We are fed up with complaints that Mexico is stealing jobs from U.S. manufacturing. We are part of the solution that has maintained competitiveness for the U.S. versus China.
I am vigorously opposed to the Mexican trucks coming into the country. The way we have done it and, I think, the way we should do it in the future, is to have the goods come into the United States from Mexico within a 20-mile commercial space and unloaded from Mexican trucks into U.S. trucks.
We are not going to build a pressure in Mexico. We’re not building walls to retain our people.
What I miss most about Mexico isn’t the food or the customs; it’s my family and the way we’d all sit around chatting together.
I had been successful in Japan, Mexico, and Puerto Rico, but nothing in the U.S. where it really matters.
I was born in Mexico because my father was teaching at a school in Mexico City. I was born during the third year he was there. And when I was 16, I returned to Mexico to learn Spanish.
Yeah, I’d be happy to go back to Mexico or Japan to make another film.
I never camped as a kid, but I really got into camping and sleeping outdoors. I’ve also done some amazing river floats in New Mexico and Idaho. It’s peaceful and awesome.
American strategic doctrine suggests that Mexico is of second-level importance to the United States. It ranks below Japan and Indonesia, Brazil and India, Egypt and Israel, and European powers including Britain, France, and Germany. This is a grave geopolitical miscalculation.
My concern for education in New Mexico has always been there. I’m one of those kids that struggled through school, and I feel like I fell through the cracks.
In a country like Mexico, you can’t forget about poverty – about how half of the population lives in poverty, and how half of that half live in extreme poverty.
It would indeed be fortunate for Mexico if a new era of PRI presidencies were a sign of healthy rotation in power rather than a regrettable step backwards.
We have a great, positive relationship with Mexico. The Tijuana mayor crosses into San Diego, we talk all the time and vice verses. It’s about neighbors working together, and that’s my very clear message about a bi-national region that works. That’s a competitive advantage.
There are now 30-year-old Mexican writers who do great novels in which Mexico isn’t even mentioned.
The reality is: By the time swine flu got on the radar screen of global public health, it had already spread. It was already in the States, it was in Mexico, it was in New Zealand. By the time it reaches that point, you’ve lost the ability to contain it.
I met Jeb Bush in 1971 in my hometown in Mexico. We dated for three years back and forth. Then, after three years, he proposed to me.
‘Britain’s Got Talent’ just gave me that platform that I needed to share that with the world and be recognized, and now I’m able to travel the world and sing my music in places I never thought I’d visit – Dubai, Mexico, Brazil, so many different places.
I’ve been trying to pinpoint what keeps drawing me back to the Gulf of Mexico, because I’m Canadian, and I can draw no ancestral ties.
I do more films than television, and in Mexico, they are more situational comedies – not the typical telenovela.
We have years of tradition in lucha libre in Mexico.
Mexico is so close to us. No matter how long we stay here, we identify as Americans first, but we also have a place for our mother country. That is very visible in San Antonio.
I love Sam Mendes, but I went to see ‘Spectre’ with my kid, and the opening scene of the Dia de Muertos party, with this kind of tropical music, in downtown Mexico City, with all these people dancing like it’s the Rio de Janeiro carnival… I had to laugh.
I’ve been really fortunate and I’ve just tried to focus on the work and getting people to see Mexico, its food and its culture in a slightly different light. It’s tricky with Mexican food because a lot of our recipes are so deeply rooted in tradition and Mexican history. That’s a heavy responsibility!
No level of border security, no wall, doubling the size of the border patrol, all these things will not stop the illegal migration from countries as long as a 7-year-old is desperate enough to flee on her own and travel the entire length of Mexico because of the poverty and the violence in her country.
Growing up in Mexico, I have many fond memories of not only celebrating posadas with my family, but also of the time spent together menu planning and prepping for decoration and entertaining activities. A lot of work goes into celebrating these traditions, but that doesn’t mean they have to cost a lot too.
I know how to create and make people feel something. Honestly, if I didn’t do this, I would just have some minimum-wage job in New Mexico, and I would go out on the weekends and make just enough money to pay my insurance and pay for a couple beers, and that would be it.
I guess I’m kind of a mutt. I was born in the U.S., my parents are from Mexico, and I grew up in Switzerland. It’s weird because I sound American, but I spell theater ‘theatre’ with the ‘r’ before the ‘e’.
When Harvard University opened its doors in 1636, there were already well-established universities in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, and Peru.
Taking it as a whole, Mexico is a grand city, and, as Cortes truly said, its situation is marvellous.
Las Vegas, New Mexico has had a lot of great movies shot there.
To get elected in Mexico today, you have to compete like any democracy, and you don’t do that by being manipulated.
The support I’ve had from all Latin people, and Mexico especially, has allowed me to conquer my alcoholism.
The Bush administration as well as Mexico and Canada have persons in the government in all three countries who want to a see a North American Union as well as a highway system that would bring goods into the west coast of Mexico and transport them up through Mexico into the United States and then in onto Canada.
Aguilar Zinser played a crucial role in the struggle for democracy in Mexico. He was on the right side of that battle, however strident, passionate, and difficult he was.
As mayor, I’ve traveled to China, Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, and Mexico to meet with heads of state and business leaders to promote trade with L.A. companies and through L.A.’s seaports and airports – because that generates L.A. jobs.
But, I’ve made films in Japan, in Yugoslavia, all over Europe, all over the United States, Mexico, but not Hollywood.
I believe we could see a North American Union formed. Why else are our borders with Mexico and Canada being left wide open some six years into a War on Terror?
New Mexico is an environment where we are open for business.
Global Force is creating a product that has people from independents, and guys who people know are good in their area, and they’ll take on guys from around the world in New Japan, Mexico, Puerto Rico, Australia.
I love collecting market stuff in Mexico. I have an etagere built onto the wall of my living room, which has cubicles that are lit and filled with super inexpensive pottery. You see them in a new way; they become museum pieces.
When I was a teenager there was no video in my country. Betamax came to Mexico very slowly.
Really, Mexico City has always been this big, complex monster of a city that has always had real problems and needs, and I’ve always found my way through it in different ways.
What we have in Mexico and Latin America is a wide diversity of voices, but in Mexico, for example, we haven’t been able to get a lot of the movies into theaters.
Many Mexican directors are scared to shoot in Mexico City, which is why there are many stories in Mexican cinema about little rural towns, or set a hundred years ago.
If there’s a cyberattack from China or Russia or Romania or Mexico, it may well run through a server in another country. And it may take months before you know where it really came from.
A song like ‘Osito Carpintero’ came straight from the Pedro Infante films, movies that all the kids in Mexico watched.
When I campaigned for governor, I was clear about where our priorities must lie: Opportunity for New Mexico students and long-overdue recognition of New Mexico educators and staff.
I love Russia. Some people love Africa, some people love Mexico, some people love purple, the color purple. I love Russia, and I’m not scared to say it.
Amnesty International continues to report that extra judicial tortures and murders continue. This is not democracy that we are exporting to Mexico, and this is certainly not what the Mexican workers signed up for.
Let me first clarify that NAFTA is a trilateral agreement. The decision of walking away is not of Mexico or Canada. The decision of walking away is of the U.S.
In Mexico, to become a pro wrestler, you have to have a wrestling license, and to get a license, you have to pass a wrestling test.
Instead of being with my family, I was spending a lot of time trying to start all over again, from zero, in another country. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I went back to Mexico and said, ‘I’m gonna do my own stuff.’ So, I did my movie that I was trying to do for many, many years, called ‘Instructions Not Included.’
