Protests hurt Mexico City sales

Register Guard--

" MEXICO CITY -- Political unrest here is taking an economic toll, rattling investors and costing businesses in the capital millions in lost sales.
Observers here say leftist presidential candidate Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador may be gaining momentum with his calls for a recount of the July 2 balloting.

Results showing that he lost by a whisker to conservative, pro-business rival Felipe Calderon have been dogged by allegations of vote tampering and dirty campaigning. Street protests by supporters of Lopez Obrador, the popular former mayor of Mexico City, have grown in recent weeks.

His followers seized control of one of the capital's main arteries on Sunday, setting up tent encampments following a massive rally in the historic city center to pressure election officials to perform a vote-by-vote recount of all 41 million ballots cast in last month's presidential contest. "

why don't illegal aliens from Mexico use that same momentum to take back their country and make it a more livable place instead of having to run over here?

And Hillsboro Mayor, Tommy Hughes, is in Mexico, as I comment, securing what we need, a "sister city".

Hillsboro is it's own "sister City".....

Nice to know they can bring their own economy to its knees because they didn't do much to us when they boycotted shopping for a day.
