I recall some years ago ol' Lou confronting the President of Mexico by
asking (paraphrasing) "Why don't you create a society that provides a
decent standard of living for its people so they don't HAVE to risk their
lives to escape to this country? You don't see Americans sneaking
across the border for a better life." Dobbs kinda grabbed me for a
moment. As a frequent visitor to Mexico and a witness to the awful
povery of the indigenous people there, I often compaired the dramatic
wealth to the other extreme. Of course, we cannot afford decent health
insurance for the poorest of our own citizens.
