you want to see a good example of mining go up behind el ttuufo and san jaun de costa to nams a few... |
Go visit any mining town for that matter. It looks like all the nutrients have been sucked out of the soil.
Kellog, Id
Trail, BC
Butte, MT
El triunfo, bcs
These are just a few examples of areas where the land has been destroyed.

They will deport under certain circumstances but probably not a group. Safety in numbers.
A solo voice won't have what it takes to defend himself if someone with the right phone number wants him out. This I know.
Is the offending party the government or big business or both? I'm guessing both so if foreigners want to protest, protest the actions of the
business and leave the fight against the government to the Nationals.
I don't think there's a regulation stating one can't vocally object to the behavior of a business.

Ironic that the offender is a non-Mexican mining company. But non-Mexicans living in the area to be polluted have no voice? R.O.N.G.

mostly Mexicans. |
I wonder how many of them are watching their property values swirl down the crapper. |
Most of the Mexicans
around here have either been in their homes for generations or plan to be so they don't really pay too much attention to property values. The only
time property valuations have spiked in Mexico was due to the real estate bubbles in the US and was probably detrimental to most Mexicans because it
made home ownership more expensive for them.

Mining....temporary profits with permanent damage! Rarely ever done well!
Local people always suffer both north and south of any border you choose!
