Misconceptions about Mexico unchallenged

In fact, Barack Obama had already said in Dallas, “We have to improve our relationship with Mexico so their economy is producing jobs on that side of the border.”

During the debate, Obama said President Bush “has been so obsessed with Iraq that we have not seen the kinds of outreach and cooperative work that would ensure the Mexican economy is working not just for the very wealthy in Mexico, but for all people.”

In the spin room, after the debate, I asked state Rep. Ana Hernandez, an Obama surrogate, to explain what Obama meant. A daughter of Mexican immigrants whose father was out of a job before leaving long ago, she said flatly, Mexico doesn’t have a middle class. “They need to fix the economic policy.””*
