South of the border down Mexico way

I am glad the folks in Mexco appear to now just becoming aware of how deeply rooted and pervasive the corruption by criminal elements are in their legal and law enforcement systems.

It will be tough to root them out but they really need to press ahead and get 'er done.

Also we ought to lend support and help them if requested.  It is in our best interests to do so IMHO.

BTW enjoy the music, I love this song.
