I couldn't care less that it was Rachel Smith, Miss USA, who was booed at the Miss Universe contest in Mexico City. The beauty pageants and their participants of today lack the class of those of yesteryear. There always seems to be some sort of scandal attending the crowned beauties, and they have little to no impact on much of anything. And, she fell on her tuckus. Literally.
What is maddening is that, once again, Mexico thumbs its nose at the US while exporting illegal aliens by the millions. It reaps the benefits of that in monies earned being sent back there in the billions of dollars. Its drug gangs operate with virtual impunity within our borders, and those profits make their way back to corrupt Mexican politicians who perpetuate those dealings.
Said Fox News:
Smith was booed repeatedly during her stay in Mexico, including last week, when she carried a guitar and wore an Elvis-style suit during a parade of national costumes held in downtown Mexico City.
She kept her poise during an interview Monday night with pageant judges, despite the boos and chants of "Mexico! Mexico!" that drowned out her answer.
U.S. athletes have sparked a similar response. In 2005, when the U.S. played Mexico during a World Cup soccer qualifier, the crowd booed the U.S. national anthem and a smattering of fans chanted "Osama! Osama!" during the game.
Mexicans are upset about border walls, immigration legislation, and just about anything else we do in our own national interest.
To which I reply: To hell with Mexico. When Mexico, blessed with natural resources and beautiful geography, develops into a nation that people don't rush to leave, develops an economy that doesn't require the equivalent of a welfare program to keep it afloat, and elects a government that doesn't read like a "Who's Who" listing of felonious criminals, then perhaps we can entertain their criticisms.
Until then...............who gives a damn.
