flip a pri, i'm complex

FROM October 15, 2005

as of oct. 1, if you're a mexican expatriate living in the us you are now able to pick up yr ballot to vote in the mexican elections. "Undocumented U.S. residents" who "presumably will not want to be seen anywhere near consular offices" can request a ballot here.

Here's the question of the century(/ies): "Respondent moved to the U.S. and achieved U.S. citizenship because the Mexican system was totally corrupt. Why vote in a fixed election?"

Por que? "The Banco de México, the nation’s central bank, just announced that remittances sent home by Mexicans living abroad (mainly in the U.S.) rose 18 percent for the January 1, 2005 to August 31, 2005 period. Through August the amount rose to US$12.956 billion, compared to US$10.972 billion for the same eight-month period in 2004. It should also be noted, that if not for crude oil prices being sky-high the remittances would be Mexico’s number one source of foreign exchange."
