OK, I'm ignorant. What's going on in Mexico?

[Target_For_Exterm]

I know there was a dispute over the Bush2000 style election. I know that a lot of those who objected to the stealing of the election are still in opposition to the government. But can someone give me a simple low down on everything that's going on there right now? Why is Mexico set to explode on December 1? Why will that spill over into the US?

1. because the USA is 10 to 12% mexican migrants, i dont really like the term migrant, they are not

to fly home in the fall.. the rich in Mexico are getting richer exporting their poverty here.. they, the haves, are second only to france in standard of living.

and peaceful protestors.
