Yes, they certainly don't change just by sneaking over the border illegally. A whole lot of them commit the same crimes they did back home and that's how they destroyed their own country and no longer want to live in it.
Mexicans are like the filthy neighbor that refuses to clean up his house and yard until it becomes so unliveable that they want to move into your nice clean home.
If you had any understanding about history you wouldn't be so blase about your all inclusive views about our neighbors. Corruption in Mexico begun, condoned and practiced with the revolutionary government's political dominating PRI in 1922. Run by ex-revolutionary generals corruption was to a great extent government institutionalized. That institionalization included booze, drugs, prostitition and much more. Imagine running all the above with no interference, being an untouchable and operating with impunity.
Imagine then a new political party trying to overturn those practices and attemting to do so inspite of the adversities involved. It is akin to us changing our economic system that favors the powerful corporations while leaving our citizens to fight for leftovers (trickle down economics); like giving huge corporate credits and writeoffs while the masses are left with huge tax payments. You wouldn't think that those powerful economic institutions would not resist changes would you?
The average Mexican citizen is decent, hardworking with good moral principles just like average Main Street American.
Let the NRA do the right thing and do the extraordinary thing: get in the band wagon and refuse to allow arms into Mexico and you would quickly see how rapidly drug cartel corruption would decelarate. Like Americans, Mexicans want a better national life.
To the NRA, guns is just another business opportunity hiding behind a "right", an entitlement.
