What can you say to a country that has everything?  

The country I'm thinking of has natural resources (silver, copper, gold, zinc, lead, and timber), agriculture, tourism, a thriving alcoholic beverage industry, cheap labor, abundant oil and natural gas, thriving automotive and textile industries, a 96% literacy rate among kids between ages (15-24), fine arts, it's own distinctive cuisine, and is home to the world's richest man.

I'd say: Get your act together Mexico!

Plain & Simple:  Mexico is not a poor country, but a poorly run country.  It has the ability to be an amazingly prosperous nation, but it's government refuses to build infrastructure, break up monopolies, or ferret out corruption.  Just building infrastructure would keep thousands of Mexicans employed for years to come.  If you think Mexico is a poor country with no opportunity, get the facts!
