Most people in the U.S. see Mexico as an essential partner to stop drug trafficking and illegal border crossings, even as they express mixed views of Mexico’s government, according to a new poll.

The poll from the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts and The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found that about two-thirds of Americans see their southern neighbor as having at least a friendly relationship with the U.S. Relatively few within that group, or 16%, consider Mexico a close ally. Meanwhile, U.S. adults are more likely to have an unfavorable (38%) view of Mexico’s leadership than a favorable (12%) one. The remaining responded they did not have an unfavorable or favorable view or were not sure.

I wonder how many of those can even name Mexico's president

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Because most people know Mexico is our most important ally and the majority of issues in Mexico can be directly traced back to America.

All of North America should be seeking to deepen their ties and trade. US politics has been the number one hurdle to greater cooperation with our nations.

I would kinda rather have a nice happy North America. I don't want problems with Canada or Mexico. Like let's be the cool continent.

I've got no beef with Mexico. Visiting Cancun for 1st time in January.

[–] Sir_Kevin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

To be fair Cancun, Cozumel and other tourist traps aren't really Mexico proper.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It is in Mexico. You'd have to explain?

I'm sure any brewery in the area would be considered Mexican.

[–] BackOnMyBS@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I've been to Cancun and Cozumel. I've had friends from Mexico.

I think what the previous comment is alluding to is that the tourist areas will be highly tailored to making tourist locations feel "welcoming". This means that places will resemble USA and European countries with a slight spritz of Mexican stereotypes, so they won't validly represent Mexican life. You might have a great experience, but it won't be authentic Mexico.

To me, Cancun had a debauchery/spring break/Myrtle Beach feel to it.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Sure. I'm not concerned about the authenticity of the visit. Just the fact that the brewery is in Mexico. That will give me my 5th country I've visited breweries.

[–] dolphinmx@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Enjoy your trip, Cancun is a nice place, I recommend you to visit outside the resort area like the pyramids and cenotes, enjoy the food too.

[–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ty. There's a small group going at least 6. I'm sure there'll be exploring. My top priority will be a Mexican beer brewery.

I say, let the confederate states have their own country and the US and mexico have a shotgun wedding.
