[edit] Immigration

I cited hi some sources for the Immigration section but the section mostly quotes from the Mexican Constitution and doesn't cite any immigration policies. I tried my best to include information about actual immigrants since after all that section is titled Immigration but the section still doesn't flow well. Also, this section seems out of place since there is already an article titled Immigration_to_Mexico. The statement "Mexico has the most strict immigration laws in the world" is POV.

Zapatistas

The Zapatista Army of National Liberation (aka, EZLN / Zapatistas) has had a special place in Mexican political history . . . it resulted in millions of pesos being thrown at Chiapas shortly after the uprising; in a massive military occupation of Chiapas; in inspiring hundreds of other indigenous communities to become autonomous; in inspiring a global movement against neo-liberalism, esecially against the WTO, the IMF and the World Bank; in turning the tide of the general political culture to the left, to the point where a center-left candidate stands at the throes of winning the election for the first time in Mexican history; and last, but far from least, in giving a voice to the voiceless, that is, to the indigenous and impoverished people who live in much of Southeastern Mexico. Thus, it deserves a proper place on this page, which should be substantially more in-depth and substantive than the state is in now, where it is falsely described as a mere "conflict." It's much more than a conflict, it's a social movement whose influence has reached far and wide in Mexico and beyond.

[edit] Judicial Branch

The first sentence of this section is missing a word, but I'm not sure what it shouold be.

Article 94 of the Constitution provides that the judicial power of the United , each with five justices.

[edit] Remove the photo, stop messing around

[edit] political leanings of parts of the country

It's often reported in the media that northern Mexico tends to be more conservative, and southern Mexico more left-wing. It would be useful to have some sort of discussion of that issue. --Delirium 16:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
