Letters to the Editor

I am often dismayed by the many illogical arguments I read in the "Letters to the Editor" section of the Ft. Worth Star-Telegram, but there are, occasionally, letters that really do merit publication.

One such letter in today's edition justly criticized Mexican Independence Day celebrations in the U.S. and contained a comment that bears repeating:

"For Mexicans, Sept. 16 should be viewed and experienced as a day of tremendous sorrow, because Mexico would be so much better off today if Spain still ruled there."

Why is it that Mexico is, and always has been, such a train wreck of a country? It's no wonder they all want to come here.
