I found this in the NY Times (<em><strong>my emphases<\/strong><\/em>):<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In an hourlong news conference after a private meeting, Mr. Obama and Mr. Pe\u00f1a Nieto repeatedly sought to <em><strong>shift their public conversation away from security and border issues<\/strong><\/em> that have long dominated such high-level visits, to <em><strong>focus instead on the vast economic relationship<\/strong><\/em> between the two nations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While it is sufficiently implied here, the article goes on to indicate how the two presidents were dodging the &#8220;real issues&#8221; (drug violence and illegal immigration) to focus on a secondary issue like economy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Some Facts to Consider &#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Well, here&#8217;s some news for the NYT:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Drug violence is far less of an issue in most of the country than U.S. media (like themselves) imply<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;\">Mexican immigration to the U.S. has almost dropped to 0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This last point means as many Mexicans are going back home as are heading into the U.S. Why? Well, job opportunities are better &#8211; oh, wait, that&#8217;s economy, that secondary issue that the presidents &#8220;wasted their time&#8221; talking about.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, Mexico has actually been sending jobs to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As a growing number of brokers, businessmen, investors, retirees, vacationers and large corporations are realizing, Mexico&#8217;s economy has huge potential, and it&#8217;s on its way up.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So, maybe the Presidents did well to focus on economy. Oh, but it&#8217;s so hard to make a good headline about Mexico without including the words &#8220;violence&#8221; or &#8220;immigration.&#8221; But I guess you can still stuff the article full of those words even when they&#8217;re not very relevant to the topic being reported &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thomas Lloyd<\/strong><em> graduated from Purdue University Krannert School of Management with a degree in Management\/Financial Option Investments.
