico is forcing its people here, doesn't want them back, and has messed up their own economy to the point where it's not only harming its own people, but ours as well. Remember....you attract more flies with honey....
