I met recen...Your point is unfortunately right on. I met recently with USAID in Mexico City and watched as they explained an aid program that included as one of it's highest achievements...a visiting scholar program.<BR/><BR/>It seemed almost unfathomable that the U.S. govt. would be voting in a massive investment in building a wall to keep Mexicans out while not doing what would really help keep them from coming...community development, youth development, etc. <BR/><BR/>Mexico City's population of over 20 million people has an average age of 14.2 and yet the U.S. is committing almost nothing to help strategically form that massive next generation into a healthier Mexico. <BR/>So much for loving your neighbors.<BR/>We will have to change this.boy with a ballhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13867607362973461809noreply@blogger.com
