SPANISH:  “¡Pobre Mexico!  ¡Tan lejos de Dios y tan cerca de los Estados Unidos!”   ‡

       ‡ )  “Poor Mexico! So far from God and so close to the United States!” —  attrib. to Porfirio Diaz, who had participated in the routing of the French at Veracruz, & who served as “President” of Mexico from 1876 to 1911  (with a brief periods, 1876, & again 1880 — 1884, when fuck-puppets Juan Méndez & Manuel González respectively served as interim presidents) ;  Diaz’s presidency was marked by a surface stability (modernization & economic growth) made possible by political repression, graft & corruption, & by selling off everything to foreign corporations, esp. mining & agri-business concerns. In 1911 Diaz was kicked out on his arse during the Mexican Revolution;  he slithered off to expile in Spain.  After the Mexican revolution many industries were nationalized.
