The following is a slightly condensed and edited account of William McCants’ essay, “Mexico and the United States: A Tale of Two Countries.” The author’s primary affiliation is the James Martin Center for International Relations at The Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. He has done fieldwork on Mexico in the ’80s. This essay was originally published by CentralUnion, the university’s academic journal, and he has kindly allowed us to reproduce it here.

Mexico’s Unique Culture

It’s not a Mexican thing, it’s an American thing, too. (COMMENTARY)

Close your eyes, and what do you see?

Barbed wire, the golden steeple of a church, some green garden, sun, Mexican music. Or is that a ball game in a baseball stadium?

Why are you so fixated on the sight of a building and the sounds it makes, regardless of the city or region of origin? The ball game is America, the building is Mexico City, and the garden is Puebla, which, no offense to Puebla, is not Mexico City.

Go back to your American mall, and you’ll see shoes, shirts, sunglasses and clothing of all kinds. What do you see?

The number of advertisements and storefronts flashing against the background of the other, less-enforced culture of a mall are minuscule compared to that of a decent Mexican street.

Education

Mexico and the USA offer the same educational opportunities for children. Children in Mexico are afforded the same level of education that the children in the USA are, without having to leave their home country to receive a better education. However, the opportunity to receive a college education in the USA is more accessible to the child than it is in Mexico. I will discuss the limitations of higher education in Mexico and the benefits of receiving an education in the USA.

When looking at education in the USA, it is important to look at opportunities for those that are below the college level. University education in the USA is highly overrated. There are many American’s that have completed higher education but do not have a bachelor’s degree in their field.

Immigration Policies

A series of articles by David Carranza, the Deputy Editor of the Mexico City paper, Reforma. It is a series that offers different perspectives on the current debate in the US about illegal immigration.

Some of the readers said that there are differences between the two countries on the immigration issue. Others said that one shouldn’t be surprised by some of the differences. The following, which speaks of immigration from the perspective of a Mexican citizen, will be a mix of the perspectives of both Mexicans and non-Mexicans:

“I am American. I was born in Texas. My parents are Mexican, so my grandparents are Mexican. This is my point of view on the situation in the USA.

First of all, it is very good for those (immigrants) who are here legally.

Poverty Rate in each country

Mexico is now considered the second most dangerous country in the world, in terms of life expectancy and homicide rate. Compared to the USA, things aren’t much better. Being poor in the US and the UK is very different to being poor in Mexico and here’s why.

Mexico

Poverty

Poverty is not only a problem in Mexico, it is also one of the most important barriers in migrating to the US. Living in poverty can be bad enough, but one of the main issues associated with poverty in the US is lack of access to healthcare. This is because the US is one of the few countries that does not provide universal healthcare. This is particularly relevant for migrants who are likely to be without insurance coverage.

Crime Rates in each country

Many of the nations with the largest populations of Mexicans are in the Americas, especially the US and Canada, and, where available, Mexico. The perception that Mexicans are over represented in the US in numbers does not account for the fact that when statistics are considered, the Mexicans are actually over represented, both in the total number of Mexicans in the US, and in the total number of incarcerated Mexicans in the US.

The origin of the myth of Mexicans are over represented in the USA, may be attributable to ignorance and to misinformation, but is also ascribed to the fact that Mexicans, in the context of immigration to the United States, are also found in many other countries, including Canada, the UK, Australia and even Canada.

It’s a common misunderstanding that Mexico has two parallel economies. Like many dual economies, that analogy misses the more dynamic, interdependent nature of this relationship.

Mexico is proud of its booming economy. In the last 15 years, it has won the admiration of the world. It is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world and surpassed China in the mid-2000s to become the second-largest emerging market, a remarkable accomplishment for a country of less than 120 million people.

That is not to say that the opportunities afforded by a thriving economy do not come at the expense of political and human rights abuses, though there is a growing awareness of this issue by the Mexican public.

What Factors Will Affect The Outcome of the Mexico vs USA World Cup Match

In this article, you will learn about the likely outcome of the Mexico vs USA World Cup Group Stage match.

On Friday, 11 June 2018, the two teams, Mexico and USA, will face each other in their second Group Stage game. One team will be heading home (Mexico) while the other team will be heading to the next round of the 2018 World Cup.

Although Mexico has just drawn its first match 1-1 against South Korea, you can never count out El Tri. Furthermore, Juan Carlos Osorio’s side seems more fluid and dynamic now than it ever was before. Meanwhile, Mexico hasn’t lost any of its last 13 matches.

Conclusion

With two very important teams set to play each other in a final group stage game, I’m going to take a shot at making a prediction, albeit very rough. We’re entering the business end of the World Cup. Neither team is likely to want to settle for a tie in their final group stage game and there is a slight chance they both win and advance out of group stage. Of course, that’s unlikely to happen, but a tie would still be a highly positive result, especially if both teams finish with four points or more.

The Group Stage

Both teams play in Group A, where three teams have a very good chance of advancing (Mexico and Germany are among them) and it’s difficult to predict who the other three teams are. That being said, we know that Colombia has gotten knocked out.
