Actually, I believe I did.

But in addition to an entire society devoted to the cult of death, they’ve made huge contributions too the field of civil engineering:

Mexican troops discovered a 122 yard long tunnel apparently aimed at crossing the U.S. border underground.

Army Gen. Alberto Duarte Mujica says soldiers found the half-built tunnel under a three-story building in the border city of Tijuana.

The army said Sunday that soldiers raided a warehouse where equipment used to build the tunnel was stored, and found 275 pounds of marijuana. They also detained seven men and two women in the Saturday raid.

The wood-lined, 6-foot high tunnel was apparently meant to extend another 144 yards to reach U.S. territory. It was equipped with electrical lights and a ventilation system.

What’s next, Mexican suicide bombers at the mall? Nah, the Palestinians have a patent on that.

Bet you never thought of this unintended consequence of the economic downturn: call it the tortilla chip blues:

Mexicans in the United States sent home 12.2 percent less money this past August than the same month last year, the Banco de Mexico said Wednesday.

That translates into remittances of $1.9 billion, versus $2.2 billion last year, said the bank, which blamed tough economic times in the United States for the decline.

“The prolonged deceleration of economic activity in the United States has adversely affected the opportunities for employment in that country and, consequently, those of the Mexican migrants,” the bank said in a statement posted on its Web site.

…

Some economists predict the drop will increase by year’s end to 20 percent.

After oil exports, remittances are Mexico’s second-largest source of foreign currency.

…

Rosina Gonzalez, who ran a Western Union office in Atlanta several years ago and recently returned to the job, said she has noticed a big change.

Back then, “everyone was sending money to Mexico, Mexico, Mexico — a lot of money,” she said.

“Now, I’m returning to work after four or five years and the norm now is that the people who used to send money to Mexico are asking the people in Mexico to send money here.”

Some are abandoning their hope for a slice of the American dream by opting to return to their country.

Their country? America’s not their country? Then what were they doing here and why should I give a damn?
