    that I appreciate.

    1. Foreign nationals are not allowed to vote or participate in any way. One evening in the zocalo, ten liberal tourists were overwhelmed with enthusiasm for communist protesters and joined in. Three were arrested and the others were picked up later in the evening. All ten were out of the country the next morning. Personally, I wish there was a three-month cooling off period in prison before they were deported. They are not invited to ride in the presidential limousine with the President.

    2. There is a moratorium on campaigning and campaign ads for a few weeks before the election. They don't have the hurricane of crap we're seeing in the U.S. right now.

    3. The President get a six-year non-renewable term. He doesn't campaign while he's in office. The President of Mexico is also not allowed to leave the country, on business or luxury vacations, without legislative permission. I love that one.

    Of course, elections in Mexico are not squeaky clean as in the U.S.

    Forgot one HUGE one. Mexicans must produce a photo ID to vote.It is free, but they must produce a birth certificate, another form of photo ID, and a utility bill or other document verifying address.

    But we won't EVER hear that Mexicans require a photo ID to vote from leftmedia. Doesn't fit the narrative.

    Oh, and Canada has stringent voter ID laws as well. Have we heard much about that in MSM or in the leftosphere? Of course not.
